See the full story · 1 sourcesOnly 24 times since 1998 has a team not produced a top-60 fantasy WR. That’s a 2.7% clip. It’s highly unusual, and yet currently no Raiders wideouts are ranked in the top 60. The odds are great that at least one will be, at minimum, somewhat fantasy relevant. The odds are good that at least one will be consistently fantasy relevant. Who has the best odds of becoming the Raiders’ biggest WR fantasy bargain?
Somehow, Jalen Nailor leads this corps with a WR62 ADP. The 27-year-old former sixth-round pick took a backseat to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison in Minnesota. Now he has a shot to be the alpha.
Tre Tucker isn’t far behind at WR68. The 2023 third-round pick has had his share of breakout performances, including a 20.7-point effort as a rookie, a 22.6-point outing the following season, and a memorable 40.9-point outburst last September.
Jack Bech (WR79 ADP) was a 2025 second-round pick who served primarily as bench fodder until a few weeks after Las Vegas traded #1, WR Jakobi Meyers. Given a more prominent role, Bech flashed just enough to enter 2026 as an intriguing flyer.
Dont’e Thornton (WR187 ADP)) and rookie Malik Benson (WR189) bring up the rear. That doesn’t mean they’re irrelevant. I’ve already gone on record as being high on Benson, particularly in dynasty. But they’ll need to star in camp and in preseason games to carve out a starting role.
Among these five guys, I believe Nailor has the lowest ceiling. The market is leaning into him because he’s a familiar name. I believe he’ll top out at around WR70 if things break right. The bigger boom can be found with Tucker and Bech. The former might get the first crack at the alpha job, while the latter probably has the highest WR ceiling on the team.
Of course, both guys are essentially undraftable based on ADP. In Best Ball, snagging Tucker and Bech late would give managers a solid shot at a few big boom performances and several low-double-digit efforts. In regular leagues, keep an eye on how Bech looks these next few weeks, and be ready to pounce if he moves up the depth chart.
