55 seconds agoLas Vegas Raiders wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson looked solid in the Raiders' final preseason game, catching three passes for 35 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 24-24 tie with the San Francisco 49ers. While that performance increases his chances of making the final roster, fantasy managers should temper their expectations. Even if Wilkerson secures a spot, he likely won't be higher than fifth or sixth on the list. On the Raiders' offense, that means minimal regular-season opportunities unless he gets injured several more times. His preseason touchdown shows some red zone potential, but Wilkerson's fantasy relevance will be severely limited as he faces established targets like Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers. At best, he's a name to remember for deep dynasty leagues or as a potential midseason waiver option if injuries decimate the Raiders' receiver group. Currently, Wilkerson is under the radar in all but the deepest fantasy formats.—Jay Skadooley – RotoBaller
