Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Malik Nabers

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught three of his five targets for 43 yards during Sunday's Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Brown had a quieter start to the playoffs, but he eventually came on strong with nine catches, 139 yards, and two touchdowns over his final two contests. The 27-year-old has shown an ability to produce in a crowded offense, compiling 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns in the regular season despite fighting to earn opportunities over stars like Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert. There are certainly many mouths to feed in Philadelphia, but Brown has shown that he can be the primary receiving option en route to ranking as a strong WR1 for fantasy purposes.

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.
