Nelson (undisclosed) has been announced as East Carolina's starter for Saturday's game against SMU, Sammy Batten of the Fayetteville Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Nelson's status heading into Saturday had been murky due to a number of lingering injuries. However, it has since been determined that he'll be able to give it a go Saturday against the Mustangs. He'll be facing an opportunistic SMU defense that has picked off 14 passes this season.

2013 Fantasy Outlook
Nelson started the final seven games of the 2012 season as a true freshman for the Gophers. His low competition percentage (48.7) speaks not only to his lack of effectiveness but to the lack of depth the Gophers have at receiver. The Gophers are looking for Nelson to be the team leader in 2013, but in order to lead them anywhere he will have to improve upon his eight-to-eight touchdown-to-interception ratio.
