Eric Decker, WR, Tennessee Titans

Yahoo Ownership Percentage: 57%

Eric Decker's fit with the Tennessee Titans was a big question mark headed into the season. On one hand, leaving the terrible New York Jets offense would no doubt do wonders for his efficiency.

On the other hand, though, he'd have to maintain awesome efficiency in order to produce starter-worthy numbers on an offense that'd be sure to deliver him fewer targets. After all, teammates like Delanie Walker, Rishard Matthews, and rookie Corey Davis are serving as competition for work.

But through four weeks, we've gotten neither his Jets-era workload nor the presumed bump in efficiency to enable him to do more with less. His average of five targets per game puts him on pace for 80 targets this season, not nearly enough for him to be in the legitimate WR3 conversation for fantasy purposes.

His 0.27 Reception Net Expected Points (NEP) per target lags far behind Walker's (0.74), Matthews' (0.72), and Davis' (0.48), and is more than three times lower than his career 0.79 mark headed into the season. So he hasn't found his groove with Marcus Mariota yet, either.

And with Mariota potentially missing time with a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 4, Decker's unlikely to get his season back on track with Matt Cassel stepping in. Without the target volume or the efficiency to make up for less work, Decker's prospects are at most that of a bench stash until things turn around. But without Mariota at the helm, Decker is basically useless for your team.

Drop Decker and grab Will Fuller instead.
