Vikings signed third-round pick WR Tai Felton to a four-year contract.
Felton is quietly in play to challenge Vikings No. 3 WR Jalen Nailor in training camp. Nailor (5'11/190) caught 28-of-42 targets for 414 yards and six touchdowns in his first season as a starter last year, with the latter category buoying his fantasy productivity. Felton (6'1/183), meanwhile, caught 96-of-143 targets for 1,119 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging 2.32 yards per route run in his final college season. Fantasy managers should monitor Felton’s training camp reports this summer, as he could have a matchup-based WR5 role if everything falls into place.
Vikings selected Maryland WR Tai Felton with the No. 102 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Felton’s production steadily rose over four years at Maryland, culminating in a 96/1124/9 receiving line in his senior season. He’s a svelte outside receiver (6'1/183) who won after the catch and racked up 590 YAC in his final season and forced 26 missed tackles; the fifth-most among wide receivers last year. Unsurprisingly, Felton didn’t have the frame to win contested targets in college, bringing down 7-of-18 contested looks in his final season. Felton showed off his speed and burst at the combine with a 4.37 Forty followed by broad and vertical jumps above the 90th percentile. He left Indianapolis with a 9.2 RAS. Felton has the production of a potential NFL starter, but he may need to bulk up to be anything more than a volatile WR3 in the pros.
