J.J.Nelson-going forward. (1 Viewer)

[Dizzy]

FWIW - Stefania (sp?) Bell on FFN expects JJ to play. I'm plugging him in over Diggs as I am kind of in a "swing for the fences" mode after facing Gurley Thursday night.

 

[heckmanm]

if you want/need to play him it probably makes sense to get Jaron Brown if he is on the wire...don't need to get the last second goose egg...

Noticed he was on the wire in my league and grabbed him.  Good tip.

Oh dear.

 

[Dizzy]

Oh dear.

Yes... and of course Diggs sitting on my bench with 34 pts, and I am down by 31. The hurt hasn't totally sunk in yet.

 

[Don't Noonan]

I assume he is playing tonight?

 

[Kwai Chang Caine]

He's active.

 

[nordstrom24]

Jermaine Gresham (ribs) is also active.  Nelson was limited all week in practice but is ready to roll as the No. 2 receiver with John Brown (quad) still out.

I was going to do this if Nelson turned in a full practice at any point last week. Don't feel bad, it's not crazy.

 

[C-Bound]

Played Diggs but also playing Nelson over Watkins...such is the life.

 

[heckmanm]

And Jaron with the first TD, on my bench

 

[jbird]

He must not be right.  I don't believe he was on the field in a 5 WR set in the red zone.

 

[rickyg]

In my flex goose egging me over diggs.  Yay!

 

[Widbil83]

Started him over Sammy and just need a few bones!  Hopefully 2nd half they work him in.

 

[JAMES!]

Has he been on field at all?

 

[Tool]

Well i played him mostly b/c my only other option was Sterling Shepherd who did nothing in week 2 and there's no way he would score any points.

 

[fruity pebbles]

Has he been on field at all?

He had one target I saw

 

[C-Bound]

Petition to change this thread name to: "J.J Nelson going backward"

 

[icehouse]

Dud tonight. Y'all holding? Next week is a nice matchup, but so was this one. 

 

[ldizzle]

I hardly saw him out there. Going to have to check the splits. Saw Golden and Brown A LOT more. Especially in the redzone

He was hobbled with a hamstring, so that could be a big part of the problem.  I'll have to look to see how many snaps he played. I think he had 3 targets, but it seemed like he was hardly on the field when I was looking for him in-game

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

Damn.

 

[grateful zed]

added jaron

dropping jj

he is just not getting the snaps.

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

With Jaron coming on and John Brown playing at the moment, JJ is far from an essential hold.

 

[C-Bound]

Dropped him for Bills D.

 

[The Frankman]

Just wanted to update now with Antonio Brown going mental, the Raiders official depth chart lists J.J. Nelson as the WR1 playing the X position. At the very least, he's playing a ton of starting snaps in a hybrid gadget role.

 

[Casting Couch]

He will be getting snaps for sure, but.... meh

 

[Chaka]

It's difficult to be inspired by JJ but he's going.to get a shot. It's not like he's been fighting for reps because AB never practiced.

yeah. Like, I won't advise anyone to pick him up but... he's a speedy guy in a hybrid gagdet role who will get like starter snaps... maybe a super Jakeem Grant.

 

[Chaka]

FWIW I opted to pick up Tyrell Williams over JJ.
