Outlook Jalen Nailor
New-Look Raiders Offense Paves Way for Late-Round Value
After signing a three-year contract this offseason, Jalen Nailor steps into Las Vegas with a clear path to meaningful slot snaps. Operating alongside tight end Brock Bowers and outside wideouts Jack Bech and Tre Tucker, Nailor gives veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins a seasoned intermediate target.
Coming off consecutive 400-yard campaigns with Minnesota, the 27-year-old is positioned for a career-best workload. Our projections forecast 42 receptions for 567 yards and four touchdowns on 73 targets, cementing him as an efficient secondary weapon who can punch above his modest career numbers.
Draft momentum is quietly building as his ADP has climbed from 168 in late July into the 158 to 161 range. With his roster rate ticking up over 15%, our models view his shifting market cost as a viable late-round dart throw in full PPR formats.

Outlook Ja'Kobi Lane
Training Camp Breakout Makes Rookie Flier an Intriguing Late-Round Target
Baltimore's third-round rookie Ja'Kobi Lane has turned heads in training camp with consistent highlight-reel catches, even drawing comparisons to Michael Thomas from offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. While listed behind Devontez Walker on the perimeter depth chart, Lane's strong hands and contested-catch ability give him a real path to carving out rotational snaps alongside Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.
In a run-first offense driven by Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, target volume remains Lane's biggest hurdle. Our models project him for 30 receptions, 459 receiving yards, and three touchdowns on 50 targets (96.6 fantasy points). He does not offer immediate starting utility, but his upside profile warrants attention if injuries strike Baltimore's pass-catching corps.
Lane's ADP has steadily climbed from outside the top 250 into the 240s as his camp highlights gain steam, accompanied by an uptick in rostered percentage. At his current near-free draft price, Lane represents an intriguing zero-risk stash who could outplay his cost if he claims a regular role in 1.0 PPR leagues.
