According to ESPN NY's Rich Cimini, Eric Decker shined on the first day of camp. Decker's early camp performance and comfort with quarterback Geno Smith impressed the writer so much that he predicted Decker "will be among the league leaders in targets." (ESPN)
Fantasy Impact:
This may be a bold prediction, but it is certainly not unrealistic. Decker will not see the gaudy touchdown and yardage stats he had with Peyton Manning. Yet, his budding chemistry with Smith and superiority to the Jets other pass catchers will make him the go to option early and often. Decker is still a valuable fantasy prospect and certainly better than his ADP of WR #33. His value may even be higher in PPR leagues than it was with Manning given that he no longer has to fight Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas, and Wes Welker for targets.
