    Raiders WR Jalen Nailor caught 1-of-3 targets for 22 yards in Thursday’s preseason game against the Texans.

    Both Nailor and WR Jack Bech played tonight while WR Tre Tucker took the night off. Bech failed to earn a target and played into the fifth drive. Nailor called it a night after the third drive. The Raiders’ top-three wide receivers appear to be Tucker, Nailor and Bech, in that order. Tucker might warrant matchup-based FLEX treatment in 12-team leagues.

    Nailor suffered a concussion against the Chiefs in Week 4 and starts out the week not practicing. This indicates he is on the wrong side of questionable for Week 5 against the Patriots. Fellow WR Cody White (ankle) was limited as well, though Dont’e Thornton (hamstring) returned to practice, giving the Raiders some reinforcement with Nailor still in concussion protocol.

    Tucker’s longest catch came on a 23-yard reception late in the fourth quarter as the Raiders looked to drive and tie up the game. Had the replay officials called for a review of the play in time, the catch likely would have been overturned, but the play was upheld, much to the disappointment of the Chiefs and head coach Andy Reid. The eight targets Tucker saw in this one set a new season high. He’s totaled 44 or fewer yards in three of four games this season and will be hard to trust as anything more than a dart-throw WR4 in Week 5 against the Patriots.
  • LV Wide Receiver #9
    Nailor took a hard hit from Chiefs S Nohl Williams in the second quarter and was forced to go to the sideline to be evaluated. The team has now announced that Nailor will not be returning for Sunday’s game. Nailor will end the day with zero receptions on zero targets and will need to clear concussion protocol if he hopes to return in Week 5 against the Patriots.
  • LV Wide Receiver #18
    He’ll miss at least the next four weeks. Bech had five catches for 48 yards and a touchdown in the first two weeks of the season, but played just 11 snaps in Week 3 before fracturing his forearm. The Raiders signed Cody White — he of the three touchdowns in the last two weeks — to the active roster as his replacement.
  • LV Wide Receiver #9
    Nailor picked up on first down on the Raiders’ opening drive after going in motion and running a crossing route. Raiders QB Kirk Cousins was off-target on his other two throws to Nailor. He does not need to be rostered in 12-team leagues.
  • LV Wide Receiver #1
    Tucker had a bigger impact in real life than he did in fantasy. On the plus side, he helped set up a field goal and a touchdown, first by finding the soft spot in the Saints’ zone coverage in the two-minute drill. Later, his 15-yard gain on a deep crossing route helped set up the Raiders. He also committed a holding penalty, which erased a short gain for RB Ashton Jeanty. Tucker is a WR4/FLEX against the Chiefs next week.
  • LV Wide Receiver #18
    Bech reportedly fractured his forearm against the Saints. Bech earned an end zone target on the Raiders’ fourth drive. The pass was overthrown and ruled incomplete, but Bech was hit by a defender late, resulting in a personal foul. The Raiders accepted it, erasing Bech’s target from the box score along the way. He finished the game with zero statistics and will likely miss a few weeks due to injury.
  • LV Wide Receiver #18
    Bech got in the end zone last week but was still held to three catches for 23 yards. Without a touchdown to his name in Week 2, there wasn’t much fantasy production to be had. Bech is the WR3 on an offense centered around Ashton Jeanty and eventually Brock Bowers. He is not on the fantasy radar for Week 3.
  • LV Wide Receiver #9
    Nailor caught three passes for 27 yards on five targets last week. His role shrank this time around with Tre Tucker erupting for 119 yards and a score. It will be hard for him to see more work in Week 3 if Brock Bowers is back. He is buried in the WR6 ranks ahead of the Raiders’ upcoming game versus the Saints.
  • LV Wide Receiver #1
    Kirk Cousins got the deep ball going in this game after settling for mostly check-downs in Week 1. Tucker caught two passes of 40+ yards, the first of which was a second-quarter touchdown. He also tied Ashton Jeanty with a team-high seven targets, so it wasn’t just a one-off deep shot for the veteran wideout. Brock Bowers is expected to return next week, meaning Tucker’s target share should take a hit the next time we see him. Even if he is relegated to field-stretching duties in Week 3, Tucker will remain a high-ceiling FLEX bet versus the Saints.

    Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Love was listed as a limited practice participant after he tweaked his ankle in the Cardinals’ Week 4 loss to the Giants. Though he seemingly seized command of Arizona’s backfield in Week 3, Tyler Allgeier was heavily involved in Week 4 as Love hurt his ankle. He was already nursing his other ankle heading into the season and may see limited touches again with this latest tweak. Love is still trending to play Week 5 against the Lions but may sit back on the RB2/3 borderline as his ankle heals.

    Seahawks RB George Holani (ribs) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Holani was listed as a limited practice participant due to a rib injury on Wednesday. The 26-year-old operated as a passing-down backup to Emanuel Wilson in Week 4 with Jadarian Price out. Unless he misses practice later this week, he is still on track to play in Week 5, though Holani does not have a large enough role to achieve fantasy relevance.

    Broncos CB Patrick Surtain (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Neither Surtain or Riley Moss (ribs) practiced on Wednesday. Head coach Sean Payton said the Broncos don’t anticipate placing Surtain on injured reserve. The injuries to both corners look to be shorter-term; Surtain is week-to-week while Moss’ return timeline is not disclosed yet. Both are on the wrong side of questionable for Week 5 against the Chargers.

    Chargers OL Trevor Penning (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Penning suffered a concussion in the Chargers’ Week 4 loss and is still in the protocol to start the week. Also not practicing was G Kayode Awosika, who has missed multiple games with a fibula injury. Both are in jeopardy of missing Week 5, dealing serious blow to Justin Herbert’s offensive line.

    Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (chest) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    In addition to Johnston, TE Charlie Kolar (forearm) and WR Brenen Thompson (quad) were also limited. Johnston has played in every game this season, but pops up on the practice report with a chest issue on Wednesday. He is not yet in danger of missing Week 5, barring setbacks later in the week. Neither Thompson nor Kolar have played since Week 2 but both have a chance to return this week against the Broncos. With Ladd McConkey (foot) not practicing, Johnston may have fantasy value as the Chargers’ No. 1 wideout this week.

    Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Though head coach Jim Harbaugh ambiguously said we would get McConkey in practice, the 24-year-old is officially listed as a non-participant on Wednesday. Harbaugh also previously stated McConkey will be day-to-day after he re-aggravated the foot injury in Week 4. Ultimately, it’s unclear if McConkey will play this week given he generally pushes through injuries with little practice time, but a re-aggravation could lead to a game missed this time around. Stay tuned for practice reports later in the week to provide clarity on his Week 5 status.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Chargers OT Joe Alt (neck) is expected to miss Week 5 against the Broncos.

    An already disappointing season continues to tumbler for the Chargers. LT Rashawn Slater (ankle) is already out this week and Alt will join him on the injury report. Neither starting tackle has been able to stay healthy over the course of their careers, making life difficult for QB Justin Herbert. Though Alt is expected to miss this week against the Broncos, Rapoport adds that there are “no plans” for him to go on injured reserve.

    Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Charbonnet is starting to ramp up to a return from his torn ACL last season. The Seahawks opened up his practice window and he was limited on Wednesday. He is already ruled out for Week 5, but a Week 6 return is not out of the picture just yet.

    49ers EDGE Nick Bosa (knee/calf) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Bosa has yet to return to practice since injuring his calf two weeks ago in practice. He is listed with both knee and calf injuries and is seemingly not close to returning to in-game action. Bosa will need to practice before we can consider him ready to go for Week 5 or beyond.

    Texans EDGE Will Anderson (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Anderson popped up on the injury report with an ankle issue to open the week. As one of the league’s elite pass-rushers, the 25-year-old is a key cog to the Texans defense. He did not practice Wednesday, putting his Week 5 status in jeopardy. Anderson still has chances to practice later this week and play against the Titans, but any time missed puts the 0-4 Texans in an even deeper hole.
