Injury Status: Healthy
by Nathan Runyan
Wide receiver Jalen Nailor joined the Las Vegas Raiders this past offseason after serving as a productive third WR on the Minnesota Vikings, but he has yet to see meaningful production this year. There was speculation that Jalen Nailor could have a major role, or even enter the season as the Raiders' top wide receiver. In five fully healthy games, Nailor has 20 targets, but has only hauled in eight of them. There are multiple solid receiving options ahead of Nailor in the pecking order, including tight ends Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer, as well as wide receiver Tre Tucker, who has taken a large step forward this season. Nailor has a target share of only 11.2% in his healthy games and has only been able to produce an average of 3.1 fantasy points per game. Jalen Nailor has not lived up to his preseason expectations and will likely not be worth rostering for the remainder of the season.

Jalen Nailor 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Could Take a Leap in Thin Raiders Receiving Room
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor finally finds himself with a good chance at seeing consistent involvement on the field following four years as an ancillary piece in Minnesota. He only had 12 total catches between 21 games in 2022-23, but grew into a 57-858-10 receiving line across 34 games in 2024-25. He only topped 50 yards once in 2026, but he made it read more...
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor finally finds himself with a good chance at seeing consistent involvement on the field following four years as an ancillary piece in Minnesota. He only had 12 total catches between 21 games in 2022-23, but grew into a 57-858-10 receiving line across 34 games in 2024-25. He only topped 50 yards once in 2026, but he made it count, securing five catches for 124 yards and a score in Week 10. The Raiders will either be led by rookie Fernando Mendoza or veteran Kirk Cousins, neither of whom is a bankable asset. This is offset by Nailor joining a weak WR corps, where talent can readily make him the No. 1 WR, even if he'd still be behind TE Brock Bowers. There's offseason buzz saying that Nailor is going to be the Jaxon Smith-Njigba in Klint Kubiak's new LV offense. That's a 99th-percentile runout, but the point stands that there is little resistance to the opportunity. His WR61/Pick 160 ADP as of mid-June leaves plenty of room for profit.less...
