Who Should I Start? Joshua Palmer or Jalen Nailor

Wednesday, September 17, 1:39 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer has been a nice addition to the team's offense two weeks into the season. The former Los Angeles Charger ranks second among Bills WRs in catches (seven), targets (12), and yards (108), trailing only Keon Coleman in those categories. Palmer led the way with 47 receiving yards on two grabs in a win over the New York Jets in Week 2, when the Bills elected for a run-first approach instead of airing it out. They figure to have more success throwing the ball on Thursday against the Miami Dolphins, who have surrendered 33 points per game while yielding the league's highest completion percentage (78.8) and its second-highest QB rating (126.1). That should help set Palmer up for a relatively successful evening, though he's certainly not a high-end fantasy option. RotoBaller has Palmer as the 62nd-ranked WR going into Week 3.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor operated as the clear WR2 behind All-Pro Justin Jefferson in the team's 22-6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football in Week 2. Nailor finished the night second in both targets (five) and yardage (31) while tying for the team lead in catches (three) in a game in which quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) looked like a rookie. The 26-year-old could have had a much bigger game had McCarthy not overthrown him on what could have been a long touchdown reception. Nailor really hasn't been anything special through two weeks in a Vikings offense that has mostly struggled in McCarthy's first two career games, as he's caught four passes on eight targets for 59 yards and no scores. Jordan Addison has one more game to serve on his suspension, so Nailor might have one final chance for flex value in a plus Week 3 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Minnesota's defense could actually see a boost with the move to backup QB Carson Wentz.
