Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or Devaughn Vele

Friday, November 28, 3:54 PM

As the Minnesota Vikings prepare to start an undrafted rookie quarterback, Jalen Nailor is a low-end wide receiver option in Week 13 at Seattle. The Vikings are down to their third-string quarterback, Max Brosmer, who has never made a start in the NFL. The circumstances have considerably dimmed the prospects for everyone on the Minnesota offense, but especially Nailor, who already was facing an inconsistent target share behind fellow receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. After a breakout Week 10 game, Nailor had just two combined targets in the next two games, which is nowhere near enough to rely upon in any fantasy format. Now, with even tougher circumstances ahead, Nailor can safely remain on waiver wires in the majority of fantasy formats.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele has yet to carve out a significant role in the Big Easy, recording just six receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown on the season. However, with the team set to waive veteran Brandin Cooks, there will be additional opportunity for Vele to contribute in the offense. He has received eight targets in his last two contests and was on the field for a season-high 87% of snaps in the Week 10 win against the Panthers. With the Saints lacking a clear-cut WR2 behind Olave, Vele will compete with Mason Tipton for targets, though Tipton played just 34% of snaps in their last game. Given the potential increase in role, he's worth monitoring in deep leagues.
