OAK WR Jordy Nelson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Los Angeles Rams

It's time for another Jon Gruden era. This one starts with the Raiders having a bottom-half implied team total in Vegas for Week 1. Jordy Nelson will face a stingy defense that added Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib at corner to a defense that was already above average in aFPA to WRs last season before those big-name additions. Nelson's poor play last year and a tough matchup make him nothing more than a FLEX consideration for Week 1. It's likely touchdown or bust for him.

OAK WR Jordy Nelson - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Jordy Nelson disappointed in Green Bay last season after Aaron Rodgers went down with a season-ending injury, but he walks into an offense with a lot of targets left up for grabs with the departure of Michael Crabtree. If Nelson can play well enough to earn those 100+ targets, he could easily return to fantasy relevance.

Fantasy Downside

Nelson is entering his age-33 season. The production of receivers who change teams tends to decline unless the player is getting an upgrade at quarterback. Nelson is likely to see a decrease in targets and will definitely see a downgrade at quarterback.

2018 Bottom Line

Many reports out of Oakland do not expect the Raiders under Jon Gruden to be pass-heavy this season. Nelson is being drafted in the ninth round. According to our rankings, there are better options among receivers at that point in drafts.

GB WR Jordy Nelson - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Even the return of Aaron Rodgers last week couldn't help Jordy Nelson, who had just 3 catches for 28 yards. That's been his typical line basically since Week 7. There's no real reason to think that's going to suddenly change with a tough matchup against the Vikings this week. Nelson is a FLEX play and nothing els—and not a good one at that.

GB WR Jordy Nelson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Carolina Panthers

Jordy Nelson owners can celebrate the return of Aaron Rodgers. After weeks of not being a fantasy facto—including 4 catches for 33 yards last week—Nelson should go back to being a regular scoring threat and should be once again viewed as a WR2 moving forward.

GB WR Jordy Nelson - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Cleveland Browns

Jordy Nelson has been nothing if not consistent with Brett Hundley. Unfortunately, the consistent level of production has not been good. While he had a five-game high of 5 receptions, they went for just 17 yards. Nelson's production level shouldn't give you any faith in him having any kind of a breakout game. He should not be in your lineup. Hope is not a plan.

GB WR Jordy Nelson - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Jordy Nelson had just 3 catches for 11 yards last week and it's now clear he is entirely dependent upon Aaron Rodgers being in the lineup. There's always the chance of a touchdown, especially against Tampa's defense, but at this point, it's tough to recommend Nelson as anything more than an emergency FLEX option.

GB WR Jordy Nelson - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Jordy Nelson's days as a fantasy stud are well behind us now. He had just 2 catches for 24 yards last week, giving him 10 receptions in the past four games with no more than 35 yards in any of them. If that sounds promising to you, go ahead and start him. But at this point, he's not even a FLEX play consideration.
