Who Should I Start? Malik Nabers or Keon Coleman

Friday, September 5, 3:00 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (back) was not given a game status on the team's final Week 1 injury report despite sitting out Friday's practice. With no injury designation, he is expected to be a full go on Sunday when the Giants open their season against the Commanders. Nabers has experienced minor ailments throughout training camp, and he missed Friday's practice due to back tightness. It appears, though, that the team is taking an extra cautious approach with their Pro Bowl receiver, and all signs point to him getting a full workload on Sunday. Nabers was electric as a rookie, making 109 catches in only 15 games, and reports out of Giants' camp indicate that he hasn't missed a beat with Russell Wilson now under center. Nabers should be started without hesitation, and he has a strong chance of being one of the week's highest scoring receivers.

Second-year receiver for the Buffalo Bills out of Florida State, Keon Coleman, led the Bills' receiving room in targets, receptions, and receiving yards on Sunday in the Bills' 41-40 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football. Coleman was selected by the Bills in 2024 as their 33rd overall pick and struggled a bit in his rookie season, hauling in only 29 catches on 57 targets for 556 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Sunday night, however, Coleman splashed onto the scene and will likely be one of the most popular waiver wire pickups heading into Week 2. He hauled in an impressive eight of 11 targets for 112 yards and one receiving touchdown. Although his 10-yard touchdown was a ball that was deflected into his lap, he still led a potent offense in all three major categories (targets, receptions, and yards), and Allen appeared to feel comfortable firing balls his way in crucial moments of the game. Although Coleman isn't nearing must-start territory, he is worth a look if he's on your waiver wire heading into Week 2.
