Scouting report

OAK WR Jordy Nelson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at San Francisco 49ers (Thursday)

Here's how the targets played out in Oakland's first game without Amari Cooper: Jalen Richard 8, Jared Cook 5, Jordy Nelson 4, Seth Roberts 4, Brandon LaFell 4, Doug Martin 2, Keith Smith 1. Feels like Washington West, huh? Derek Carr, like Alex Smith, did not heavily target his receivers. Nelson is clearly the best option among wideouts in this offense with a decent match-up this week, but without reliable target volume, he's more a dart throw FLEX play in Week 9, hoping for a touchdown.

OAK WR Jordy Nelson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Indianapolis Colts

It's hard to know what to expect from the Raiders receivers now in terms of fantasy production with Amari Cooper traded. Jordy Nelson should see an increase in volume, but he may also draw top cornerbacks in coverage now too. The Colts are just 25th in aFPA to WRs this season, but with an implied team total that's only middle of the pack in Week 8, this is a definite gamble to count on Nelson as a WR3/FLEX in Week 8.

OAK WR Jordy Nelson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Seattle Seahawks (London)

Jordy Nelson has scored in three consecutive weeks and faces a Seattle defense in London that is just 27th in aFPA to WRs. His red zone usage is promising, but his overall target totals can not be relied upon for consistency. In three of five games this year, Nelson has only seen four targets. He's a dart throw in Week 6, hoping for another touchdown, but you should look for a more reliable option, if available.

OAK WR Jordy Nelson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Los Angeles Chargers

This game has the second-highest over/under of Sunday and Monday's games, but which Jordy Nelson will show up this week? The one with eight targets per game from the past two weeks or the afterthought of the offense in Weeks 1 and 2? The Chargers do rank just 30th in aFPA to WRs this season. So there's a path to fantasy production for Nelson if you're in a deep league, but for most re-draft leagues, he still belongs on your bench. His red zone usage is promising though for potential starting consideration in future weeks (four RZ targets, two touchdowns).

OAK WR Jordy Nelson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Cleveland Browns

Jordy Nelson exploded last week after poor performances the first two weeks. But his opponent this week, Cleveland, ranks fourth in aFPA to WRs, illustrating this matchup is closer to what Nelson faced the first two weeks of the season, as opposed to Miami's beatable secondary last week. Nelson needs to show us weekly consistency in targets before considering him for lineups in redraft leagues.

OAK WR Jordy Nelson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Miami Dolphins

The Raiders have the dreaded cross-country, early eastern time zone kickoff Sunday in Miami. Las Vegas has taken note, too, as the Raiders have a low 20.5-point implied team total. Jordy Nelson only has eight targets and 53 yards on the season. The Dolphins are sixth in PPR points allowed to WRs. Getting the picture? Nelson is not a starter for your team in Week 3.

OAK WR Jordy Nelson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Denver Broncos

The Broncos were top-five last season in aFPA to WRs. Denver also held Seahawks WRs to just seven receptions last week. Jordy Nelson only saw four targets in his debut and gets another negative matchup. The Raiders have an implied team total under 20 points, which is very low by Vegas standards. All signs point to benching Jordy.
