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 through the air... his per-route numbers are QUITE INTERESTING. Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, he was 33rd in separation and 51st in route win rate. As a perimeter receiver among the same sample, his numbers look even better (141 routes) as he was sixth-best in separation and 13th in route win rate.
STACKED’s take
Nailor's elite perimeter separation (6th) and route win rate (13th) support WR3/flex upside as Raiders' WR2.
Jalen Nailor is projected as WR67 (108.5 FPTS) versus ECR WR73, a +6 differential. The source notes 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 through the air.' Nailor isn't facing stiff competition from Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, Dont'e Thornton, and company. Last year, Nailor had only a 10.3% target share, 1.19 yards per route run, and a 10.8% first-read share. However, when digging deeper into per-route numbers, they are 'QUITE INTERESTING.' Among 109 qualifying receivers, he ranked 33rd in separation and 51st in route win rate. As a perimeter receiver among the same sample (141 routes), his numbers look even better: sixth-best in separation and 13th in route win rate. The source characterizes Nailor as 'the final pick in a draft that could pay dividends and become a weekly WR3 or flex if it all works out.'
