Who Should I Start? Britain Covey or Jalen Nailor

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Britain Covey (neck) put in a limited practice on Friday but was ruled out for the Week 14 contest on Sunday against the visiting Carolina Panthers. Covey will now set his sights on being available for the team in Week 15 when they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Eagles will be without the 27-year-old for receiver depth this weekend, but they will be getting receiver DeVonta Smith back from a hamstring ailment that kept him out of the last two games. It's positive news after the team placed tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) on Injured Reserve. With Covey out, Cooper DeJean and Ainias Smith will fight for snaps as the No. 3 receiver in Philly with Jahan Dotson. Covey has not been on the fantasy radar at all in 2024 in his second year in the NFL, as he's caught only seven passes for 34 yards in his five games.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor will not be a recommended option this Monday night when his team takes on the Chicago Bears. Minnesota's passing offense has been excellent this season under quarterback Sam Darnold, compiling the ninth-most points per game in the NFL (26.1). However, Nailor has not contributed much since a four-catch 76-yard outing in Week 7. Over the following seven games, the 25-year-old has accumulated just six catches and 57 yards on 14 targets. This includes two goose eggs in which he garnered none. With fellow wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison dominating targets, it is too difficult to trust the third-year wideout as a viable fantasy alternative as he is, at best, the fourth or fifth option on his squad. Nailor ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR87 for Week 15.
