Week 9: Game Time Decisions - Injury Update
WR Jordy Nelson, ---
FANTASY PROFILE / STATS & MORE
The 5th year WR from Kansas State remained in street clothes during week 8 after he was unable to get his hamstring right during pregame warm-ups. The Packers passing game struggled against the Jaguars, but escaped with a win with James Jones and Randall Cobb getting the start. Through 7 games, Nelson is averaging 76 YPG and has hauled in five touchdowns. He's fully expected to suit up for the week 9 matchup with an Arizona defense that has been stout against the pass ranking 4th in yardage allowed (193 YPG). Nelson remains a no brainer if he's in uniform, despite a potential showdown with CB Patrick Peterson (allowed 2 TDs to Michael Crabtree on Monday night).
TE Coby Fleener, ---
FANTASY PROFILE / STATS & MORE
Andrew Luck's Stanford teammate suffered a shoulder injury during the week 8 win over the Titans and missed the majority of the 2nd half. Fellow rookie Dwayne Allen filled in and finished with 4 catches for 56 yards. Fleener's MRI revealed a partial dislocation of his left shoulder that will keep him sidelined for at least two weeks. He remains off the fantasy radar while averaging just 32 YPG through 7 games and has yet to find the end zone during his rookie season.
