EDGE Analysis

Nelson hasn't missed a defensive snap this season, as he's recorded 21 tackles and two pass breakups in five games. He's been a strong part of the Steelers' secondary, but Mike Hilton and Artie Burns are both on standby for usage increases in case Nelson can't go Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson has been a starter in the Chiefs' secondary for three seasons, but the team that drafted him in 2015 wasn't willing to fork up the cash to keep him around. He figures to battle Coty Sensabaugh to start opposite Joe Haden in the Steelers secondary.

Nelson had four tackles (three solo) and an interception in Thursday's loss to the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson totaled three passes defensed but ultimately the Chiefs secondary couldn't contain Mike Williams, as he scored the touchdown and two-point conversion to win the game for the Chargers. Nelson has 57 total tackles and four interceptions through 14 games.

Nelson tallied three pass-breakups and one interception during Sunday's victory over the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

If Nelson keeps playing like this, he could garner quite a few Pro Bowl votes at season's end. Usually holding down the right side of the field, Nelson was rarely tested by Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen and when he did see a pass come his way, Nelson usually made a play on it -- bringing his season-long allowed passer rating to 59.0, per Pro Football Focus, which is the second-lowest of all defensive backs. Since no receivers really caught a ball in his coverage, Nelson's goose egg in the tackle column can't be seen as a bad thing from a real-life perspective. However, it does affect his fantasy production, so don't expect much from Nelson as an IDP prospect.
