Las Vegas Raiders WR rankings: Projected top five from best to worst

The Las Vegas Raiders’ passing offense ranked 28th in the NFL last season, averaging 167.7 yards per game.

How bad was the Raiders’ passing offense in 2025?

The Raiders finished 14th in the American Football Conference with a 3-14 record, on a W1 streak. Quarterbacks and the offensive line shared blame for the aerial struggles. Wide receivers now must step up in 2026 after a dismal year.

Who leads the projected WR group?

Tre Tucker led all Raiders pass catchers in 2025 with 696 yards and five touchdowns. The former Cincinnati speedster fits Klint Kubiak’s scheme. Tucker should remain a reliable outlet while possibly unlocking more potential in the new system.

What’s the plan for Jalen Nailor?

Las Vegas signed Jalen Nailor to a multi-year deal worth over $11 million per season. Nailor never topped 444 yards in a single year with Minnesota. The Raiders hope a bigger role in 2026 unlocks his athletic traits.

Can Jack Bech rebound after a rough rookie year?

Jack Bech managed just 20 catches for 224 yards and zero touchdowns in 2025. The top-60 pick underperformed. A bounce-back year is expected as he vies for the starting slot role.

What’s next for Dont’e Thornton Jr.?

Dont’e Thornton Jr. struggled as a rookie after being a fourth-round pick. The Tennessee product was raw and fumbled the technical side of playing receiver. A sophomore leap would count as a win.

Who is Malik Benson and what’s his path?

Malik Benson was a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Day Three rookies rarely contribute early, but Benson ran a 4.37 at the Combine. He piled up 719 yards at Oregon in 2025 after a JUCO route that included four colleges.

The Raiders open against the Miami Dolphins on September 13, 2026.
