BALLER MOVE: Sit Jalen Nailor in all formats
POSITIONAL VALUE: Mid-range WR6
ANALYSIS: Nailor has been a nice surprise this season after stepping up and becoming a reliable No. 3 option at wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings.
However, he hasn't seen enough volume each week to be consistent for fantasy purposes. Nailor has just one game with five-plus targets, but he has been able to produce with what he's been given. Nailor has 12 receptions for 213 yards and three touchdowns on the season.
Minnesota has a solid matchup for fantasy against the shaky Los Angeles Rams defense in Week 8 on Thursday Night Football, but it's hard to start Nailor in fantasy right now.

Unfortunately, once tight end T.J. Hockenson straps the helmet back on and gets into the groove, Nailor gets bumped down to being the fourth wheel in this offensive love story. He is nothing more than a dart throw in DFS formats for the time being.
