What It Means:

Whalen also played ahead of Switzer in the Raiders' preseason opener, although the latter scored a touchdown. The two have seen most of the work in the slot, but if 33-year-old Jordy Nelson goes down at any point during the year, either Whalen or Switzer would likely see an expanded role.

Switzer is the WR134 in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings. Whalen is outside the top-200.
