Two more WRs went down yesterday in practice.
Jordy Nelson has a nerve issue in his knee and instead of playing through pain all year, decided to have surgery to fix it. The Packers are hopeful he'll be back Week 1, but I'd say this knocks him down a couple of rounds in the draft. I figured we'd see Nelson go as a WR2 in Sandwich Fest, with some decent upside considering who his QB is, but I'd think this downgrades him to a WR3, or worse.
Not coming back for Week 1 is Chargers WR Denario Alexander - who fucking KILLED The Defending Champs in the playoffs last year (27.8 pts) - because he has torn his ACL. Alexander had 3 monster games last year and is a talented but often injured WR. I was actually hoping to pick him up as a nice high upside play. Now I'll have to find someone else.
ACL Injuries are the name of the game this year
