Jordy Nelson "unlikely" to play Week 8

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Packers WR Jordy Nelson (hamstring) is "unlikely" to play against the Jaguars today.  The team still plans on testing that hammy out in pregame warmups, but they really have no need to throw Nelson out there at less than 100% in an easily winnable game.  We'll update his official status around noon ET, but Nelson shouldn't be in fantasy lineups at this point. His absence will mean a bump in targets for James Jones and Randall Cobb, who are both high-end WR2s today.  WR Donald Driver also figures to play a bigger role, but he's just an emergency fantasy option.
