Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or Pat Bryant

Saturday, December 13, 1:12 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor has been uninvolved in the offense since posting a career high 124 yards and a touchdown on five catches (six targets) in Week 10 against the Baltimore Ravens. Nailor has totaled just four catches for 46 yards on six targets in four games since that game. J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings offense showed signs of life last week in a dominant performance against a poor Washington Commanders defense. Still, the 26-year-old wideout should be considered a desperation play entering Week 15's Sunday night matchup against the Dallas Cowboys defense, who have been even worse than the Commanders against wide receivers, allowing the most PPR points per game to the position.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, according to Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette. Head coach Sean Payton said that Bryant could play with the hamstring injury if it were a playoff game, but the team will hold him out for this game after he missed practice all week. It's unfortunate timing for the rookie third-rounder after taking over as Denver's WR2 ahead of Troy Franklin opposite Courtland Sutton in recent weeks. Bryant has totaled 12 receptions for 156 yards on 17 targets in the past three games. His absence will open up more opportunities for Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr., and Lil'Jordan Humphrey on Sunday. Franklin is back on the fantasy radar as a potential flex play with Bryant out, but he is tough to trust in lineups in a tough Week 15 matchup against the Packers.
