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.

Dynasty Expectations Low for Troy Franklin

Thursday, April 30, 5:37 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin was one of the more hyped prospects coming out of Oregon and early in the pre-draft process heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. Most of that hype went by the wayside when he fell to the fourth round and Denver made him the 103rd overall pick, but he still had his believers in dynasty circles. After two inconsistent seasons, and with the Broncos continuing to add target competition, first by selecting Pat Bryant in the third round of the 2025 Draft and then by shipping out first and third-round picks for Jaylen Waddle, Franklin has fallen to WR73 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. Franklin has shown sporadic flashes on his way to 992 career yards and eight touchdowns, but the wide receiver room in Denver has grown crowded, and with three capable running backs in J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, and now fourth-round pick Jonah Coleman, consistent upside will be hard to come by in more of a complementary role.
