Vikings Beat: Jalen Nailer locks up WR3 spot

Aug 20, 2024

Jalen Nailor has been a star in training camp so far and in both preseason games. He’s locked up the WR3 spot and it hasn’t been close.

Related players: Jordan Addison

Fantasy Impact:

Nailor’s biggest issue since being drafted has been his durability, but when healthy he’s shown he’s capable of WR3 duties, the story went on to say. The emergence of Nailer will allowed Addison to play in the slot, and the story suggested he could be more effective there. With TE T.J. Hockenson not expected to play in the beginning of the season, Nailer could develop some fantasy value.

Tee Higgins (hamstring) in street clothes today as #Bengals come out for practice.

Ja’Marr Chase out here all normal.

Burrow wearing a sweatband in his right wrist today (not making this a thing, merely documenting). Browning has a sweatband on his left wrist.

Related Players: Andrei Iosivas, Charlie Jones, Trenton Irwin

Fantasy Impact:

Iosivas was pegged for more work last week, but his team-leading 35 routes led to a 3-26-0 stat line. That should look better against the Chiefs, but is probably still not worth serious fantasy consideration. Higgins, on the other hand, would be a fringe WR3/4 if he ends up suiting up.

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski ruled out TE David Njoku for Sunday’s game at Jacksonville due to his ankle injury.

Related Players: Jordan Akins

Fantasy Impact:

Bad look for the Browns offense, that can't use anymore distractions right now. Akins shouldn't be in streaming consideration unless you're in a very deep league.

The Steelers are planning to start QB Justin Fields vs the Broncos

Related Players: Russell Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Denver isn't the best matchup for quarterbacks, but we know what Fields can do with his legs when given the opportunity, so he is a fringe QB1 on the week for those in need.
