Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or Jordan Whittington

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.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington has maintained a sizable snap share within his offense, but he continues to be a low-volume option. He has played at least 40% of the snaps in every game he has been healthy for this season, but he hasn't surpassed 6.2 fantasy points (PPR) in a single contest so far. In fact, over his last two full games, he has just one target, one catch, and nine receiving yards. The Texas product has also started to see more special teams opportunities, returning a pair of kicks in Week 11. Now, even in a relatively favorable matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12, Whittington is not a reliable fantasy option. He ranks as the overall WR89 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings. As long as Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are healthy, Whittington can be left on waivers.
