He is viable under a few conditions:

First, your teammates need to understand you won't gank much at the beginning. While you should gank if there's a perfect opportunity for it, especially as you get closer to a 100 Q stacks, your first priority is farm. Unfortunately many people expect junglers to win their lanes for them, so Nasus is a risky pick if his teammates can't win on their own.

Second, you should not pick him against aggressive junglers. If the enemy team has someone like Xin Zhao or Lee Sin, it would be better if you picked someone stronger than Nasus (which is pretty much everyone). Even if you protect yourself and don't get counterjungled, the enemy jungler will make sure to gank lanes constantly and utterly annihilate your teammates, ending the match long before you have the chance to reach your godly late game.
