Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or Marvin Harrison Jr.

Wednesday, December 17, 9:53 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor (back) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Nailor gave fantasy managers a strong performance last weekend with a two-touchdown game against the Dallas Cowboys. The 26-year-old must have picked up a minor back issue during that victory, however. Nailor has seen a bigger role over the last two weeks with quarterback J.J. McCarthy back under center. It seems that the two of them are building some decent chemistry together. Nailor makes for a possible deep-league flex option, assuming he's able to suit up for the upcoming matchup against the New York Giants. If not, rookie Tai Felton could see more action on the field, but he wouldn't be a recommended streaming option. The absence of Nailor would likely just mean more targets for Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) was seen practicing for the second straight day on Thursday, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Harrison was listed as limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. The 23-year-old missed Weeks 11 and 12 following an appendectomy, and when he returned in Week 13, he suffered a heel injury that forced him to sit out Weeks 14 and 15. All signs are pointing to Harrison returning this weekend against the Atlanta Falcons, though. Michael Wilson has gone bonkers for fantasy managers with Harrison sidelined for four of the last five games, and Harrison could take a back seat to him upon his return. Still, Harrison has plenty of upside in Arizona's pass-happy offense if he makes it back against Atlanta after catching six of seven targets for 69 yards in his last game on Nov. 30.
