Instant Analysis: Jordy Nelson tears his ACL

By Nathan Powell

During the Packers’ second preseason game against the Steelers on Sunday, 30-year old wide receiver Jordy Nelson reportedly suffered a torn ACL (at least that’s what the initial diagnosis is as we want for the official MRI results) and is likely to miss the entire 2015 season. Heading toward the back half of his career, Nelson was already a “sell” for many youth-centric dynasty owners. Now, any sort of window to sell the veteran wide receiver is likely closed. For August ADP, Nelson was drafted at WR15. I expect his post-injury market value to settle in around the WR28-32 range, slightly higher than Brandon Marshall who is now the same age Jordy will be when he will likely return in 2016.

Nelson is signed with the Packers through the 2018 year as well. Coming back to being a top ten wide receiver after tearing an ACL at 30 years old will be a challenge, but I expect Nelson to come back in 2016 and have at least a couple more years of quality fantasy production. The big question is which one of the Packers wide receivers will be the main beneficiary of the Jordy injury, if it does indeed turn out to be a torn left ACL?

Let’s take a look.
