Nailor reeled in 4 of 5 targets for 62 yards during Sunday's 29-13 win versus the Bears.
What it means:
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.
Nailor had three receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.
What it means:
Nailor played nine snaps on offense, but almost all came late in the game when the Vikings were resting their starters amid a blowout loss (including his 47-yard touchdown), so don't read too much into his performance. However, he could become a focus of the passing game in Week 18 if the Vikings bench their starters early in the game or rest them completely ahead of the playoffs.
Nailor (illness) is not listed on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday.
What it means:
Nailor did not practice at all last week due to an illness, forcing him to sit out Sunday's win over Washington. He appears to be feeling better, giving him a good chance of returning to action in Week 10 versus Buffalo. However, that isn't newsworthy for fantasy managers, as Nailor has taken only one snap on offense so far this season.
Nailor (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
What it means:
Nailor was unable to practice in any capacity during the week due to illness and will be inactive for the second time this season. He's served primarily on special teams and has only one catch for 13 yards in six games on the campaign.
Nailor (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday.
What it means:
Nailor was inactive during Sunday's win over the Bears after being limited with a hamstring injury in practice Thursday and Friday. However, the rookie wideout appears to be healthy again after participating in full during the first practice of Week 6. Nailor recorded once reception on his lone offensive snap of the season in Week 4, and he should continue to primarily play on special teams, barring any injuries to Minnesota's wide receiver corps.
Nailor (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Bears.
What it means:
Nailor popped up on the injury report list Thursday as a limited participant because of a hamstring injury. With the rookie sidelined, Dan Chisena, who was elevated from the practice squad, will likely take over Nailor's depth receiver role behind Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, K.J. Osborn and Jalen Reagor.
