FanDuel Wide Receiver Analysis: NFL Week 17

Jordy Nelson continued his tremendous campaign with 9-154-2 line last week against the Vikings as the Packers moved one step closer to actually "running the table" following Aaron Rodgers' prediction six weeks ago. Mike Evans came through with a 7-97-1 line to make up for a few down weeks, and Brandin Cooks managed 98 yards for a solid floor. The Texans offense was awful, and DeAndre Hopkins saw just six targets, catching three for 43 yards. Michael Crabtree went 7-90 and Tyler Lockett managed 2-38 prior to suffering a serious leg injury that landed him on the IR this week. Let's finish the season with some top plays for Week 17:

Cash Game Wide Receivers

One final time, Nelson locks in as the top option on the week. He has now totaled 21.8, 19.1, 15.9, and 31.9 FanDuel points over his last four games, and went 6-125-2 against these Lions earlier this season. This game has enormous playoff implications for both teams, and with Antonio Brown unlikely to play much, if at all, Nelson is an even easier choice as top option. Aaron Rodgers has looked his way at least 10 times in six of the last eight games, and this week should be no exception. The Lions are allowing the highest passer rating in the NFL to opposing QBs this season at 105.0, and Aaron Rodgers has been nothing short of tremendous during the Packers' five-game winning streak. Continue to ride the Nelson train as we come to the end of the season.
