I’d like to use this space as an obituary for Jordy Nelson’s fantasy value. A true fantasy stud through the first five weeks of the season akin to his 2016 self, Nelson has descended into fantasy irrelevancy and doesn’t even make the top 50 this week. Paired with an overmatched quarterback and the second option on a bad team with a terrible offense, Nelson probably shouldn’t even be on rosters at this point.
I’d also like to use some words on Sammy Watkins, who I believe will have a resurgence this week. With impressive Robert Woods out a while, Watkins will step into a more voluminous role. His first test will be against a New Orleans Saints secondary that could be missing their top two cornerbacks, Marshon Lattimore and Ken Crawley. The stars are aligning for Sammy.
