Concussion
January 6, 2024
Nailor (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Nailor had already been ruled out for the Vikings' regular-season finale, but he'll be forced to miss the team's next four games after going on IR. Unless Minnesota is able to make it to the Super Bowl, the second-year wideout's season is over. Nailor has struggled to stay on the field this year, appearing in just six games and catching three passes for 29 yards.

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.
