​The Las Vegas Raiders’ passing offense ranked 28th in the league last season, averaging 167.7 yards per game. It was a collective issue on offense, with the quarterbacks and offensive line also deserving blame for the lack of success. There’s no denying that the wide receivers need to be better in 2026 though.The Raiders made one splash in free agency at wide receiver. Elsewhere, they’re relying on head coach Klint Kubiak and new quarterbacks Fernando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins to drastically improve the aerial attack. Taking everything into consideration, we’ve ranked the Raiders’ projected top five wide receivers from best to worst.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTre Tucker led all Raiders pass catchers in receiving last year with 696 yards and five touchdowns. The former Cincinnati wideout is a speedster who possesses even more potential in Coach Kubiak’s offensive scheme. Tucker should continue being a reliable outlet for the Raiders’ quarterbacks while possibly taking his game to new heights in Kubiak’s system.The Raiders signed Jalen Nailor in free agency to a multi-year contract worth more than $11 million per season despite him never topping 444 yards in a single season throughout his four-year rookie deal. The belief is that getting Nailor away from the Minnesota Vikings, who have Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison at the position, will make him significantly more productive. He’ll likely see a career-high amount of targets in 2026, and possesses the athletic traits needed to take advantage of his opportunities.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSophomore Jack Bech needs to be significantly better after producing just 20 catches for 224 yards and zero touchdowns as a rookie. The production did not meet the investment of a top-60 pick. Bech will possess every opportunity to be the starting slot receiver, so expectations are far higher.Dont’e Thornton Jr. was another 2025 rookie receiver who disappointed, albeit with less expectations as a fourth-round pick. He was raw coming out of Tennessee and struggled with the technical aspects of playing the position as a rookie. Anything the Raiders get from Thornton as a sophomore would be considered a bonus.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMalik Benson was the Raiders’ sixth-round pick during the 2026 NFL draft. Day Three rookies rarely contribute much, but he’s an intriguing talent who ran 4.37 at the NFL Combine after producing 719 yards at Oregon in 2025. Benson is a former JUCO prospect who had an inspiring pre-draft story after attending four different colleges.This article originally appeared on Raiders Wire: Ranking the Raiders’ projected 5 wide receivers from best to worst
