Jalen Nailor News
Saturday, September 26, 9:38 AM
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor has not done enough through two weeks to make himself a comfortable Week 3 option against New Orleans. Nailor has four catches for 36 yards on eight targets, and he played only 60% of the offensive snaps in each of the first two games. He is still listed as a starter opposite Tre Tucker, but the role has not produced much. Brock Bowers is also questionable after missing Friday's practice, and his return would add another target to an offense that already has several mouths to feed. The matchup itself is workable, with New Orleans allowing 204 passing yards per game through two weeks. Nailor sits at WR71 in RotoBaller's latest Week 3 rankings, which fits how difficult he is to trust right now. Unless the Raiders suddenly lean on him more heavily, Nailor belongs on fantasy benches in most leagues this week.

Ted Hurst III News
Friday, September 25, 3:46 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Ted Hurst III saw a season-high seven targets during last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns. The third-round rookie led the team in targets, but it didn't result much fantasy value. Hurst hauled in two of his seven targets for 27 yards in the loss. The hope is that his value will grow down the line as he gets more comfortable with quarterback Baker Mayfield. At the moment, Hurst doesn't offer a ton of weekly value. The Bucs have a crowded wide receiver room, and fellow wideout Jalen McMillan recently returned from injury. It's unclear how much Hurst will play once McMillan is back up to full speed. Fantasy managers should consider Hurst a WR4 for the upcoming matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
