Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor is expected to add to the team’s offense in 2026. Nailor is also looked at as a receiver that has the potential to give fantasy football team managers productivity as a depth option next season.
Pro Football Focus’ Nathan Jahnke named Nailor as a late-round sleeper to target in fantasy football drafts in 2026.
”According to PFF's draft guide, (Fernando) Mendoza performs best on short and intermediate throws outside the numbers. On those routes last season, Nailor turned six of 11 targets into first downs or touchdowns, compared with (Tre) Tucker's nine of 28. … Based on his play to date, Nailor should be the first Raidersreceiver off the board in fantasy drafts.“
Nailor had his share of big moments while playing out of the slot with the Minnesota Vikings last season. He was able to break free into the open field with his lauded speed and reel in receptions.
The Las Vegas Bishop Gorman HS alum is expected to produce more than the 444 receiving yards that he went for in 2025, now that he’s with the Raiders for next season. Tucker has the talent to have a breakout year in 2026, with hopefuls Jack Bech and Malik Benson looking to challenge Nailor throughout the year, which may impact the latter’s numbers, but Nailor may give team managers good numbers in spot starts for injured stars.
