Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
Decker re-signed with the Lions in July ahead of what will be his ninth campaign with the team, operating as their starting left tackle in 2024.
Decker spent a chunk of the offseason rehabbing a foot injury he picked up in the 2022 season finale, but the Ohio State product had no issues entering training camp and is expected to help anchor a potentially-elite Lions offensive line.
It was fun to see Decker snag his second career touchdown last January, but receiving cameos will continue to be a side gig for the stud left tackle.
Decker is coming off arguably his best season as a pro and remains locked in as the Lions' starting left tackle.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be cut candidate
OTDetroit Lions
January 6, 2026
The Lions might cut Decker this offseason if he doesn't retire, Aaron Schatz of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker has been a fixture along the Detroit offensive line and has been a prominent figure in the team's resurgence the last few seasons. However, he's missed multiple games in each of the last three campaigns, and cutting him this offseason would carry a dead cap hit of only $9.4 million. It's difficult to imagine the Lions voluntarily parting ways with Decker, but this could be an offseason of transition for the team after a disappointing 2025.
