Hours after New York released veteran linebacker David Harris, multiple outlets are reporting that the Jets will either trade or part ways with wide receiver Eric Decker this week.

As NFL.com notes, while chopping Harris saves $6.5 million against the salary cap, dumping Decker creates another $5.75 million in space.

Assessing the fantasy value of Decker was already difficult because his 2016 season was cut short by injuries, and he's recovering from shoulder and hip surgeries. Once training camps open, he'll be 30 and no one knows how close he'll be to the receiver he was in 2015, when he caught 80 passes for 1,027 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Then again, the injuries and a new home could provide great fantasy value.

As ESPN noted, Decker posted a trio of top-10 fantasy campaigns during the four seasons leading up to his 2016 season.

Assuming he's on the field for somebody when training camps begin, he'll be of great interest to fantasy owners hoping to land a historically high-end producer at bargain prices come draft day.

As for the Jets?

They drafted a pair of wide receivers -- ArDarius Stewart and Chad Hansen -- in April. As Profootballtalk.com kindly noted, they’ll join Quincy Enunwa, Robby Anderson and Charone Peake in a very young receiving group to go with an unappealing quarterback situation.
