Who Should I Start? Malik Nabers or Keon Coleman

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) had surgery on Tuesday to fix the torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, and he "should be ready" for the start of next season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Nabers suffered his season-ending knee injury in the Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he just now had surgery after doctors had to wait for the swelling in his knee to dissipate. Barring setbacks with his rehab and recovery in the offseason, the 22-year-old former first-rounder should be good to go for the start of the 2026 season next fall, although fantasy managers might have some reservations about rolling with a receiver coming off a major knee repair as a high-end WR1. Before his injury, though, Nabers had displayed his game-changing abilities with 271 yards and two scores on 18 receptions in four games. His long-term fantasy ceiling should be higher going forward now that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart looks like the real deal.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports. The Bills recently activated Mecole Hardman (calf) off Injured Reserve, and he will be active in Coleman's place. Coleman was a healthy scratch in Weeks 11 and 12 for disciplinary reasons, and his Week 16 absence is reportedly a coach's decision. It's been a disappointing season for the second-year wideout, totalling 36 catches (55 targets) for 355 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games, with 112 of those yards coming in Week 1. With Coleman out again, Joshua Palmer, Brandin Cooks, Tyrell Shavers, and Hardman will all be in the mix for more opportunities behind Khalil Shakir, who remains Buffalo's clear WR1 on Sunday.
