Wide receiver
Though it wasn’t the best week in actual football outcomes, wide receivers Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb actually managed to have decent games in the fantasy realm against Seattle.
With Jarrett Boykin lined up against Richard Sherman all game, Nelson and Cobb had a half of field to run against the weaker options in the secondary and each had decent days.
In the matchup with the Jets, it should be an easier time for everyone involved. The secondary is a major weak spot and can be exploited by the skills each player brings to the table.
Look for each receiver to make a significant contribution in helping Rodgers attack the Jets all over the field.
Verdict: Start all three top receivers
Predictions:
Nelson – 70+ yards, 1 TD
Cobb – 100 + yards
Boykin – 50+ yards, 1 TD
