2025 Fantasy Outlook
Nelson remains arguably the league's top left guard, a level of play which he's attained consistently since joining the league as a first-round pick in 2018. It's somewhat underrated how remarkable the All-Pro has been as an iron man, with just three games missed across his seven-year career (all in 2021). He'll continue to hold down the fort for whomever ultimately earns the starting QB gig in Indy this season. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $80 million contract with the Colts in September of 2022.
Cleared to play Sunday
Nelson (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Nelson was held out of practice earlier in the week with a toe injury, but it seems as if he'll play through the issue this Sunday. The All-Pro guard has been an ironman in the NFL, missing only three total games throughout his six-year career.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
New deal likely before season
Nelson is likely to finalize an extension with the Colts before the 2022 regular season begins, Joel Corry of CBS Sports posits.
ANALYSIS
It's nearly a foregone conclusion that Nelson's next contract will make him the league's highest-paid interior offensive lineman. Corry believes such a deal could come quite soon, as the Colts have little reason to drag out the process while trying to keep arguably the best player on the team in Indianapolis for years to come. Nelson's next deal could make him the highest-paid non-quarterback on the team if it surpasses the $19.7 million annual salary on Darius Leonard's contract.
