Packers WR Jordy Nelson 'well ahead of the curve' in ACL recovery

Jul 20, 2016

Due in part to surgical advancements and his own strong will, Packers WR Jordy Nelson appears to be well ahead of the curve in his rehabilitation. Nelson even indicated on a national radio show in January that he might have been ready to play in the Super Bowl if the Packers had qualified.

Luke Getsy, Nelson's first-year position coach, expressed no doubt whatsoever when asked in late May if Nelson would once again be an outstanding player.

Fantasy Impact:

Nelson has had three healthy seasons in his last five, and in those years he finished #2, #11 and #2 in standard wide receiver scoring. He’s currently going in the 2nd round of early fantasy drafts. If he continues to have a healthy offseason then a return to the top 5 is a real possibility.

Lions agreed to terms with former Packers’ WR Geronimo Allison.

Fantasy Impact:

The former Packer should provide depth behind Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones. Geronimo Allison is unlikely to be fantasy relevant without an injury to one of those two.

Source: Former #Titans WR Tajae Sharpe is signing with the #Vikings on 1-year deal. He’ll likely be the No. 2 alongside Adam Thielen, filling the void left by the Stefon Diggs trade.

Fantasy Impact:

With Stefon Diggs in Buffalo, Tajae Sharpe could find himself as the WR2 in Minnesota, but they will probably draft another wideout as well. The former Titan has a career line of 92-1,167-8 in 47 games (29 starts).
