Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or Calvin Austin III

Monday, September 22, 4:09 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor didn't do much in the team's 48-10 blowout win over the visiting Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3 on Sunday in his last chance at an elevated role in Minnesota's passing attack. Nailor secured three of his five targets from veteran quarterback Carson Wentz for 37 yards, which was third on the team. His 37 yards were actually the most he's had in three games in 2025 in what was his best chance for an elevated workload with Jordan Addison suspended for the first three contests. Addison is set to make his season debut in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, so the 26-year-old Nailor will likely have a reduced role. So far this year, Nailor has seven receptions on 13 targets for 96 scoreless yards. He belongs on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues with Addison making his return.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III hauled in three of his five targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in a 21-14 win over the New England Patriots. Although Austin was quiet in Week 2, his numbers through the first three games of the season are shockingly similar to teammate DK Metcalf's. Metcalf leads the Steelers in targets, but Austin is averaging more yards per reception while building chemistry with new quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He has been on the receiving end of two deep touchdown passes, both thrown by Rodgers with the game on the line. While fantasy managers would be wise to avoid starting him against the stout Minnesota Vikings defense, Austin should be rostered heading into Week 4.
