Chris Mangano profiles wide receiver Jordy Nelson as a draft sleeper for the 2018 NFL season.
- BALLER MOVE: Target ~105
CURRENT ADP: ~110
ANALYSIS: Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson is another receiver that was crushed by poor quarterback play a year ago. Through the first four games, it was business as usual as he had 19 catches and six touchdowns. However, then Aaron Rodgers went down and the wheels fell off. Brett Hundley had trouble getting Nelson the ball and the two never seemed to develop a connection.
Nelson finished with his worst season in five years and was cut by the team in the offseason. He quickly landed with the Raiders, however, and his fantasy outlook is looking up. With the departure of Michael Crabtree, and Martavis Bryant seemingly lost, Nelson should slot in as the team’s number two receiver. While the days of double-digit touchdowns are likely behind him, Nelson still has plenty to offer. Grab him on the cheap if you can.
