Jordy Nelson, WR, Green Bay Packers

DraftKings Price: $8,100
Projected Points: 19.13

It's pricey, but one of the more popular plays in Week 5 might end up being a stack featuring Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson.

Our models project Nelson to score 19.13 DraftKings points, which might be his floor for his Week 5 matchup against the Cowboys. The Packers have an implied total of 25.00 points, the fourth-highest total for the Sunday main slate. If the Cowboys jump out ahead on the scoreboard, or if Green Bay's banged-up running game struggles, Nelson could see a handful of extra targets.

In 2017, Nelson leads the league in red zone receptions (six) and receiving touchdowns (five). The Cowboys have allowed opposing primary wide receiver to score 13.7 DraftKings points per game. In what's expected to be a high-scoring game, Nelson could feast on Sunday.
