Who Should I Start? Tim Patrick or Jalen Nailor

The Jacksonville Jaguars have acquired veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick from the Detroit Lions in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The 31-year-old recorded 33 catches for 394 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games with Detroit last year. The Lions' decision to move on from Patrick signals an internal belief in third-round rookie Isaac TeSlaa, who was a standout performer in the preseason. In Jacksonville, Patrick will likely step into the team's WR3 role next to Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.

As the Minnesota Vikings prepare to start an undrafted rookie quarterback, Jalen Nailor is a low-end wide receiver option in Week 13 at Seattle. The Vikings are down to their third-string quarterback, Max Brosmer, who has never made a start in the NFL. The circumstances have considerably dimmed the prospects for everyone on the Minnesota offense, but especially Nailor, who already was facing an inconsistent target share behind fellow receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. After a breakout Week 10 game, Nailor had just two combined targets in the next two games, which is nowhere near enough to rely upon in any fantasy format. Now, with even tougher circumstances ahead, Nailor can safely remain on waiver wires in the majority of fantasy formats.
