Malik Nabers News
Tuesday, September 8, 5:44 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers sounds like he will be "good to go for Sunday night," according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. Nabers is coming back from a torn ACL that ended his 2025 season after four games, but it looks like he'll be ready to play in Week 1. Last year, he had 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns before his injury after an impressive rookie year with 1,204 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games, despite iffy QB play. This year, he'll work with Jaxson Dart as the team's top receiver under new head coach John Harbaugh and new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. The team added wide receiver Darnell Mooney and tight end Isaiah Likely, but Nabers should remain the focal point of the offense and be set for as large a target share as he can handle. Since it will be his first game back, Nabers is the No. 16 WR in RotoBaller's Week 1 rankings, but he definitely has top-10 upside even though he'll take on an improved Dallas defense on Sunday Night Football. If you drafted Nabers as a starter, be sure to get him in your lineups this week since he seems to be all systems go for Week 1.

Ashton Jeanty News
Saturday, September 5, 7:01 AM
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty suffered a sprained ankle in the preseason rather than a more serious injury that was feared and ESPN Insider Adam Schefter said he has a "legitimate chance to play in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins." However with the injury and the emergence of backup running back Mike Washington Jr. in camp there is real worry in selecting Jeanty in the late first round which was where he was projected prior to the injury. The good news is it was only a sprained ankle, the bad news is there could be more of a split in carries than originally thought with Washington. Washington has looked good in camp and is averaging 7.3 yards per carry in preseason games. General manager John Spytek has praised Washington this fall, "We have an expectation that he's going to help us win football games this year," Spytek told Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com.
