Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson made a solid impression in the Raiders' preseason finale, snagging three catches for 35 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 24-24 tie to the San Francisco 49ers. While this performance boosts his chances of making the final roster, fantasy managers should temper their expectations. Even if Wilkerson secures a spot, he's likely to be no higher than fifth or sixth on the depth chart. In the Raiders' offense, this translates to minimal regular-season opportunities, barring multiple injuries ahead of him. His preseason touchdown showcases some red-zone potential, but Wilkerson's fantasy relevance will be severely limited with established targets like Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers ahead of him. At best, he's a name to remember for deep dynasty leagues or as a potential in-season waiver wire option if injuries decimate the Raiders' receiving corps. For now, Wilkerson remains off the radar in all but the deepest of fantasy formats.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson re-signed with the team's practice squad on Tuesday. Wilkerson was released by the Raiders over the weekend but quickly re-signed with them after they cut linebackers Austin Ajiake and Isaac Darkangelo from the practice squad. Wilkerson has appeared in just two games so far this season but hasn't drawn a target. The Raiders passing game still revolves around Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson caught 10-of-13 targets for 122 receiving yards during the team's 31-16 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday. Wilkerson finishes the preseason with 17 receptions, enough to lead the NFL. Despite the strong performance, the third-year receiver will be on the roster bubble for the Raiders in a crowded receiving room that includes Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, Hunter Renfrow, Phillip Dorsett, and DeAndre Carter. Wilkerson has a promising future, but we will see on Tuesday if that will continue in Las Vegas or not.
