Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or Jermaine Burton

Saturday, January 11, 5:26 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor will be a low-floor WR2 this Monday night when he squares off against the Los Angeles Rams on the road. The Michigan State alum was one of the more productive Vikings skill players in last week's loss to the Detroit Lions -; notching the second-most receiving yards behind fellow wideout Justin Jefferson. In fact, Nailor has been solid in his previous two appearances, registering eight receptions and 134 yards on nine targets. However, that production accounts for 29- and 32% of his catches and yards on the season, respectively. Otherwise, he averaged just 18.7 yards on 1.3 receptions in his other 15 outings. The 25-year-old has a wide, volatile range of outcomes this Monday. Still, he's been decently involved recently, and the pickings are slim in the Wild Card round. He clocks in as RotoBaller's PPR WR21 ahead of this weekend's action.

According to Ben Baby of ESPN, Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton will not travel to Pittsburgh with the team due to a coach's decision. The rookie has had struggles finding playing time during his rookie campaign and will now not even be with the team during their must-win game on Saturday evening. This is a telling sign and could suggest the he is beginning to fall out of favor with the coaching staff. He has not logged at least ten offensive snaps in each of his past five games. Throughout the season, Burton has only caught four of his 14 targets for 107 yards. Fantasy managers should expect Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins (ankle) and Andrei Iosivas to lead the passing attack once again in the regular season finale.
