Jalen Nailor Fantasy Stats

After missing his team's Week 5 loss to the New England Patriots with a concussion, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor has been cleared to return in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills. The 27-year-old has played a minimal role in his team's offense so far, recording five catches for 52 yards on 11 targets across four games. Nailor could have a favorable matchup against the Bills, who rank 31st in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,379) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (13) through five weeks. However, Nailor is buried on the Raiders pecking order for targets behind tight end Brock Bowers, wide receiver Tre Tucker, and running back Ashton Jeanty. Even in a game that could turn into a high-scoring affair, Nailor is hard for fantasy managers to trust as a starter in Week 6.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor (concussion) has cleared concussion protocol and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Nailor is back in action after missing last week's loss to the New England Patriots due to a concussion. He'll be back in the mix this weekend, but Nailor hasn't contributed much when healthy this season. Coming into Week 6, Nailor has recorded five receptions for 52 yards with zero touchdowns. His return is a positive for this offense, but Nailor doesn't offer much in terms of fantasy value right now.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor (concussion) was not seen at his team's practice on Wednesday, per Sam Warren of The Athletic. Nailor missed the Raiders' Week 5 loss to the New England Patriots with a concussion, and it appears his status for Las Vegas' Week 6 matchup against the Buffalo Bills could be in question as well. The 27-year-old has played a limited role in his team's offense to this point in 2026, recording five catches for 52 yards on 11 targets across four games. With Nailor sidelined in Week 5, Raiders wideout Cody White stepped into the team's WR2 role alongside WR1 Tre Tucker. Tucker could be a slightly more intriguing deep-league flex option for fantasy managers in Week 6 if Nailor remains out. Still, tight end Brock Bowers remains the only true must-start pass catcher in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said on Monday that he expects wide receiver Jalen Nailor (concussion) to practice this week after missing the Week 5 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday while being in the league's concussion protocol, according to Sam Warren of The Athletic. Meanwhile, the Raiders are also expecting receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. (hamstring) to "take another jump" as he enters Week 2 of his practice window to return from Injured Reserve. Reinforcements at the receiver position are on their way for the Raiders after back-to-back losses following a surprising 3-0 start to the season. The 27-year-old Nailor had not been a very big part of Kubiak's passing offense in four games before suffering a concussion, catching five of 11 targets for 52 yards and no touchdowns. He will be another option for veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins, potentially in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but fantasy managers are going to want to see something change to consider adding him off the waiver wire.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor (concussion) has officially been ruled out for the Week 5 game against the New England Patriots on Sunday on the road, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN. Nailor was unable to practice all week after he suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. It is more disappointment for the 27-year-old to begin his first year with the Raiders. The former sixth-rounder by the Minnesota Vikings in 2022 came into Vegas hoping to become a big part of their revamped offense. The Raiders' offense has been better, but Nailor has not helped much, catching only five passes for 52 yards on 11 targets. With Nailor out this weekend, Tre Tucker will operate as the team's leading receiver against a Patriots defense that will be missing star cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Cody White could fall into WR2 duties in Vegas with both Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton Jr. still on Injured Reserve. Nailor is rostered in only 7% of Yahoo leagues. His next chance to return from his concussion will come next Sunday, Oct. 18, at home against the Buffalo Bills.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor (concussion) was the only player on the team not present on Thursday during the media-viewing portion of practice, according to Sam Warren of The Athletic. Nailor suffered a concussion on Sunday in the loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, and he is looking unlikely to play this weekend when the team heads to New England to face the Patriots. He still has one more day to get back on the practice field, but as of right now, he is on the wrong side of questionable. The Raiders' offense has looked way better this year under veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins, but it has not been because of Nailor at all. The 27-year-old pass-catcher has only five receptions for 52 yards and has yet to find the end zone in his first year in Sin City. Nailor had one catch apiece in Weeks 2 and 3 and put up a donut for his fantasy managers in Week 4 after suffering a concussion. Tre Tucker will have a higher ceiling as the team's WR1 if Nailor is inactive this weekend, and it would also force Cody White and Malik Benson into bigger roles behind star tight end Brock Bowers.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday as the team begins to prepare for Week 5 against the New England Patriots, according to Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee. Nailor initially suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, and it forced him to miss part of the game. Now, he's at risk of missing all of next week's game against the Patriots if he doesn't clear concussion protocol in time. It's not often that players are able to clear the protocol in seven days, but it's not impossible. Fantasy managers should monitor the Raiders' practice reports going forward, especially when they release their game status designations on Friday. If Nailor can't suit up this week, Tre Tucker and Cody White would step into larger roles in the passing game.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Kansas City Chiefs with a concussion. Nailor did not draw a single target before sustaining the injury. Since catching three passes in Week 1, Nailor has brought in only two passes for a mere 25 yards. For the remainder of the contest, Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer, and Tre Tucker should operate as the top options for Kirk Cousins.

While Jalen Nailor operates as the No. 2 wide receiver on the depth chart for the Las Vegas Raiders, he has not yet provided any true value in fantasy football. Nailor, who has played 119 offensive snaps across three games, has totaled just five receptions (on 11 targets) for 52 yards (10.4 yards per catch) and zero touchdowns. It doesn't get any easier in Week 4, as Nailor faces a Kansas City Chiefs defense that ranks sixth in the NFL in passing yards per game allowed (178.3). With the recent return of tight end Brock Bowers, and with additional competition in the passing game from running back Ashton Jeanty (who leads the team in receptions with 13), wide receiver Tre Tucker (who leads the Raiders in receiving yards with 189) and tight end Michael Mayer, Nailor's targets remain a question mark. Nailor is currently rostered in just 8% of Yahoo leagues and is off the radar as RotoBaller's No. 77 wide receiver in Week 4. He can safely remain out of lineups this week.

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.
