Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb's Post-Week 13 Fantasy Reaction

The Green Bay Packers pass the ball as well as any team in the NFL, thanks to the presence of superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers and weapons like Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb.         

In Week 13, Green Bay thrived through the air at Lambeau Field amid Sunday's 26-21 victory over the New England Patriots.

Any fantasy football owners not deploying this Packers trio every week are either in the deepest leagues of all time or are on the outside looking in for the playoffs. Rodgers is arguably the best QB in the game, while Nelson and Cobb are his top go-to targets and are surefire WR1s each week.

Nelson	2	6	53	1	0	0	11
Cobb	7	11	85	0	2	8	8

This number from ESPN Stats & Info confirms that notion:   

Although Nelson had a rather quiet Week 13, one of his two catches toward the end of the first half provided the big difference in the game. He beat Patriots star cornerback Darrelle Revis on a slant route and took it to the house for a 45-yard score.

SportsCenter noted how explosive Nelson has been:

Cobb lined up in the backfield on occasion and created matchup nightmares from there and motioning into the slot. It was a creative use of tactics by the Packers to throw off the New England defense.

Opponents will continue to shade coverage over to Nelson and Cobb if possible, but that's far easier said than done with a surgeon-precise Rodgers distributing the ball. Expect them all to light it up in Week 14's Monday night matchup against a leaky Atlanta Falcons secondary.
