Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or DeMario Douglas

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor "will be the team's No. 3 receiver," according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Lewis also notes that Nailor showed up to organized team activities in the "best shape of his life." Nailor played 17 games for Minnesota last season, recording 28 receptions for 414 yards and six touchdowns. His most productive stretch of the season might have been from Week 2-3, where he tallied a combined six catches for 85 yards and two scores. That's noteworthy because those are the two games that fellow Minnesota wideout Jordan Addison missed in 2024. Addison could be facing an early-season suspension due to a DUI citation he received last summer. If that happens, Nailor could be a sneaky end-of-roster add for fantasy managers.

DeMario Douglas has been the New England Patriots' "most consistent" wide receiver in training camp, according to Paul Perillo of Patriots.com. After hauling in 66 passes on 87 targets for 621 yards and three touchdowns in 2024, the 24-year-old Douglas has continued to develop a rapport with quarterback Drake Maye this summer. With Maye likely to take a leap forward this season under new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, Douglas should be among the beneficiaries. Slot receivers have been known to thrive under McDaniels, who got the best out of Julian Edelman, Wes Welker, Danny Amendola, and Jakobi Meyers in the past, which bodes well for Douglas.
