ImNotSoIgnorant Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 So I'm starting to think about Nelson as a WR3/Flex. He has 5 touch downs, but his yards are WR3/Flex numbers. Rodgers has not been playing great. Possibly receivers consistently not getting open? Take out the Detroit game and he's pedestrian. Particularly with how Green Bay is having success this game with Ty Montgomery and to a limited degree Randall Cobb. Without Lacy and if they continue their play style to rotate WRs and RBs in the backfield Nelson's numbers will continue to be mediocre. Am I wrong?

Montana is da Man Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I had an opportunity to trade Nelson 2 weeks ago and I didn't. I'm kicking myself for it. He looks slow, he never gets open and he has the dropsies. I hope he has one more big game so I can dump him in a trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pun Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) full disclosure: i own nelson in 3 of my 4 leagues so i may be trying to talk myself into this, but... even though the packers have had a fairly easy schedule thus far, if you look at the defensive matchups, they haven't been favorable to nelson: -tracy porter's been keyed in on him tonight and i haven't seen much safety help on the other side of the field -dallas defense does this to #1 WRs every game, kinda like the pats. look at the stats of odell, djax/garcon, alshon, and aj green when they played dallas -janoris jenkins shadowed nelson week 5 iirc -darius slay week 3 -vikings week 2 of course -and the jags, maybe there's no good argument here but 1 out of 5, whatever i think teams have gameplanned to stop nelson because adams and cobb were so awful last year, so they think, as long as we stop nelson, we'll stop this offense. and the packers recognize this and just don't bother throwing to him because adams is so wide open. at least he's on the field, if there were actually an issue with him i don't think they'd keep him on the field. if they continue to prove they can win games with adams and cobb, eventually teams will stop putting extra resources on nelson, and then that'll open up more targets for him. any other amateur analysts agree?

BrockStaysHigh Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'd say Nelson n davante are going to switch off being the #1 wr with one going off n the other being quite and vice versa. I think the most consistent wr on the pack is now Cobb. He's had 3 great weeks in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 not gonna lie, I'm worried about him. With Dez on the mend, I needed him big these last few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 It will be an offense that goes to what is given them...to the tune of three guys getting 10+ catches last night. It would be concerning that he got off to a hot start and then has shown very little. Lots of mouths to feed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
