Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or Isaiah Bond

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.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond caught just two of his seven targets for 29 yards in a Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London. Bond finished second on the team in targets in the close loss but was unable to get on the same page as rookie Dillon Gabriel, who was making his NFL debut. That being said, Bond's involvement in the passing game has been encouraging of late as he's drawn 13 targets over his past two contests. He will head on the road to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a divisional clash in Week 6. The Steelers have struggled against opposing receivers in four games this year, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game. Bond isn't a must-play, but he will be on the fantasy radar as a boom/bust flex option in a week with both the Vikings and the Houston Texans on bye.
