Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or Roman Wilson

The Minnesota Vikings are increasingly hopeful that wide receiver Jalen Nailor (hand) will be active in the club's Monday Night Football opener in Chicago, according to a report from Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. That's great news for a Minnesota team that needs some help at the position with Jordan Addison (suspension) set to miss the first three weeks and Rondale Moore (knee) out for the season. Nailor has a limited fantasy ceiling as the likely fourth option in this offense now that the Vikings re-acquired Adam Thielen, but Nailor had some huge catches in a similar role last season with six touchdowns. He'll have some streaming appeal in the early weeks, especially.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson finished with two receptions for 72 yards on four targets in a 17-14 preseason loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The second-year pro did all of his damage in the contest's opening quarter. He ran past multiple defenders to secure a 42-yard deep ball from Mason Rudolph and later found space on a crossing route to gain 30 yards on a pass from Skylar Thompson. After a rookie season plagued by injuries, Wilson has shown promise heading into the 2025-2026 campaign. With teammate Calvin Austin III (abdomen) currently injured, Wilson has a clear path to earning the WR2 role behind D.K. Metcalf. The 24-year-old will look to build on this strong performance in Pittsburgh's final exhibition game against the Carolina Panthers.
