Fantasy Impact:

Since joining the team in late June, Eric Decker has quickly developed a strong relationship with Marcus Mariota. Earlier in camp Decker vowed to teach the young QB everything he learned from the future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, and right now it looks as if that advice could pay off big time for both players. Mariota targeted the veteran Decker on three consecutive third down plays during their Friday night scrimmage. He also frequently targeted Decker in the red zone during the scrimmage. Both players already had success in the red zone before they became teammates, and their fantasy draft stock could rise if this trend continues during the preseason.
