Derek Brown pointed out at Fantasy Pros<\/a>, despite the fact that if you peel back his stats a little, there’s reason for optimism.<\/p>\n“Yes,” he said, “last year Nailor had only a 10.3% target share, 1.19 yards per route run, and a 10.8% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). None of those metrics will or should get you excited, but when we dig deeper, his per-route numbers are QUITE INTERESTING. Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, he was 33rd in separation and 51st in route win rate. As a perimeter receiver among the same sample, his numbers look even better (141 routes) as he was sixth-best in separation and 13th in route win rate.”<\/p>\n
This isn’t to say that Nailor is going to come from nowhere to be a top-10 wide receiver. Or even a top-25 fantasy receiver. But even if all he is a viable WR3 or ‘flex” option, we’re talking about a weekly fantasy starter who is essentially free.<\/p>\n
