Not under the FB ship design rules; it is much cheaper to tow the decoys

using FTL tug drives or make them FTL-capable in their own right (which 
also allows them to serve as couriers).

Using banzai jammers (BJs) is a common anti-missile tactic and works
well 
against fleets which rely too heavily on their missiles, but in my 
experience FSE forces usually have enough beam batteries to destroy a
large 
portion of the BJs with medium-range beam fire before launching
missiles. 
Decoys with a single damage box (eg. TMF 2 ones, or FTL-capable TMF 3)
are 
very easy to destroy in this way, since even a single beam die has a 50%

chance of destroying them.
