24-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Minnesota Vikings
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Being a 2022 sixth-round pick gives Nailor less leeway as he navigates the pro ranks, but he's shown flashes of being an NFL receiver. The main problem is his size (5-11, 186), which inhibits what otherwise is decent athleticism (4.5-second 40-yard dash, 38-inch vertical, 128-inch broad jump). However, Nailor was a good player on a Michigan State offense with another NFL wide receiver (Jayden Reed). Nailor will vie with K.J. Osborn, Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Bisi Johnson for the third and fourth receiver jobs as a rookie. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a four-year, $3.84 million contract with the Vikings in May of 2022.
Has four receptions in win
WRMinnesota Vikings
January 9, 2023
Nailor reeled in four of five targets for 62 yards during Sunday's 29-13 win versus the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Nailor got playing time in the second half after starters were rested ahead of the playoffs. Nailor has seven receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown in his last two games. Although almost all his playing time was in garbage time, he still showed enough to put him in a good spot to compete for a larger role in 2023.
