Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or Adonai Mitchell

The Minnesota Vikings are increasingly hopeful that wide receiver Jalen Nailor (hand) will be active in the club's Monday Night Football opener in Chicago, according to a report from Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. That's great news for a Minnesota team that needs some help at the position with Jordan Addison (suspension) set to miss the first three weeks and Rondale Moore (knee) out for the season. Nailor has a limited fantasy ceiling as the likely fourth option in this offense now that the Vikings re-acquired Adam Thielen, but Nailor had some huge catches in a similar role last season with six touchdowns. He'll have some streaming appeal in the early weeks, especially.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell caught his lone target for a four-yard gain in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Mitchell got the start but was overshadowed by Laquon Treadwell, who popped off for 116 yards and a touchdown in the win. The second-year receiver's spot on the roster is safe but he appears to be behind Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce on the depth chart. That being said, Downs is already dealing with a hamstring injury, a situation that could give Mitchell a larger role early in the season. For now, Mitchell is nothing more than a late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts.
