Nelson could push Jones: Packers' second-round pick Jordy Nelson looks like a promising addition to a good receiving corps and might push James Jones for the No. 3 job, reports the Green Bay Press-Gazette. Jones has an invaluable year of NFL experience and showed linebacker-like strength in the weight room after his first full offseason in the team's workout program. At 6-3, Nelson is a big target with an ability to play the ball in the air and surprising long speed, so he should be an occasional contributor as a rookie. (Updated 06/23/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Jones' edge in experience could be the difference, and he has more Fantasy value than Nelson at this point. Regardless, expect both to play a lot. Consider Jones a No. 4 Fantasy option, with Nelson right behind him in deeper leagues. In rookie-only drafts, take Nelson with a middle-round selection. (Updated 06/23/2008).
