Malik Nabers Looks to Extend Hot Streak Against Texans

Friday, October 23, 6:36 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has been on a tear lately and appears fully healthy entering Week 7. Over the past three weeks, Nabers has caught 29 of 42 targets for 398 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 22.1 half-PPR fantasy points per game. While the Giants are switching from Jameis Winston to J.J. McCarthy, Nabers continued to succeed with the former Vikings first-round pick, totaling four receptions for 95 yards in the fourth quarter. The quarterback change could end Nabers' hot streak and add risk, but it may not matter for the star receiver, who has been a volume machine. He faces the Houston Texans in Week 7, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Fantasy managers can still fire up Nabers as a solidified WR1, though he carries more risk if McCarthy struggles in his first start.

Germie Bernard Emerging as a Fantasy WR2 Against Saints

Friday, October 23, 5:22 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard broke out with 11 catches for 87 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets last week and should remain heavily involved in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints. With Michael Pittman Jr. (foot), Roman Wilson (finger), and Ben Skowronek (calf) all inactive, Bernard and veteran teammate DK Metcalf were the only wide receivers to receive a target from quarterback Aaron Rodgers last week. That concentrated target share should continue against a Saints defense allowing the fourth-most yards and the most points per game to opposing offenses. Fantasy managers who have been stashing Bernard or were fortunate enough to claim him off waivers can feel confident starting the rookie as a low-end WR2 in Paris on Sunday.
