It wouldn't shock me at all if Jalen Nailor steps up as the clear number two option for the Raiders this season behind Brock Bowers...his per-route numbers are QUITE INTERESTING...he was sixth-best in separation and 13th in route win rate.
STACKED’s take
Nailor projects as WR65 with elite separation metrics; could emerge as Raiders' WR2.
Nailor projects as WR65 despite ECR of WR75, with 83.8 projected FPTS. JJ Zachariason notes it wouldn't shock him if Nailor steps up as the clear number two option for the Raiders behind Brock Bowers; he isn't facing stiff competition from Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, or Dont'e Thornton. While last year Nailor posted only 10.3% target share, 1.19 yards per route run, and 10.8% first-read share, his per-route numbers are quite interesting. Among 109 qualifying receivers, he ranked 33rd in separation and 51st in route win rate. As a perimeter receiver (141 routes), he ranked sixth-best in separation and 13th in route win rate. Nailor is positioned as a final-pick draft value that could pay dividends and become a weekly WR3 or flex.
