Jermichael Finley still nursing a shoulder injury: Fantasy Implications
Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley is still nursing a shoulder injury. We breakdown the fantasy implications.

In Week 8, the Packers will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Aaron Rodgers and the Pack have been hot recently, even though Finley hasn't played much of a factor.
Fantasy Analysis: Even though the injury hasn’t cost Finley time on the field, it hasn’t helped. He’s been struggling mightily to become a relevant fantasy contributor. Going into the 2012 season, Finley was to be considering among the high-end fantasy tight ends. Right now, there’s better fantasy options to be found on waivers or on your bench.
However, in Week 8, the Packers have a favorable match-up against the Jaguars. If you’re in a bind, this might be the one week Finley produces, so start him if you must.
