Outlook Jalen Nailor
Jalen Nailor vs MIA — Starting Role in Las Vegas Debut
Jalen Nailor enters the regular season healthy and slotted as a starting outside receiver opposite Tre Tucker. After joining the Raiders in free agency, he reunites with Kirk Cousins in an offense also featuring Brock Bowers. Nailor earned perimeter duties and should be on the field plenty for the home opener.
From a fantasy standpoint, Nailor is rostered in 22% of leagues with virtually no starting footprint. Our weekly projection expects around 33 receiving yards on roughly four targets (7.9 fantasy points). With an undefined target hierarchy outside of Bowers, fantasy managers should keep him on the bench until consistent volume materializes.

Outlook Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks vs CHI — Soreness Clouds Season Opener
Brooks enters Week 1 questionable while managing practice soreness that kept him working with trainers early in the week. Head coach Dave Canales has remained optimistic regarding his availability against the Bears, but Carolina's backfield touches remain uncertain with Chuba Hubbard also nursing an injury. While listed second on the depth chart, Brooks could see immediate work if cleared, making late-week practice reports essential to monitor.
Rostered in 98% of leagues but started in only 21%, fantasy managers are approaching his return cautiously. Our weekly projection slots Brooks for around 10 carries, 44 rushing yards, and two catches (9.7 fantasy points). Between the missed practice reps and a shared workload, Brooks profiles as a risky flex option best kept on benches until his usage stabilizes.
