New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers hauled in seven receptions for 68 yards on 14 targets in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Despite leading the team in targets, Nabers could only secure half of them, averaging 9.7 yards per reception with a long of 21 yards. The inefficiency highlighted the struggles of Drew Lock under center, as the Giants' passing attack failed to generate consistent production. Nabers' 10.3 fantasy points were serviceable, but his ceiling remains capped in an offense plagued by quarterback inconsistency and an inability to sustain drives.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee, foot) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie wideout was limited to start the week and end it, but will suit up this weekend. Possibly, the Giants were just giving the 21-year-old some extra rest considering he's dealing with a few lingering issues. Quarterback Drew Lock (heel, elbow) has been cleared as well, so that should increase Nabers' fantasy value. Nabers hauled in 10 receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown last week. Fantasy managers can go ahead and plug Nabers in as a WR2 for a plus-matchup against the Falcons secondary.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers was a bright spot in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, showcasing his talent despite the team's struggles. Nabers hauled in 10 of 14 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown, including a 23-yard reception, averaging 8.2 yards per catch. Even with Tim Boyle, the fourth quarterback to play for the Giants this season, taking over in the second half, Nabers maintained his outstanding form and was a reliable target throughout the game. His ability to produce in a challenging offensive environment underlined his growing importance to the Giants' passing attack, and he finished the day with an impressive 19.2 fantasy points.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip) has been cleared to play ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Nabers has been dealing with a hip issue since last week, but still ended up suiting up last weekend. He hauled in five of his 10 targets for 79 yards in the loss to the New Orleans Saints. Nabers appeared to be fine during that game but was limited in practice to start this week. Quarterback Drew Lock (elbow) is doubtful to play, so Tommy DeVito is likely to be under center. Regardless, Nabers should still be a reliable fantasy option for this weekend.
Dec 13, 2024 2:48 PM EST
For the second straight day this week, New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Nabers was limited in two practices last week before missing practice last Friday, but the 21-year-old first-rounder out of LSU still played in the Week 14 loss to the New Orleans Saints and played 93 percent of the offensive snaps while catching five of his 10 targets for 79 yards. Barring a setback the next few days, we're pretty confident the rookie pass-catcher will be active to take on the Baltimore Ravens this weekend in a plus matchup. Fantasy managers aren't thrilled with New York's QB situation -- Tommy DeVito is expected to make his second start on Sunday -- but Nabers still has WR2 upside. Despite New York's putrid offense, Nabers enters Week 15 as the WR18 in PPR scoring, and his 126 targets on the year rank fourth among all receivers.
Dec 12, 2024 4:00 PM EST
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip) practiced on the side on Wednesday. At the very least, Nabers will be listed as limited on the first practice report of Week 15. The first-round pass-catcher missed practice last Friday with a hip-flexor injury and was questionable to play in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints, but he ended up suiting up and caught five of his 10 targets for a healthy 79 yards while playing all but three offensive snaps. As long as the 21-year-old wideout doesn't suffer a setback with his hip in practice this week, he should be a good bet to play this Sunday versus the Baltimore Ravens. Nabers is expected to be taking passes from quarterback Tommy DeVito this weekend. In the loss to the Buccaneers on Nov. 24 with DeVito at the helm, Nabers caught six passes for 64 yards. Fantasy managers should keep Nabers in their lineups as long as he's active.
Dec 11, 2024 1:50 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers delivered a solid performance in Sunday's 14-11 loss to the New Orleans Saints, recording five receptions for 79 yards on 10 targets. Nabers tied for the team lead in receptions and averaged an impressive 15.8 yards per catch, including a critical 23-yard grab on the final drive to set up a potential game-tying field goal that was unfortunately blocked. Earlier in the fourth quarter, he added a crucial two-point conversion reception to bring the Giants within three points with 4:11 left. While he didn't find the end zone, Nabers' 12.4 fantasy points highlighted his role as a reliable and dynamic option in an offense that struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
Dec 8, 2024 6:12 PM EST
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin, hip) is officially active for Sunday's tilt against the New Orleans Saints in Week 14. Nabers was a mid-week addition to the Week 14 injury report and was limited in Thursday's practice before picking up a DNP on Friday. The 21-year-old first-rounder out of LSU has been pushing to play this week and will be active, but a limited role could be on tap, giving him bust potential against the Saints due to a lingering groin injury and a hip-flexor ailment. Fantasy managers in DFS contests should probably be looking to fade him, but those in single-year leagues may have no choice but to roll with Nabers with six teams on bye in Week 14. If Nabers doesn't see the field as much as normal, wideouts Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton figure to be the primary beneficiaries of quarterback Drew Lock's targets.
Dec 8, 2024 11:52 AM EST
The New York Giants have no plans to shut down wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin) despite being limited from playoff contention, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Nabers has been one of the best rookies in the NFL this season, ranking as the overall WR12 in fantasy football with his 75 catches, 740 yards, and three touchdowns through 10 games. The LSU product has shown that he can post top-tier fantasy results regardless of poor quarterback play in New York or tough matchups. Fantasy managers will be pleased to hear that Nabers won't be shut down and should be available to them for the final stretch of the season.
Dec 8, 2024 8:20 AM EST
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip) "will try to play" on Sunday against the Saints. However, Schefter added that even if the wideout is on the field, it "would be more of a limited role." He injured his hip flexor and didn't participate in Friday's practice. But it at least sounds like there's a good chance Nabers will shed his questionable tag and get out there in Week 14. With that in mind, the rookie will be hard to trust if he plays even with a favorable matchup on the horizon, considering the possibility of a limited role would significantly cap his fantasy potential.
Dec 8, 2024 2:22 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip) is currently considered questionable ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Nabers was limited in practice on Thursday after suffering a hip flexor injury. As a result, Nabers sat out of Friday's practice session. It sounds like the team is taking it day-by-day, so fantasy managers might have to wait until closer on Sunday for more information on his status. The absence of Nabers would make Darius Slayton a much more appealing streaming option. Both Wan'Dale Robinson and Slayton would have flex appeal if Nabers is forced to sit out.
Dec 6, 2024 2:45 PM EST
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll told assembled media that rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip flexor) will not practice on Friday ahead of the Giants' game against New Orleans. The rookie from LSU missing Friday's practice is not a positive development, so it will be worth checking to see how the Giants designate him on the official injury report. At 2-10, the Giants' year is already lost, though Nabers has been by far their best player and a reliable fantasy option. Against a similarly bad Saints defense, Nabers is a high-end WR2, but he'll have to be healthy enough to play first.
Dec 6, 2024 11:50 AM EST
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin) was added to the Week 14 injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited practice participant. Mid-week additions to the injury report aren't usually good, putting Nabers' status in doubt for Sunday's contest against the New Orleans Saints. How much the first-rounder is able to do at practice on Friday will ultimately give us a better idea of his availability this weekend. The 21-year-old LSU product has become less interesting in fantasy now that quarterback Daniel Jones is gone, but he did catch eight of 13 targets for 69 yards while working with QB Drew Lock in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. However, Nabers has had fewer than 70 receiving yards now in four straight games. If he's out or limited against the Saints, both Wan'Dale Robinson could be heavily targeted, with Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt seeing bigger roles as well.
Dec 5, 2024 3:48 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was the focal point of the passing game in Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, leading the team with 13 targets, eight receptions, and 69 receiving yards. His 18-yard grab was the longest of the day for the Giants, though his average of 8.6 yards per catch reflected the short-yardage nature of his opportunities. Nabers had a 29-yard fourth-quarter reception wiped out by a holding penalty, adding to a frustrating day that also included two drops. Despite these setbacks, his 11.3 fantasy points underline what you get as a floor with Nabers. Managers should remain optimistic about his consistent involvement in the Giants' offense, even amid some missed opportunities.
Nov 28, 2024 11:40 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers heads into the Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup against the Dallas Cowboys after leading the team with six receptions for 64 yards on nine targets in a tough Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay. Averaging 17.44 FPPG this season (9th among WRs), Nabers has been a consistent fantasy contributor with 671 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 103 targets. Dallas offers a middling matchup for receivers, ranking 21st against fantasy WRs and allowing 15 passing TDs this season. While their pass defense is 18th overall (214.9 passing yards per game), Nabers called the team out this past week about not getting him the ball enough. The squeaky wheel should get the grease, so look for Nabers to get targets early and often this week. The only question mark is at quarterback, as it may be Tommy Devito or Drew Lock.
Nov 28, 2024 1:22 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers led the team with six receptions for 64 yards on nine targets in Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Averaging 10.7 yards per catch with a 21-yard long, Nabers provided a bright spot in an otherwise sluggish offense that managed 192 passing yards and trailed 23-0 at halftime with a mere 45 yards of total offense. Despite his steady volume, Nabers' fantasy upside is capped by the Giants' quarterback situation, with Tommy Devito under center and the possibility of Drew Lock stepping in. While his 9.4 fantasy points are serviceable, Nabers' production may be inconsistent unless the offense stabilizes and generates more scoring opportunities.
Nov 25, 2024 12:34 AM EST
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin) is playing in Week 12 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, according to a source. Nabers missed practice on Friday due to a groin injury and was listed as questionable, but he said in the locker room following practice that day that he expected to play, and he will indeed be active. Fantasy manager should keep him locked into their starting lineups this weekend as the team's top wideout. However, expectations may need to be tempered in his first start with quarterback Tommy Devito taking over for Daniel Jones, who was waived on Friday. The matchup against Tampa is a nice one, as the Bucs defense has allowed the fifth-most half-PPR points to opposing receivers through 11 weeks in 2024. Nabers needs to be locked in as a WR1 in fantasy this weekend as the Giants look to turn their season around.
Nov 24, 2024 11:32 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin) is expected to play in Week 12 despite being listed as questionable, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Nabers is slated to face off against the New York Giants on Sunday. He has appeared in eight games this season, catching 61 passes for 607 yards and three touchdowns. Fantasy managers should treat him as a high-end fantasy WR2 despite potential lingering effects from his groin issue this week.
Nov 24, 2024 8:13 AM EST
After coming down with a groin injury in Friday's practice, New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 12 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, he told ESPN New York's Jordan Raanan in the locker room that he intends to play. While it's good news that the 21-year-old is feeling good enough to say he intends to play this weekend, the ultimate decision on Sunday will come down to the coaching staff. Nabers' fantasy value could also be taking a pretty big hit with quarterback Tommy Devito taking over under center moving forward. The bottom line is that fantasy managers need to have a plan in place in case Nabers is ruled out Sunday morning. In his last four games, Nabers has 26 catches on 42 targets for 221 yards and no scores. If he's unable to go or is limited, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton (concussion) would see more work.
Nov 22, 2024 3:07 PM EST
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin) was not seen during Friday's practice, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Duggan reported that the LSU standout is dealing with the same groin issue he had earlier in the season during Week 7. However, Nabers was able to suit up that week and did not miss any time due to it. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status throughout the weekend in case he faces another setback. The former first-round pick has shown elite upside throughout his rookie campaign, as he has averaged an impressive 17.4 PPR points per game while playing on a struggling offensive unit. If Nabers can suit up this weekend, fantasy managers should feel confident starting him in all formats as a low-end WR1.
