Jalen Nailor Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor (hamstring) is officially active for the Week 10 contest versus the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Nailor was activated from Injured Reserve on Nov. 4 but will just now make his return to game action for the first time since Week 2. Justin Jefferson (hamstring) remains on Injured Reserve and K.J. Osborn (head) was also ruled out for Sunday's game, so Nailor could immediately become Minnesota's No. 3 receiver against New Orleans behind rookie Jordan Addison and Brandon Powell. The 24-year-old is mostly just a special-teams asset, though, so fantasy managers should continue to ignore Nailor despite his return this weekend.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor (hamstring), who came into the Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons as questionable, will remain inactive after the Vikings activated him from Injured Reserve on Saturday. The 24-year-old is mostly a special-teams asset when he's healthy, so he won't be on the fantasy radar, even when he returns to game action. With Justin Jefferson (hamstring) on IR for at least one more game, the Vikings will roll forward with rookie Jordan Addison, K.J. Osborn and Brandon Powell as their top three pass-catchers. Quarterback Kirk Cousins (Achilles) is out for the year, so all of the Vikings' wideouts will take a hit in fantasy value with rookie Jaren Hall starting on Sunday against the Falcons.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor (hamstring) is questionable to return for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. The second-year player practiced in full every day this week, though he still technically remains on injured reserve. Regardless of his return date, he would serve as a depth option behind K.J. Osborn and Jordan Addison for a Vikings squad that is now without quarterback Kirk Cousins. Justin Jefferson's (hamstring) eventual return would be the death knell of Nailor's relevance in fantasy.
