Eric Decker has resurfaced with the Patriots, providing a veteran presence to their receiving corps. It's needed given the four-game suspension for Julian Edelman and the injury and subsequent release for Jordan Matthews. Decker was a role player with the Titans last season, averaging a career-low 10.4 yards per catch. He is versatile enough to work in the slot or line up outside and has a nose for the end zone. It's unlikely Decker will assimilate fully into the Patriots offense but could be an early-season solution for them and for Fantasy owners. He's worth a late-round flier in the deepest of PPR leagues until it looks like he has some serious staying power for the whole season.
