This Week Outlook
Availability

Fantasy Impact
Nailor finished second on the team in receiving on Sunday and his three catches were his first since catching three passes at Dallas on December 14. Despite having gone catch-less in five games this season, Nailor finished with career-highs in receptions (29) and receiving yards (444) in his fourth season in Minnesota.
Jalen Nailor failed to catch his only target in the Vikings' 23-10 win over the Lions in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
Nailor has struggled to make an impact in the Minnesota offense of late, finishing with two targets or less in five of his last seven games. The wideout can be left off rosters in all formats ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Green Bay Packers.
Jalen Nailor failed to catch either of his two targets in the Vikings' 16-13 win over the Giants in Week 16.
Fantasy Impact
Nailor has not been much of a factor in the Minnesota offense, recording three targets or less in five of his last six games. The pass-catcher can remain off rosters in all formats ahead of a Week 17 contest against the Detroit Lions.
Jalen Nailor (back) was listed as a limited participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Nailor was limited for a second-straight practice on Thursday as he continues to recover from a back injury of some kind. It looks like he's trending towards playing in Week 16 and will be looking to build on his success after scoring two touchdowns last week.
Jalen Nailor emerged as a pivotal red-zone threat in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, turning five targets into three catches for 47 yards and two touchdowns. His first score—a contested grab inside the 20-yard line during the opening quarter—resulted in a hard landing that left him down on the turf, though he returned to the lineup on the following possession.
Fantasy Impact
Unfazed by the physical toll, Nailor returned to the end zone in the fourth quarter to cap off his multi-score performance. The outing highlights the receiver's growing value as the Vikings' WR3, a role he has executed efficiently throughout the season.
