Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson has been listed as probable for Sunday's game with the Detroit Lions. Nelson missed Week 8 because of a hamstring injury and was knocked out of the game early in Week 9 because of an injured ankle. The Packers had a bye in Week 10 and Nelson has participated in practice this week.
Jordy Nelson probable for Week 11: Fantasy implications
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson (ankle) is listed as probable for Week 11. We break down the fantasy implications.
Benny Sieu-US PRESSWIRE
Nelson's return again gives Green Bay its top three receivers for the season, along with Randall Cobb and James Jones. Greg Jennings (hernia) has been ruled out again this week.
Fantasy Impact: There has been little concern this week about whether Nelson would play. He has been at least limited in practice every day this week and coach Mike McCarthy has said that Nelson was looking like his normal self.
Nelson is a No. 1/2 fantasy wide receiver this week, as is Cobb. Jones should be considered a solid No. 2 fantasy option at wide receiver for Week 11.
