Jordy Nelson

2016 Fantasy Outlook
A torn ACL in the Packers preseason opener cost Nelson the entire season and crippled the fantasy production of pretty much the rest of the Green Bay lineup. He should be fine to go this season and Aaron Rodgers will make good use of Nelson. Remember, this is a guy who saw 151 targets in 2014. Nelson is now 31, so there is some danger he'll suffer a drop off, but he should be highly motivated after missing all of last season. Yes, he opened camp on the PUP list, but the Packers were always going to ease him into things. We're looking at the return of a 1,500-yard receiver who has twice reached double digits in touchdowns twice in the past four seasons he's played. He's going in the second round of most drafts and has been the eighth receiver taken. That sounds perfectly acceptable.

Jordy Nelson Playoffs vs. Seahawks
Jordy Nelson was limited to two catches for 22 yards on five targets last week by the Cowboys. But he'll get plenty of work against the Seahawks as Aaron Rodgers won't shy away from his No. 1 target in two consecutive games. The Seahawks trust their corners enough that they won't necessarily role coverage to Nelson. In the opener this year against the Hawks, Nelson was targeted 14 times, catching nine passes for 83 yards.

Jordy Nelson Week 17 vs. Lions
Jordy Nelson bounced back nicely last week with a nine-catch, 113-yard effort with a touchdown, catching all nine passes thrown his way. Detroit limited him to five receptions for 59 yards in the first meeting with the Packers but is just too good to consistently stop. He should get his usual production this week though the weather could be nasty.
