2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 2022 sixth-round pick, Nailor has run just 77 routes through two seasons but has made the most of his limited opportunities with 12 catches for 208 yards and a touchdown on 19 targets. Hamstring and head injuries limited him to six games last year, and he took 67 of his 94 offensive snaps for the season during a Week 10 win over New Orleans. He'll compete with Brandon Powell and Trent Sherfield for the third receiver role in training camp. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Productive in loss to Detroit
Nailor secured three of four targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 31-9 loss at Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Nailor stepped up his production during Minnesota's final two regular-season games, a span in which he combined for an 8-134-1 receiving line on nine targets. The 2022 sixth-round pick also had a hot start to the season, but from Week 8 to Week 16 he totaled just 67 yards on offense, albeit with two scores. Across 17 regular-season games, Nailor tallied 28 catches for 414 yards and six touchdowns on 42 targets. Nailor will work to remain productive behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison during Monday's road wild-card matchup against the Rams.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee returned to his old role for the start of the playoffs and came out on fire, only to suffer an injury that leaves him uncertain for the next round. RW's Jerry Donabedian has the scoop.
Justin Jefferson is the better player, but Puka Nacua was targeted on 23.0 percent of his snaps in 2024 while Jefferson was targeted on only 15.7 percent of his.
The Texans insist on playing safeties in the slot, which might be a way of asking for trouble from Ladd McConkey.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will be WR2 again
Nailor will be the No. 2 wideout behind Justin Jefferson for Sunday's game against the Texans after Jordan Addison was ruled out due to an ankle injury, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Addison out for a second straight week due to an ankle injury, Nailor will once again step into a larger role in the Vikings' offense. Nailor has caught a touchdown pass in each of the first two games of the regular season, and in Minnesota's Week 2 win over San Francisco, he registered three catches on four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown. Nailor should continue to see more open space in the passing game while the Texans' secondary hones in on Jefferson.
