After free agency, early best-ball drafters took a 'follow the money' approach and made Nailor the highest-drafted Las Vegas receiver. Nailor signed a three-year, $35 million deal in March that included $23 million guaranteed. Thursday's WR deployment suggests that if you're going to throw a late-round dart at a Raiders receiver, Tucker is the preferred option.

Nailor's contract doesn't match preseason usage; best left undrafted.

Nailor signed a three-year, $35 million deal with $23 million guaranteed in March, making him the highest-drafted Las Vegas receiver in early best-ball drafts via 'follow the money' logic. However, preseason snap distribution (13 snaps vs. Benson's 14 and Tucker's absence) suggests he is not the preferred option. Nailor is probably best left undrafted in normal-sized 12-team, 16-18 round leagues.
