Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Stays limited in practice
Jalen Nailor (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.Coming off a two-touchdown performance in this past Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys, Nailor has been slowed by a back injury during Week 16 prep. He's now been a limited practice participant for two straight days, but so long as he can upgrade to full activity Friday, he'll likely approach Sunday's matchup with the Giants without an injury designation.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Tending to back injury
Jalen Nailor was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a back injury.Nailor has settled into a regular role in the Minnesota Vikings' offense this season and is coming of the first multi-touchdown performance of his career this past Sunday at Dallas. However, he's now dealing with a health concern in the wake of that contest, giving him two chances to get back to full this week before the Vikings potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: First career multi-score game
Jalen Nailor corralled three of five targets for 47 yards and a pair of touchdowns while losing two yards on his only carry in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.Nailor came up a bit lame after making an incredible grab on his first touchdown scored Sunday. The 26-year-old was grounded for a while after absorbing a hard landing on the catch, but he managed to stay in the game and produced a second touchdown grab in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory for Minnesota. It was the first multi-score game of Nailor's career and it doubled his total from his previous 13 games this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into Sunday's outburst. Nailor and his 26-395-4 receiving line remain only a deep-league option for Week 16.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Three receptions in win
Jalen Nailor had three receptions for 30 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Washington.Nailor didn't have a reception and just one target each game the prior two weeks amid Minnesota's struggles through the air. With J.J. McCarthy showing signs of being a credible passer in the win, Nailor could get back to seeing 3-5 targets a game like earlier in the season. However, he's prone to low-output games when the offense struggles, considering Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson draw the bulk of the targets.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: No receptions in loss
Jalen Nailor did not have a catch on his lone target in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.Nailor played on 20 of the offense's 44 snaps, which was a little lower than his usual participation rate. However, it's hard to read too much into his performance given the historically inept performance of J.J. McCarthy (87 yards passing, two interceptions and 17.9 QBR). Nailor and the passing game have another tough matchup next week at Seattle. It's hard to envision any Minnesota receivers having fantasy relevance if McCarthy continues to struggle like his last two games.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Just one reception in loss
Jalen Nailor had one reception for 16 yards on his only target in Sunday's loss to Chicago.A week after a career-best performance (five receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown), Nailor wasn't a big factor as Minnesota's passing game struggled due to quarterback J.J. McCarthy's inaccuracy. Nailor played on 33 of the offense's 55 snaps, so he was getting his usual workload. However, he's prone to low output games when the offense struggles, considering Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson draw the bulk of the targets.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Career-best performance
Jalen Nailor recorded five receptions on six targets for 124 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens.Nailor made nearly all of his impact early and late in the game. He beat Marlon Humphrey deep down the field on the sixth play from scrimmage and then managed to turn upfield for a 62-yard gain that came just short of a touchdown. Nailor then came up big during Minnesota's rally late in the game, as he hauled in another deep pass for a 28-yard gain before making an impressive, acrobatic 10-yard touchdown catch four plays later. This marked the first time that Nailor has reached 100 receiving yards in his career and also matched his career high of five receptions.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Has key reception in win
Jalen Nailor had one reception for 16 yards on four targets in Sunday's win at Detroit.Nailor had just one catch, but it was for a first down at the end of the game that sealed the victory. His opportunities didn't change with the return of J.J. McCarthy at quarterback. Nailor played on 33 of the offense's 62 snaps, which was slightly less than his usual participation. He continues to have a steady role in the offense but won't get many looks in the passing game with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson drawing the bulk of the targets.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: No receptions in loss
Jalen Nailor did not have a reception on his only target in Thursday's loss at the Chargers.Nailor played on 34 of the offense's 49 snaps, which was in line with his usual playing time as the No. 3 receiver. However, he didn't factor into the passing game as there were few downfield passes as Carson Wentz had little time to throw (five sacks) amid an injury-plagued offensive line. Nailor is prone to low output games when the offense struggles, considering Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson draw the bulk of the targets.
