Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
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.
Nailor recorded nine receptions for 147 yards and one touchdown on 13 targets in 15 games for Minnesota during his rookie campaign in 2022. He again projects as a depth receiver for the team.
Being a 2022 sixth-round pick gives Nailor less leeway as he navigates the pro ranks, but he's shown flashes of being an NFL receiver. The main problem is his size (5-11, 186), which inhibits what otherwise is decent athleticism (4.5-second 40-yard dash, 38-inch vertical, 128-inch broad jump). However, Nailor was a good player on a Michigan State offense with another NFL wide receiver (Jayden Reed). Nailor will vie with K.J. Osborn, Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Bisi Johnson for the third and fourth receiver jobs as a rookie.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will be WR2 again
WRMinnesota Vikings
September 21, 2024
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.
