Who Should I Start? Jalen Nailor or Josh Downs

The Las Vegas Raiders agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver Jalen Nailor on a three-year, $35 million deal that includes $23 million guaranteed, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Nailor had a bigger role the last two seasons for the Minnesota Vikings, combining for 57 catches on 95 targets for 858 yards and 10 touchdowns over 34 games (15 starts) the last two years. The 27-year-old won't be asked to be a top wideout in his new home, but he should at least be a top-three pass-catcher in Vegas, barring another big acquisition at the position in free agency. The former sixth-rounder's fantasy football arrow is definitely pointing up now that he should have a clearer path to consistent targets after being overshadowed by both Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison in Minnesota. Nailor's connection with the expected No. 1 overall pick, Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, will go a long way in determining how big a role he'll have in his new digs. For now, he's an interesting sleeper at wideout to consider this fall.
