Jordy Nelson unproductive in blanket coverage

Jordy Nelson caught 3 of the 5 passes targeted to him for 25 yards, the longest being a 9-yard reception.

Fantasy Impact:

Nelson had a safety over the top of him at all times, effectively forcing Aaron Rodgers to look elsewhere. Although Rodgers surely could have threaded a few more balls Nelson's way, he had no reason to force it as he was still able to be successful, throwing for more than 400 yards. This proves that defenses can not sell-out to stop one part of Green Bay's offense. And if the defense doesn't step up, the offense is going to have to pick up the slack. Jordy Nelson will likely bounce back in Week 10, and should be started in all formats, per usual.
