Fantasy Impact:
Although Nelson missed Friday's practice, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport believes the wideout's availability for Sunday's NFC Championship Game at Atlanta "sounds relatively optimistic." Nelson missed Friday's session due to a flu-like illness that has plagued Green Bay's locker room, and not because of his fractured ribs. Packers head coach Mike McCarthy told the media Friday that Nelson practiced "more than anticipated" Thursday, which is a step in the right direction for Green Bay's top receiving threat. Barring a setback, it appears that Nelson will try to play Sunday.
