Three receptions in win Nailor had three receptions for 30 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Washington.

Impact Nailor didn't have a reception and just one target each game the prior two weeks amid Minnesota's struggles in the passing game. With J. J. McCarthy showing signs of being a credible passer in the win, Nailor could get back to seeing three to five targets a game like earlier in the season. However, he's prone to low output games when the offense struggles, considering Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson draw the bulk of the targets.

No receptions in loss Nailor did not have a catch on his lone target in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.

Impact Nailor played on 20 of the offense's 44 snaps, which was a little lower than his usual participation rate. However, it's hard to read too much into his performance given the historically inept performance of J.J. McCarthy (87 yards passing, two interceptions and 17.9 QBR). Nailor and the passing game have another tough matchup next week at Seattle. It's hard to envision any Minnesota receivers having fantasy relevance if McCarthy continues to struggle like his last two games.

Just one reception in loss Nailor had one reception for 16 yards on his only target in Sunday's loss to Chicago.

Impact A week after a career-best performance (five receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown), Nailor wasn't a big factor as Minnesota's passing game struggled due to quarterback. J.J. McCarthy's inaccuracy. Nailor played on 33 of the offense's 55 snaps, so he was getting his usual workload. However, he's prone to low output games when the offense struggles, considering Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson draw the bulk of the targets.

Career-best performance Nailor recorded five receptions on six targets for 124 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Nailor made nearly all of his impact early and late in the game. He beat Marlon Humphrey deep down the field on the sixth play from scrimmage and then managed to turn upfield for a 62-yard gain that came just short of a touchdown. Nailor then came up big during Minnesota's rally late in the game, as he hauled in another deep pass for a 28-yard gain before making an impressive acrobatic 10-yard touchdown catch four plays later. This marked the first time that Nailor has reached 100 receiving yards in his career and also matched his career-high of five receptions.
