Jordy Nelson catches TD in Week 17 fantasy return
Jordy Nelson had three receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown during the Packers’ loss to the Vikings on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Nelson had missed three straight games entering Week 17 due to a hamstring injury. He was immediately able to return to his usual ways as a deep threat, however. On the season, Nelson is averaging over 15 yards per reception.
Fantasy Impact: Nelson struggled with injuries at times, but he was a solid WR2 with tremendous upside in standard fantasy leagues this season. Aaron Rodgers is a threat to put up video game-type numbers on any given Sunday, and Nelson should continue to benefit as long as he is in Green Bay.
