BALLER MOVE: Sit In All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR6
ANALYSIS: Jalen Nailor's touchdown streak is over. The 2022 sixth-round pick found paydirt in each of the first three games this season. In Week 4, he caught one pass for 31 yards.
Nailor's fantasy relevance is dependent on the health of Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. With Addison out of the lineup, Nailor averaged 89.5% of Minnesota's offensive snaps. In the two contests that Addison was active, that figure plummeted to 34%. Nailor's Week 1 touchdown came after Addison departed the game with an ankle injury.
Both of Minnesota's top receivers will be active on Sunday. Expect Nailor to see about a quarter of the snaps. His receiving line on sportsbooks is only 11.5 yards.
Jalen Nailor with only 9 routes run today with Jordan Addison back. He's probably droppable, particularly since he'll be facing the Jets secondary and then a bye week.

The Vikings have a date with the New York Jets in London. The Jets have allowed 128 passing yards per game and two passing touchdowns. The quarterback competition has been well below average (Will Levis, Jacoby Brissett, Bo Nix), but the larger body of work points to the secondary being a no-fly zone.
Nailor shouldn't be in starting lineups this week. Outside the deepest leagues, he doesn't need to be rostered, either.
