Chase Roberts

He has not appeared in a single game through five weeks of 2026, and there is no injury designation to explain it, which tells you he is simply buried. He sat out weeks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of 2026, all five, without a headline or a designation to show for any of it. Klint Kubiak and Andrew Janocko are both new to this staff, and the depth chart behind them has Chase Roberts ninth among LV receivers, with Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Jack Bech and Malik Benson all ahead of him. That is not a pecking order a rookie undrafted receiver climbs this season, and he is 25.6 years old on opening day, so there is no developmental year argument hiding in there either.

The target situation never left a lane anyway. Brock Bowers took 24% of LV's 2025 targets and Tre Tucker 19%, so 42% of the passing game was spoken for before anyone else ate. The offense itself gives a newcomer little room to force the issue: LV ran 33.8 seconds a play in 2025, threw on 58% of situation-neutral plays, and won 3 games doing it.

We expected just 1 game from him all season, our projection came in at 1.1 points for 2026, and we ranked him WR204 on our board, none of which has moved. His bye in week 13 of 2026 is still ahead, which is the only date on his calendar worth circling, and it is for the wrong reason.

If a headline ever changes his standing, this page will say so. Until then he is dead weight. Let him go and keep the spot open for a receiver actually playing.
