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
Two receptions in loss
Nailor had two receptions for 16 yards on four targets in Thursday's loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Nailor was second on the team in targets and played on 21 of the offense's 50 snaps. He's stayed involved in moving to the third receiver role, but his role also could be reduced if T.J. Hockenson is able to return from a knee injury in a Week 9 matchup against the Colts.

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.
