New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (back) said the back issue that caused him to miss the team's final two preseason games was a "minor thing" and he'll be ready for Week 1, per ESPN's Jordan Raanan. Nabers also missed time during training camp due to a shoulder issue and has been nursing a toe injury since his college days at LSU. However, Raanan writes that Nabers does not expect his ailments to prevent him from being himself when the season begins. The 22-year-old averaged 11.3 targets per game as a rookie in 2024 and should be among the league leaders in target share once again in 2025. As long as he stays on the field, Nabers is a clear WR1 in fantasy with overall WR1 upside in PPR-scoring formats.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (back, shoulder, toe) will return to practice on Tuesday and do some things, according to Evan Barnes of Newsday. It sounds as though Nabers will be pretty limited in his return to the practice field, but it's still good news for the 22-year-old with the 2025 regular season quickly approaching. Nabers has been battling a toe injury since his college days at LSU, and he also suffered a shoulder injury this summer before recently coming down with a back issue. While it's certainly something to watch, none of his three injuries are considered serious or anything that will keep him from suiting up for Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 7, against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Nabers caught an impressive 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie and is strong WR1 target in fantasy.

New York Giants Wide Receiver Malik Nabers (back) has not practiced in more than 11 days, as he deals with a minor back problem. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Giants characterized it as "normal camp tightness", but the team continues to play it safe with their second-year superstar. The Giants are scheduled for a walk-through on Monday and a single day of full practice on Tuesday before their final preseason game against the Patriots Thursday night at MetLife Stadium. Given this tight schedule, it's unlikely Nabers will see the field again anytime soon, as the Giants aim to ease him back to full health before their regular season opens on September 7. Nabers looks to follow up a brilliant rookie season, in which he caught over 100 passes despite missing two games. He is currently RotoBaller's WR5 and can be drafted with confidence.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (shoulder, toe) remains out of the team's joint practice with the New York Jets on Wednesday, according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post. It's been a week since Nabers last practiced, and he was also held out of the preseason opener. The 22-year-old former first-rounder from LSU has battled through a toe issue since his college days, but he also suffered a shoulder injury late in July. The Giants have already said that holding Nabers out of practices will be part of their plan to keep him healthy all year, so fantasy managers will want to get used to him being on the injury report, perhaps all season long. The Giants haven't provided many details on Nabers' injuries, but as things stand now, neither injury appears serious enough to keep him out for Week 1 of the regular season. Nabers is still a high-end WR1 target in fantasy.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (shoulder/toe) is not participating in the team's joint practice with the New York Jets on Tuesday, according to Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com. Nabers suffered a minor shoulder injury earlier in training camp and is also managing a toe injury he's been battling since college. Neither ailment is expected to keep him out of regular-season action. The 22-year-old earned 170 targets in 15 games as a rookie in 2024 and should be the focal point of the Giants' offense once again in 2025. Nabers is a high-end fantasy WR1 with a chance to be the overall WR1, particularly in PPR-scoring formats.
Aug 12, 2025 10:37 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers said it was "part of the plan" for him to miss the final few portions of training camp practice on Wednesday, per SNY's Connor Hughes. The Giants are trying to make sure Nabers is ready for Week 1 in early September. The 22-year-old second-year wideout has dealt with a toe injury off and on since college and also missed some time in camp with a minor shoulder injury, but he's not currently dealing with any specific injuries. We will continue to keep a close eye on Nabers' practice participation all year long, but it sounds like he could be held out of early-week practices for much of the year. The former sixth overall pick in 2024 proved right away that he's a WR1 in fantasy with a 109-1,204-7 line in 15 games (13 starts). It was even more impressive given the team's struggles at the QB position.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (shoulder) is expected to practice on Thursday. However, the former LSU standout could potentially be limited at times during the session. Head coach Brian Daboll said, "We'll put him out there and he'll do what he can do," and that the team "has a plan." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case he faces a setback later in training camp. Nabers left Tuesday's practice session early due to this shoulder injury. However, seeing him cleared to return in any capacity is a very positive sign. During his rookie season, the former sixth overall pick immediately flashed immense upside at the NFL level, tallying 1,204 yards and seven scores. He should be viewed as a high-end WR1 in all formats, entering the 2025 season.
Jul 31, 2025 10:19 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (shoulder) walked off the field from Tuesday's practice with the team's head trainer, according to Paul Schwartz of The New York Post. Schwartz reports that Nabers "might have tweaked his shoulder blocking on a running play." The severity of this injury is unclear at this point, but any significant missed time for Nabers would be a major concern for New York. The second-year wide receiver recorded 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games as a rookie in 2024. Nabers is the undisputed top weapon in the Giants' offense and profiles as a first-round fantasy selection in PPR leagues, provided he is healthy for the start of the regular season.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was once again the focal point of the team's offense during Sunday's training camp practice. Dan Duggan of The Athletic charted Nabers with five receptions on 10 completed passes by Russell Wilson. Nabers finished his rookie season with 165 targets, finishing behind only Ja'Marr Chase in that category despite missing two games. It's worth noting that Nabers has been managing a toe issue, but had dealt with it since college and wasn't slowed down by it during his rookie campaign. While the quarterback under center has changed, the game plan remains the same, and the 2025 Giants offense will once again run through Nabers. Ordinarily, there might be trepidation in taking pieces from a subpar offense, which the Giants project to be once more. Still, Nabers' unreal target numbers should have drafters feeling great about him as their first-round pick, and he could realistically challenge to be the overall WR1 this season.

The New York Daily News' Pat Leonard writes that New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll didn't exude confidence at training camp on Thursday when discussing the toe injury that wide receiver Malik Nabers is managing. Daboll wouldn't assuage concerns about Nabers' surgery or the day-to-day comments. It sounds like the 21-year-old's toe situation is fluid, and it could flare up at any moment. The second-year wideout is practicing to begin training camp this week, but don't be surprised if the Giants sit him out to protect him before the regular season. It's not exactly what fantasy managers want to hear for a player that is being taken in the first round in drafts. However, the good news is that it's something Nabers has dealt with since college, and it didn't slow him down at all in 2024, as he caught 109 of 170 targets for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in his rookie season.
Jul 24, 2025 12:51 PM EST
Connor Hughes of SNY reports that New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe) will participate in practice on Wednesday as the team kicks off training camp. The LSU product has been dealing with a toe injury since his time at college, although it didn't appear to hinder him during his standout rookie season. Head coach Brian Daboll noted in late May that the Giants were being cautious with Nabers, but it's encouraging to see him retake the field. The 21-year-old survived turmoil at quarterback in 2024 and should get better play there with Russell Wilson at the helm in 2025. Wilson's performance will dictate how long he starts, but even if the team turns to backup Jameis Winston, it wouldn't be the worst move for Nabers' fantasy value. He's a strong pick at the end of the first round.
Jul 23, 2025 9:52 AM EST
The Bergen Record's Art Stapleton reports that New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe) does not have an injury designation for the start of training camp this week and has avoided both the Physically Unable to Perform and Non-Football Injury lists. Nabers has been dealing with a toe injury since his college days at LSU, but it didn't really slow him down in 2024 in his rookie year with the G-Men on his way to a 109-1,204-7 line on a whopping 170 targets. The Giants aren't going to overwork the 21-year-old former first-rounder in training camp and the preseason so that his toe issue isn't a factor to open the 2025 campaign. While New York's quarterback situation isn't ideal with Russell Wilson entering the year as the starter, it's not as if the team's messy QB situation affected Nabers last year. He's a no-doubt, high-end WR1 in fantasy.

The New York Giants are "just playing it super cautious" with wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe) this offseason, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. Nabers missed organized team activities and mandatory minicamp with a toe injury that has bothered him since college, but the Giants have no concerns and he's expected to be ready for the start of training camp in late July. The 21-year-old former first-rounder didn't miss a single game in his rookie campaign in 2024 due to his toe ailment and finished as the WR7 in half-PPR scoring with 109 receptions on 170 targets for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games played. Those numbers are impressive on their own before considering the shaky QB play Nabers dealt with. Russell Wilson may not be much better in 2025, but Nabers should once again be heavily targeted and should be a safe WR1 target for fantasy managers entering his second year.
Jun 21, 2025 1:01 PM EST
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that there are no concerns with wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe) not being ready for training camp in late July. Nabers missed organized team activities this spring and is also sitting out of mandatory minicamp with a toe injury that has bothered him since college, but the team isn't very concerned, and Nabers should be fine for training camp, the preseason, and the start of his second NFL campaign this fall. The 21-year-old also dealt with his toe ailment in 2024, but it didn't slow him down on the field, as he had 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns on 170 targets despite a rough quarterback situation in the Big Apple. Russell Wilson may not prove to be much better under center, but he does excel with the deep ball still. Nabers has extremely high expectations going into Year 2 and should be treated as a top-10 fantasy wideout.
Jun 18, 2025 12:23 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers' injured toe is "good," according to head coach Brian Daboll, and he's "progressing." Nabers still isn't ready to practice in full yet, but he's participating in walkthrough during mandatory minicamp. The 21-year-old former sixth overall pick last year dealt with a toe injury in college and it also bothered him at times in his rookie campaign in 2024, but it never caused him to miss any games. The LSU product has not practiced at all this offseason, but he's expected to be a full-go for training camp this summer. Nabers impressed in his first year in the league and made the Pro Bowl after catching 109 passes on a whopping 170 targets for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games (13 starts) despite New York's terrible QB situation. Even though things might not be much better with Russell Wilson under center, Nabers is a clear top-10 fantasy wideout.
Jun 12, 2025 12:15 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe) is not practicing on Wednesday, according to Connor Hughes of SNY. The injury reportedly dates back to the receiver's time at LSU, and he just needs a rest day. Hughes' report suggests that the injury is not serious and that Nabers should return to practice soon. This is good news for the Giants and fantasy managers alike. Despite poor quarterback play, Nabers dominated during his rookie season, catching 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns through 15 games. He finished as the overall WR6 in PPR leagues, and he could presumably rank inside the top three in 2025 with a full season of Russell Wilson under center.
May 28, 2025 11:53 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers had five catches for 64 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He also found the end zone, bringing in a 45-yard toss from Drew Lock in the fourth quarter. The Giants are done until September. However, fantasy managers were likely satisfied with Nabers' overall statistical contributions, with the wideout ending his inaugural year by amassing 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. Without question, Nabers will see plenty of attention from fantasy managers heading into next season, although his outlook could improve even more if the Giants land a capable signal-caller during the offseason.
Jan 5, 2025 6:46 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 18 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie wideout was a limited participant in practice each of the last two days. This was likely just the Giants monitoring Nabers' reps, so fantasy managers can expect him to be out there this weekend. He hauled in seven of his eight targets for 171 yards and two touchdowns during last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. Fantasy managers can plug Nabers in as a WR1 against an Eagles defense that is resting most of their starters.
Jan 3, 2025 2:34 PM EST
According to Dan Salomone of Giants.com, New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe) logged a limited practice on Thursday. This is worth noting as Nabers was not on the injury report following Wednesday's initial practice session. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Nabers' status on Friday in case he faces another setback. The standout rookie carried a questionable tag into last weekend's game but was able to suit up. In this game, the LSU product set a season-high 171 yards with two touchdowns. Over his past six games, Nabers has seen at least eight targets in each contest and has even seen double-digit targets in four of them. If Nabers were to face a setback and be unable to play on Sunday, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton would see an increase in targets against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Jan 2, 2025 3:34 PM EST
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers caught seven of his eight targets for 171 yards and two scores in their victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Nabers found the back of the end zone in the opening quarter on a 31-yard pass from Drew Lock. Then in the fourth quarter, Nabers tallied his second touchdown, this time on a 51-yard TD reception. Nabers' eight targets and 171 yards paced all New York pass catchers. In addition this set a new career-high in yards in a single game. This was also only the third time this season the LSU product tallied over 100 receiving yards in a single contest. Despite having poor quarterback play, Nabers has enjoyed a fantastic rookie season as he caught at least seven passes in nine of his 14 games with six total touchdowns. Nabers remains an elite play in DFS next weekend despite facing a tough Philadelphia secondary.
