BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 11% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor has really benefited from the absence of Jordan Addison from an ankle injury, with Nailor looking like a must-play fantasy option until Addison returns.
That's because Nailor has found the end zone in every game so far. He hasn't finished with more than 54 yards or three receptions in a game, but he's made up for that with the touchdowns.
.@JJettas2 and @jalennailor are the first duo in franchise history to both score a receiving touchdown in each of the team’s first three games of a season.
They are the first pair to achieve the feat league wide since 2018 (WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin). pic.twitter.com/FD7HxCLqTG

Of course, this largely makes Nailor a touchdown-dependent boom-or-bust play right now, and the bust weeks are certainly going to come at some point. But with Nailor playing 93% of snaps in Week 2 and 86% of snaps in Week 3, he's on the field enough for fantasy managers to remain optimistic that they'll continue to get big games out of him.
Consider Nailor to be a fantasy waiver wire option ahead of Week 4 in 12-team PPR leagues or deeper.

BALLER MOVE: Don't Add ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's still not a good idea to use a waiver claim or even a bench spot on Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins. He caught all four of his targets for 86 yards last week, but that performance was the exception rather than the rule […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas once again led all Patriots wide receivers in receiving yards this past Sunday.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants.
