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

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor should be avoided in most formats when his struggling offense goes on the road to play Green Bay in Week 12. The Vikings have counted on Nailor in big spots -- like a game-clinching catch at Detroit and a fourth-quarter touchdown against Baltimore -- but his overall volume, 3.7 targets per game, hasn't been enough to rely upon on a week-to-week basis. Additionally, the Vikings are having a hard time simply staying on the field. During the past three weeks, Minnesota has averaged 58 plays as quarterback J.J. McCarthy has struggled to acclimate to the NFL. With Nailor set to face a Green Bay defense that ranks ninth overall against half-PPR receivers, managers should look for a better option this week.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) was limited in his return to practice on Wednesday, per AZCardinals.com's Darren Urban. Harrison had an appendectomy following the team's Week 10 game, and he's missed the last two games as a result. Although nothing is official yet, the 23-year-old second-year wideout could be on track to return in Week 13 on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if he's able to upgrade to a full practice on Thursday or Friday. It's good news for his fantasy managers, although there have been indications that Harrison could take a back seat to Michael Wilson, who has a whopping 25 catches on 33 targets for 303 yards the last two weeks, when he returns. Although Harrison has been better since quarterback Jacoby Brissett took over the offense, he still has yet to live up to his draft status of fourth overall in 2024.
