Can Jalen Nailor be the No. 1 Wide Receiver in Las Vegas?

Tuesday, March 17, 6:21 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor is expected to have increased fantasy value going forward. This offseason, Nailor hit free agency and signed with the Raiders, going from the No. 3 receiver in Minnesota to the potential No. 1 receiver in Vegas. He never quite emerged as a consistent week-over-week fantasy option in Minnesota, but he certainly flashed upside with a total of 10 touchdowns over the last two years. In each of those two seasons, he also had at least 28 catches and 414 yards. We don't quite know if Nailor is capable of making the jump to a top receiver role, so fantasy managers should temper expectations at least a little. Plus, Vegas also has Tre Tucker and Jack Bech on its roster, creating additional competition for Nailor, and we can't rule out the possibility of them drafting another pass-catcher. Finally, Vegas' offense could experience some growing pains in the first year under presumptive No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza. All in all, there's upside here, but it's a bit too early to send out dynasty trade offers that would price Nailor as a top-40 fantasy receiver.

Jack Bech Still Trending Up Despite Increased Competition?

Wednesday, March 18, 4:20 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jack Bech will have to compete with some new faces in his position group next season. The Raiders invested more than $35 million into wide receiver Jalen Nailor, giving Vegas another top target to join Bech and Tre Tucker. Tight ends Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer will fetch plenty of targets next year, too. All in all, it's a somewhat crowded receiver room for someone like Bech, who has yet to establish himself as a consistent pass-catching threat week in and week out. Nevertheless, there are several reasons for dynasty managers to be optimistic. First of all, Bech is a glaring Year 2 breakout candidate after catching 12 passes from Week 13 through 16. He showed flashes of being able to handle a bigger role after the team traded away Jakobi Meyers. Additionally, the TCU product will get a major quarterback upgrade if the Raiders draft Fernando Mendoza, kicking off the post-Geno Smith era. Barring a major wide receiver addition in free agency or the draft, it looks like Bech will be the No. 2 or 3 receiver in Vegas next year, giving him decent upside and the potential to be a WR3/flex in deeper fantasy leagues.
