4 Fantasy Football Splits That Matter for Week 15
With Aaron Rodgers set to return in Week 15, how does our view of the Green Bay Packers' passing offense change for fantasy football?

Two Packers Are Expected to Return This Week

Jordy Nelson hasn't been out the past two months like Aaron Rodgers has, but the former has certainly seen his market share plummet immensely with Brett Hundley under center. While Davante Adams has thrived with a 28% target share and an average of 14.78 fantasy points in Hundley's seven starts, Nelson has seen only an 18% share and an average of 2.18 fantasy points.

Rodgers, however, is expected to start, which should immediately return Nelson to fantasy relevancy. Nelson averaged only 3.8 catches for 46 yards in Rodgers' first five starts but notably recorded seven red-zone targets and a team-high five red-zone touchdowns (four of which came inside the 10-yard line) in those contests.

A whopping allowed 44% of the fantasy points the Carolina Panthers have allowed this year has been to wide receivers, the highest mark in the league. With Carolina averaging an additional 2.4 plays per game at home, this matchup has shootout potential (and higher volume) for all skill players involved.
