Decker was an obvious winner Saturday night, as he and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick hooked up four times for 52 yards, including an 18-yard touchdown connection in the first quarter, per NFL Network on Twitter: 

Decker also posted a 25-yard reception, which was the Jets' longest of the night. 

Posey, meanwhile, acquitted himself nicely. Not only did he average nearly 10 yards per catch, but the former Houston Texan also tied Brandon Marshall with a team-high five targets. 

However, Posey's not on the fantasy radar just yet. According to FantasyPros.com, Posey isn't being drafted among the top 113 wide receivers in fantasynor should he be. Barring an injury to Decker or Marshall, Posey won't emerge as a week-to-week fantasy factor. 

Conversely, Decker's being drafted 40th among wideouts, per FantasyPros. At that price, he should be considered a value pick. While Decker doesn't offer the upside of an explosive up-and-comer such as John Brown of the Arizona Cardinals—currently being drafted 39th among receivers—he proved capable of posting steady numbers during his first season with Gang Green.  

Last year, Decker caught 74 passes for 962 yards and five touchdowns over the course of 15 appearances.  

The absence of a stud signal-caller limits Decker's ceiling, but it's important to remember quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick posted a quarterback rating of 109.1 when throwing at least 20 yards downfield last season, according to Pro Football Focus.
