10. Eric Decker, New York Jets

Decker, 27, is in the middle of his prime but after back-t0-back 1,000-yard seasons with Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos, Decker signed a lucrative free agent deal to leave the Mile High City and head to the Big Apple.

After catching 87 passes for 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns from the quarterback who may go down as the best to ever play the game in an offense that set multiple records last season, Decker now has the pleasure (misfortune) of catching passes from Geno Smith.

If Jets fans are expecting to get the Decker who averaged 86-1,161-12 the last two years with Manning, they are surely going to be disappointing this season. I would be avoiding Decker in any and all fantasy leagues this year as his numbers are going to take a precipitous drop.
