3 Daily Fantasy Football Players to Avoid in Week 13
Jordy Nelson, WR, Green Bay Packers
FanDuel Price: $6,400
DraftKings Price: $4,400
Since the Aaron Rodgers injury, no one has seen his value plummet further than Jordy Nelson.
While Davante Adams has thrived with Brett Hundley under center, Nelson has practically been invisible, failing to crack double-digit fantasy points on either site in the five games Hundley has started. Over that span he's averaged just 5.2 targets a game, and totaled 103 receiving yards.
But most notably, he hasn't scored any touchdowns, a hallmark of his mind-meld connection with Rodgers. Although touchdowns are a near-impossible thing to predict week-to-week, Nelson's ability to consistently find the end zone with Rodgers has been always been a huge part of his fantasy value. That has evaporated completely.
Even at his low price on both sites, and an excellent matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there isn't enough volume here to suggest a turnaround is coming for Nelson.
