People think hes a fluke cuz hes white. Maybe the TDs are a fluke but dude is a stud. id rather have him than Jennings

Or: People think he's not going to go 1200/15 again because he only had 96 targets on the year, and scored 5 TDs on 26 targets in the 3 games Jennings missed. Will he have a good season? Very, very likely. Will he do anything close to that again, especially if Jennings doesn't miss any time? Not so much, especially if he still only sees about 5 targets/game.

i would have to dig up the post about james starks, but the packers favored the pass within the 10 yards. is it a fluke that he is targeted a lot within the 10? with their rb's i dont think so. first defenses will have to respect the fact rodgers can run it in, then theres jennings, finley, and then jordy. jordy is a mismatch against anyone who is defending him.ETA: after checking he didnt really focus on nelson, but may have favored jennings slightly, but here are the #'s i found in the james starks breakout thread

I dont know if i counted right but here is the breakdown i came up with from 10 yds and in:74 total plays, 50 passes (67.56%), 11 rb rushes (14.86%)50 pasess6 runs by QB6 runs by kuhn11 runs by RB1 run BJ Raji

Any current thoughts or updated projections for Nelson?

I didn't expect a repeat of last year's numbers, but this is ridiculous.

Chillax. Weeks 4-14 offer a plethora of easier passing defenses. It's gonna get started next week with New Orleans visiting Lambeau. He's still gonna finish with 10 TDs.
