With the absence of David Johnson, John Brown and Jermaine Gresham, the Arizona Cardinals were looking for any help that they could get on offense. J.J. Nelson put the Cards on the highway to help during their narrow overtime victory against the Indianapolis Colts.

Nelson led the Cardinals in receiving with 5 catches for 120 yards and a touchdown. Nelson also scored a touchdown in Week 1.

In 2016, Nelson made the most of his receptions, scoring 6 touchdowns on just 34 catches. He also added a rushing touchdown.

With Brown fighting health issues throughout 2016 and now in 2017, Nelson should continue to see the field in an offense that loves to throw the deep ball. Nelson is worth picking up in all leagues.
