Gets three-year deal with Raiders
Nailor agreed to terms on a three-year, $35 million contract with Las Vegas on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Nailor suited up for all 17 regular-season games with the Vikings in 2024 and 2025, totaling a combined 57-858-10 receiving line (95 targets) in that span. The 2022 sixth-round pick now lands in one of the few wide receiver corps in the league where he projects as a potential starter rather than a complementary option, joining Tre Tucker, Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton. Of course, tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is solidified as the No. 1 pass-catching option for the Raiders, but Nailor looks set to handle a significant role for Las Vegas' future quarterback, with the team slated to release Geno Smith and presumably select a rookie signal-caller at No. 1 overall in April's draft.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2024
2023
2022
Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell has repeatedly praised Nailor since the team took him in the sixth round of the 2022 Draft, but it wasn't until last season that the young wideout got his big chance. After injuries limited him to six games in 2023, Nailor stayed healthy for all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and served as Minnesota's No. 3 receiver for the entire year. It wasn't a high-volume job, but Nailor made the most of his 42 targets, catching 28 passes for 414 yards and six touchdowns. Despite the strong showing, there's no guarantee of more opportunities this season, as the Vikings still have WRs Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison and now have added Adam Thielen and rookie third-round pick Tai Felton. Addison is suspended for the first three games, but Nailor has a hand injury threatening his availability for the same period.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top-30 UFA per Popper
Nailor is ranked 29th among available free agents by Daniel Popper of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Popper believes Nailor has the skill set to take a big step forward in a different environment, as the wide receiver dealt with poor quarterback play in 2025 with the Vikings while competing for targets with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Nailor still managed to post a career-high 444 receiving yards despite those factors working against him. He played primarily in the slot for Minnesota but has the skill set to shift outside on occasion as well.
