He isnt a #1 in the AJ Green, Dez Bryant mold but he is passable and has a fairly rounded game. He is pretty much a Donald Driver level #1 WR
I like Decker, but I have to agree that on the Jets he could not be a number 1 receiver. I wrote more about that here http://fantasyknuckleheads.com/?p=63196. Decker doesn't get great separation but his other skill sets are elite. With an accurate quarterback like Manning he is outstanding. Vick has a great arm but is not particularly accurate. I think that Decker needs another elite option around him to be completely effective but we'll see how the season goes.
