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

Another TD in Week 2 win
Nailor secured three of four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 23-17 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Nailor finished second in receiving yards to Justin Jefferson (quadriceps) and recorded his second touchdown in as many weeks to open the campaign on a 10-yard grab just past the midway point of the third quarter. Nailor had a chance for additional opportunity with Jordan Addison (ankle) missing the contest altogether and Jefferson exiting late in the third quarter, and if at least one is out for a Week 3 home showdown against the Texans, he could serve as the No. 2 wideout for Sam Darnold in what could be a high-scoring contest.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for larger role in Week 2
Nailor should see additional looks from quarterback Sam Darnold in the passing game after wide receiver Jordan Addison was ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Nailor saw just one target in Week 1 against the Giants, but he turned that into a 21-yard touchdown reception. He played only 26 snaps on offense in Week 1, but he was limited in practice due to an ankle injury, and he was a full participant in all three sessions leading up to Week 2. That could mean Nailor plays a larger role in the Vikings' passing attack while the 49ers' defense focuses its efforts in shutting down superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
