Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or Chimere Dike

Monday, August 18, 10:21 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor (hand) is "week-to-week" after jamming his hand in practice last Thursday, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Minnesota got good news with Justin Jefferson (hamstring) returning to practice on Monday. However, the team's wide receiver room behind him is having a rough offseason. In addition to Nailor's injury, Jordan Addison will miss the first three games of the season due to suspension, and Rondale Moore (knee) went down with a season-ending knee injury. If Nailor can return in time for Week 1, he could be a decent flex play in fantasy while Addison is sidelined. If Nailor misses time, third-round rookie Tai Felton could see an early-season bump in targets.

Tennessee Titans' rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike recorded one reception for one yard on two targets in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings. Dike was not involved much on Friday, even with Calvin Ridley (soreness) not suiting up. Currently, he sits behind Ridley, Tyler Lockett, Van Jefferson, and fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor on the depth chart, but he appears to have established a solid role on special teams. Head coach Brian Callahan has spoken highly of Dike for his work as a returner, and on Friday against the Vikings, he backed it up with a 36-yard kick return.
