Eric Decker again reinjures hamstring

Sep 23, 2014

The Jets took a big risk making wide receiver Eric Decker (hamstring) active for Monday night’s game against the Bears at MetLife Stadium. It didn’t work out as they would have hoped.

Decker started the game but after apparently aggravating an existing hamstring injury, his return was ruled out before the start of the fourth quarter.

Decker hauled in a 19-yard catch but that was all he produced and he could be seen holding his helmet in his hand for most of the second quarter.

Fantasy Impact:

His status for Week 4 is very much in doubt. A bit of good news is Decker said after the game he took himself out rather than take a chance of doing more damage for down the road and that it gradually tightened up during the game. Jeremy Kerley, David Nelson and Greg Salas would see increased time if Decker isn't a go.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
