Jalen Nailor is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season.
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.

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.
