Packers vs. Lions: Fantasy football projections featuring Jordy Nelson, Mikel LeShoure, Calvin Johnson
We break down the pertinent fantasy projections for the Week 11 matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions


Green Bay Packers
The Packers welcome back Jordy Nelson after he suffered an ankle injury in their Week 9 win over the Cardinals. He had the bye to rest up and got in three partial practices this week, listed as limited Wednesday through Friday. If he is active, as expected, his impact is as much on James Jones and Randall Cobb as it is on his own production. Jones remains the better option of the latter two, but this is a situation to monitor.
Detroit Lions
The Lions appear to be getting back on track, which means Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson are both strong options in this potential shootout. The bigger question will be in the run game. Mikel LeShoure remains the starter, but Joique Bell is developing into a fantasy pest. He is not generally worth starting, but he cuts into LeShoure enough that it's a pain. LeShoure is a solid start this week, but his value takes a modest hit from Bell's touches.
