Jalen Nailor News
Tuesday, March 3, 12:13 PM
"More than 10 teams are eyeing" Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent wide receiver Jalen Nailor, league sources told Alec Lewis of The Athletic. The 27-year-old "will be one of the more coveted free-agent wide receivers next week." Nailor has caught just 69 passes and has never reached 450 receiving yards in a single season, but multiple evaluators "think he has the potential to become a priority signing." He picks up offensive concepts well, is a willing run-blocker, has vertical speed, and shows separation ability, which is why the Vikings would prefer not to lose him. An NFC executive thinks Nailor could produce an 80-catch season in the near future. Lewis writes that Nailor could be in line for a three-year deal worth an average annual value of between $12 million and $15 million. While the Vikings would like to retain Nailor, they aren't likely to spend big at the position. Depending on his landing spot, fantasy managers should keep Nailor's name in mind as a potential sleeper in 2026.

Jalen Coker News
Wednesday, March 4, 9:51 AM
The Carolina Panthers placed exclusive-rights free-agent tenders on wide receivers Jalen Coker and Brycen Tremayne on Wednesday, locking them both in for the 2026 season, according to Darin Gantt of Panthers.com. Neither Coker nor Tremayne will have the opportunity to negotiate with other teams this offseason. The 24-year-old Coker missed the first six games of last season due to a quadriceps injury, but he still managed to finish second in receiving in Carolina with 33 catches on 43 targets for 394 yards and a career-high three touchdowns in 11 regular-season games in his second year in the NFL. Coker emerged as the team's WR2 behind Offensive Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan late in the year, catching 19 passes for 244 yards and all three of his TDs in the final five games. He added nine grabs for 134 yards and a score in the Wild-Card playoff loss to the Rams. If Coker can play in a full season, he has true breakout potential as Carolina's WR2.
