Jalen Nailor Making a Case for Late-Round Value

Thursday, August 27, 11:33 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor has strengthened his late-round redraft case by holding onto a starting job throughout August. Nailor signed a three-year, $35.03 million deal with Las Vegas after setting career highs with 29 catches and 444 receiving yards to go with four touchdowns in 2025, and the Raiders still list him with the first-team offense. His chemistry with Kirk Cousins has also shown up repeatedly in camp. Nailor caught a deep touchdown from Cousins on August 6, another score during red-zone work on August 10, and two more touchdowns from him in the red zone on August 17. He then caught one of three targets for 22 yards against Houston while playing into the third drive. There is still some risk here. Head coach Klint Kubiak recently challenged the entire receiver room to be more consistent, while Brock Bowers should remain the focal point of the passing game and Tre Tucker and Jack Bech will compete for targets. Still, Nailor's starting role, vertical ability, and repeated red-zone production have made him more interesting than he was entering camp. RotoBaller currently has him at WR64.

Caleb Douglas Sits Against Giants, Further Cementing Role in Dolphins' Offense

Saturday, August 22, 6:52 PM

Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas did not see any game action in the Dolphins' 26-3 preseason loss to the New York Giants. With no reported injuries or soreness, Douglas likely sat due to his standing in the Dolphins' starting offense. The third-round pick has spent most of training camp and the preseason with the first-team offense, was listed as a starter on the unofficial depth chart, and is now too important to risk in a preseason game. Miami's receiver room remains lackluster, with Malik Washington and third-round pick Chris Bell expected to operate alongside Douglas. However, it appears the former Texas Tech receiver is an integral piece of this offense and should be considered in the late rounds of fantasy drafts.
