Jalen Nailor Remains Poised for Prominent Role in Las Vegas Following NFL Draft

Tuesday, April 28, 8:11 AM

After spending the first four seasons of his career with the Minnesota Vikings, wide receiver Jalen Nailor landed a three-year, $35 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this offseason. Nailor's numbers from 2025 don't jump off the page, as he recorded just 29 receptions for 444 yards and four touchdowns on 53 targets across 17 games. However, the 27-year-old has been stuck behind the star wide receiver duo of Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison for the past few seasons in Minnesota. With Las Vegas, Nailor could be the team's WR1 and the number two option in the passing game behind tight end Brock Bowers. Nailor's main competition in the Raiders' wide receiver room is Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, Dareke Young, Dont'e Thornton Jr., and 2026 sixth-round pick Malik Benson. In dynasty formats, Nailor's value is rising as he heads into the best target-volume situation of his career.

Jordan Whittington News

Jordan Whittington a Non-Factor in Second Season in 2025

Thursday, February 19, 4:54 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington was more productive on offense in his rookie campaign in 2024 in two fewer games than he was in 17 regular-season contests in 2025. The 25-year-old former sixth-round pick out of the University of Texas caught just 18 passes for 171 yards and no touchdowns on 25 targets in his sophomore season in an explosive Rams offense. On special teams, he returned 17 kickoffs for 434 yards. Even though Cooper Kupp left, the addition of Davante Adams in L.A. left very few targets for Whittington and Tutu Atwell. Whittington has a total of 40 catches on 53 targets for 464 yards and no touchdowns in his first 32 NFL games (nine starts), and nothing points to him having a drastically bigger role going into the 2026 season, barring significant injuries to either Adams or Puka Nacua. In dynasty leagues, Whittington is a cut candidate.
