2025 Fantasy Outlook

Signed a three-year, $60 million contract with the Lions in July of 2024.
Questionable with shoulder issue
Decker (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker has been playing through a shoulder injury for most of the season and missed a pair of games earlier in the campaign. While he has been able to suit up for most games, he didn't practice at all during the week. Given that, Decker appears to be in serious danger of missing the Lions' Week 15 contest.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Considering retirement after 2025
Decker isn't sure whether he'll return to the Lions in 2026 or retire, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The left tackle has been with Detroit since being the 16th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft and was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2024, but injuries are beginning to pile up, and he's had multiple surgeries during his career. One more procedure on his chronically sore shoulder might be enough to convince him to hang up his cleats, although his current contract runs through 2027. The Lions lost long-time center Frank Ragnow to retirement last offseason, and Decker could be the next member of the team's offensive line to walk away from the game.
