Packers WR Jordy Nelson a 'full go' for Week 1

Sep 05, 2016

WR Jordy Nelson won't have any restrictions when the Green Bay Packers open the regular season Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

That's what Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Monday, even though Nelson did not play a single snap in the preseason and hasn't lined up for a game since he tore the ACL in his right knee 12½ months ago.

"Jordy's full go," McCarthy said. "And we expect him to line up and be full-bore in Jacksonville."

Fantasy Impact:

Great news for owners. Perhaps only timing will be an issue now for Nelson and QB Aaron Rodgers. Nelson opened training camp on the physically unable to perform list, but not because of his right knee. He said he sustained what he called "a hiccup" with his left knee while working out before camp. Although he declined to provide specifics, it kept Nelson off the field until mid-August. He did not play, but Nelson participated in full-pad warm-ups on the field before the final three preseason games. His first full practice where he lined up in 11-on-11 drills was only one week ago.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

Adam Schefter

2 hours ago

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo plans to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite his sprained foot, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Guerendo, who is listed as questionable, insists he "feels good," sources said.

Fantasy Impact:

We're projecting Patrick Taylor as the next man up in the 49ers' version of running back roulette *if* Guerendo is forced out, as he easily has the most familiarity with the team. Abanikanda can be stashed if that's not the case, but shouldn't be in starting consideration if Guerendo does indeed miss Week 15.

Otherwise, consider the fourth-round rookie a fantasy RB2.

Rams are listing WR Demarcus Robinson (shoulder), WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder), and TE Davis Allen (shoulder) as questionable for Thursday night’s game versus the 49ers.

Related Players: Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Tutu Atwell, Tyler Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.
