Jalen Nailor a Risky Option in Week 15

Saturday, December 13, 1:12 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor has been uninvolved in the offense since posting a career high 124 yards and a touchdown on five catches (six targets) in Week 10 against the Baltimore Ravens. Nailor has totaled just four catches for 46 yards on six targets in four games since that game. J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings offense showed signs of life last week in a dominant performance against a poor Washington Commanders defense. Still, the 26-year-old wideout should be considered a desperation play entering Week 15's Sunday night matchup against the Dallas Cowboys defense, who have been even worse than the Commanders against wide receivers, allowing the most PPR points per game to the position.

Emeka Egbuka Offers Shaky WR3 Value in Week 15

Wednesday, December 10, 10:17 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie first-round wide receiver Emeka Egbuka has struggled to produce any consistent numbers over the last month of the season. Egbuka has finished with 42 receiving yards or fewer in four straight games. His target share has been there, with eight targets or more in seven consecutive contests. Unfortunately, Egbuka and quarterback Baker Mayfield aren't on the same page right now. Egbuka's fantasy value could drop even more going forward with veteran Mike Evans (collarbone) trending in the right direction to return in Week 15. Egbuka figures to lose targets to Evans and Chris Godwin Jr. to close out what has been a strong first NFL season. The rookie wideout has enough big-play potential to warrant a look for the Thursday night matchup versus the Atlanta Falcons, but fantasy managers might want to temper their expectations for him as a WR3/flex.
