Nelson caught four passes for 38 yards and a touchdown on a team-high 13 targets in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Nelson made a diving touchdown grab on the opening drive, but he later dropped a couple of passes and generally just wasn't sharp. He has still scored in every game this season, tied with Larry Fitzgerald at a league-high five touchdown receptions, even though Green Bay already had its bye week. Nelson has also impressed in terms of target share, accounting for 40 of Aaron Rodgers' 139 pass attempts (28.8 percent). However, there is some cause for concern, as Nelson has only caught 21 of his 40 targets (52.5 percent), also posting a lousy mark in yards per target (6.1), a statistic he has traditionally dominated. Regardless, the heavy volume and red-zone usage make him a highly valuable commodity, even though he doesn't quite look like the same dominant player that he was pre-surgery. The Packers have a Week 6 home date with the Cowboys.

Give some blame to Rogers and the O-line too.
