Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson continued to rise up the wide receiver fantasy charts early in the season. The receiver had a huge fantasy day Sunday in the Packers' 38-17 win over the Chicago Bears.
Jordy Nelson continues early-season hot streak for Packers, fantasy owners
The Green Bay wide receiver had his second huge game out of four to start the season. We break down the fantasy implications.

Nelson had 108 yards on 10 catches in the game. Two of those catches went for touchdowns, one on a 3-yard catch in the second quarter and one on an 11-yarder in the third. Nelson now has 459 yards and three scores through four games.
Fantasy impact: Before the season, Nelson looked like a stud receiver, going near the back of the top 10 receivers, early in the third round of drafts. So far on the season, he’s providing even better return on that investment, performing like one of the top receivers in the game. He’s an obvious WR1 going forward, and you could argue that he’s vaulted himself into that top tier. And, with at least 12 targets three times in four games, the Packers are going to keep giving him the opportunities to produce at the same level.
