Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson is slated to participate in his first practice on Monday since tearing his ACL nearly a full year ago. He and Aaron Rodgers have a plan in place to rebuild the rapport that helped each player rise to stardom, according to head Coach Mike McCarthy. Aaron Rodgers surely missed one of his top targets in 2015 and will be excited for his return.

Nelson will have three full weeks of practice to prepare himself for the Packers’ regular season opener when they pay a visit to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Focusing primarily on individual drills to start, Nelson will be focusing more on technique and footwork to get himself back into game shape.
Fantasy Analysis: With three weeks to prepare for the start of the regular season and having one of the best quarterbacks in the league, Jordy Nelson should be a solid option as an early-season WR2 or Flex with increased potential as his connection with Aaron Rodgers begins to resurface.
