Jordy Nelson Is Averaging an NFL-High 20.36 FanDuel Points Over His Past 5 Games

Over the past five games, Jordy Nelson has averaged 23.84% more FanDuel points than his season average.

In that span, he has averaged at least 2 more FanDuel points per game than any other player, and hasn't been held under 13 FanDuel points. Nelson has racked up either 90 yards or a touchdown in each of those games.

His 154 receiving yards and 31.90 FanDuel points in Week 16 are both new season highs, and it was his third game with multiple touchdown receptions.

Nelson now ranks second among all receivers with 246.60 total FanDuel points, trailing only Antonio Brown. He is averaging 0.9 less FanDuel points per game compared to his 2014 season, but this year's performance is very impressive considering he missed all of 2015 due to injury.

The pass-catcher will get a rematch with the Detroit Lions this weekend, who allowed him to catch 6 passes for 101 yards and 2 touchdowns in Week 3.
