Jalen Nailor - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Three receptions in win Nailor had three receptions for 27 yards on four targets and one carry for 15 yards in Sunday's win over Cleveland in London.

Impact Nailor started opposite Justin Jefferson with Jordan Addison benched the first quarter for disciplinary reasons. It didn't result in a significant increase in playing time as Nailor played on 42 of the offense's 65 snaps, about the same percentage as last week. Nailor will continue to operate as the No. 3 receiver when the Vikings face the Eagles in Week 7 after a bye.

Catches TD in loss in Dublin Nailor had one reception for a two-yard touchdown on four targets in Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh in Dublin.

Impact Nailor played on 48 of the offense's 76 snaps as he moved into the third-receiver role with Jordan Addison back from a three-game suspension. Addison started opposite Justin Jefferson and played 73 snaps. Nailor was clearly ahead of Adam Thielen, who played 12 snaps on offense as the fourth receiver. Nailor's role will shrink with Addison back in the fold, but it still looks like he'll get significant playing time.

Three receptions in win Nailor had three receptions for 37 yards on five targets in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Impact Nailor stayed active in the passing game after Carson Wentz took over at quarterback as the two appeared to have a good rapport. Nailor will move to the No. 3 wide receiver role next week with the return of Jordan Addison from a suspension, which could reduce his workload and targets.

Finishes second in receiving Sunday Nailor had three receptions on five targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Falcons.

Impact Nailor wound up finishing second behind star wideout Justin Jefferson (3-81-0) in both targets and receiving yards Sunday. The 26-year-old Nailor could have had a much bigger fantasy night had QB J.J. McCarthy not airmailed his target on what would have been a lengthy touchdown grab. Nailor will see an elevated role for one more game against the Bengals next Sunday before Jordan Addison returns from suspension in Week 4 to reclaim his starting role.

Just one reception but starts at WR Nailor had one reception for 28 yards on three targets in Monday's win at Chicago.

Impact While Nailor had just one catch, there were some positives for his fantasy value. He played despite suffering a hand injury that sidelined late in August and had his status for the start of the season in question. Nailor also started at wide receiver opposite Justin Jefferson over Adam Thielen and had more opportunities (Thielen had one target). Nailor also played on 49 of the offense's 56 snaps, compared to 32 for Thielen. It was thought Thielen may step in to the No. 2 WR role after his trade from Carolina and with Nailor's hand injury during training camp. However, Nailor may have just two more games with a prominent role given Jordan Addison will return from a three-game suspension.

Impact Nailor suffered a hand injury in practice Aug. 14 and was sidelined until getting back on the field for Wednesday's unofficial session. With no limitations to speak of one day later, he's set to handle WR reps behind veterans Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen to begin the season due to Jordan Addison's three-game suspension. In a part-time role last year, Nailor gathered in 28 of 42 targets for 414 yards and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season games.

Impact It's not clear how much Nailor was able to do in practice, but this is a positive sign for his chances to play in Week 1. More should be known on his status when the Vikings start releasing official practice reports Thursday ahead of Monday's game at Chicago.

Nonetheless, it appears he's more likely than not to suit up Week 1 provided that he doesn't hit any more roadblocks between now and next Sunday. Nailor could take on an increased role early in the campaign with Jordan Addison set to miss the first three weeks while suspended.
