Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or Justyn Ross

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.

The Kansas City Chiefs elevated wide receiver Justyn Ross from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Monday night for the Week 9 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It will be Ross' first game of 2024 on the team's active roster with JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) missing his second straight game. KC is also without Rashee Rice (knee) and Marquise Brown (shoulder) for the rest of the year, which led them to trade for veteran DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins should have a bigger role on Monday alongside rookie Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson and Mecole Hardman, with tight end Travis Kelce also having a higher ceiling and floor in fantasy. The 24-year-old Ross had six catches for 53 yards in his 10 regular-season games for the Chiefs a season ago. Fantasy managers should continue to ignore Ross.
