3. WR Eric Decker

The New York Jets have one of the better wide receiver tandems in football, as Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker seem to light up the stat sheet every week. Decker is one of the more productive fantasy football receivers in the game, having scored a touchdown in his last six games. He will continue that streak on Sunday.

Both Decker and Marshall have been limited in practice this week, but Decker returned on Thursday. He has declared himself ready to go, although head coach Todd Bowles said he will be a game-time decision. Do not let that fool you, as you can be sure Decker will be in the lineup on Sunday.

The reason Decker is such a great fantasy play is that it seems no matter how many catches he gets, at least one goes for a touchdown. In Week 1, he only had two receptions but scored once. Last week, he caught six balls, and once again found the end zone. Throughout his NFL career, 52 of his 384 receptions have gone for six.

The Jets will throw in this game, as the Chiefs have two inexperienced cornerbacks. Eric Berry is arguably the best safety in football, so they are going to have to keep an eye on him throughout. Decker has the ability to go deep, or catch those tough slants over the middle, so plug him in your lineup and watch him score once again.
