Minnesota Vikings WR Jalen Nailor posted three receptions for 49 yards on three targets in Week 18 against the Green Bay Packers. He ended the season with career bests of 29 receptions and 444 yards, while adding four touchdowns.
Huddle Up: Nailor picked a good time to have a career year, as he is a free-agent-to-be. He might never be a WR1 in the NFL, but the sixth-round draft pick in the 2022 NFL Draft has posted 10 touchdowns in the past two seasons, and he might be in line for a big payday and a chance at a larger role elsewhere. Depending upon where he goes will dictate the amount of fantasy appeal he will have in 2026.

Minnesota Vikings WR Jalen Nailor failed to catch his only target in a 23-10 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 17.
Huddle Up: For the second week in a row and for the third time in the last five games, Nailor was held without a catch. Nailor's fantasy value was already erratic, and if Max Brosmer has to start at quarterback in the finale, Nailor shouldn't be starting in any format.

Minnesota Vikings WR Jalen Nailor failed to catch either of his targets during a 16-13 win over the New York Giants in Week 16.
Huddle Up: A week after catching a pair of touchdowns, Nailor was held without a catch for the third time in his last five games. Given his bust potential, it is tough to trust Nailor in any situation.
