Jalen Nailor Disappoints in Last Chance as WR2

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.

DeMario Douglas Remains Unappealing in Depth Role

Saturday, October 25, 9:25 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas remains an unappealing fantasy option heading into Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns. Outside of a strong Week 6 against the Saints, Douglas has massively underwhelmed this season, catching just 13 passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns. He has routinely been out-snapped by Kayshon Boutte, Stefon Diggs, and Mack Hollins, making it difficult for him to carve out any sort of fantasy relevance. The 24-year-old is especially concerning this week as he takes on the Cleveland Browns, who have allowed the 15th-fewest fantasy points to slot receivers in 2025. Douglas can be left on waivers in most formats.
