Jordy Nelson, WR, Green Bay Packers

FanDuel Price: $8,200
Projected Points: 15.2

Over the past five games, Jordy Nelson has averaged at least two more points per game than any other wide receiver. With his 31.9 FanDuel points in Week 16, he has now recorded double-digit FanDuel points in nine straight games.

I explained earlier how good of a spot Aaron Rodgers is in this week, and Nelson has led the way with 30.86% of Rodgers' targets over the past five games. During that span, only Odell Beckham has seen a higher percentage of his team's targets than Nelson has. On the season as a whole, Nelson's 9.7 targets per game is tied for the third-most of any wide receiver.

In his first matchup against the Lions this season, Nelson caught 6 passes for 101 yards and 2 touchdowns for his second-best FanDuel score (25.1 points) of the season. Coming into this game, the Lions have given up five total receiving touchdowns to opposing wide receivers of their past two games, and Nelson is primed to continue his current hot streak.
