Malik Nabers News
Tuesday, April 7, 5:43 PM
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said on Tuesday that wide receiver Malik Nabers' (knee) timeline to be ready to play "is going to be in training camp and closer to the season," according to Ralph Vacchiano of FOX Sports. Nabers was present for the start of voluntary offseason workouts on Tuesday, but he's unlikely to be doing much of anything on the field after tearing the ACL and meniscus in his right knee in Week 4 of last season. The Giants are hopeful that the former sixth overall pick out of LSU will be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, and barring a setback this summer, that should be the case. Fantasy managers should be able to get the 22-year-old at a discount in drafts later this year after his knee injury, and although he'll be more risky because of the injury, he'll still have high-end WR1 upside if he's not slowed down at all on the field. Nabers had 1,204 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 109 catches in his rookie season in 2024 and was well on his way to another big season in 2025 before getting hurt.

Ladd McConkey News
Sunday, April 12, 5:49 AM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey burst onto the scene as a 2024 rookie, finishing his first season with 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns on a team-leading 82 receptions. He entered his second season priced as a low-end WR1 in both redraft and dynasty leagues as fantasy managers underestimated the impact of a returning Chargers legend. Keenan Allen came back to Los Angeles in 2025 as a 33-year-old veteran and promptly led the team in targets and receptions, operating primarily in the same short-to-intermediate parts of the field as McConkey. Heading into the NFL Draft, Allen remains unsigned, and McConkey should see every chance to thrive in new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's rhythm-based scheme that will maximize his ability to add yards after the catch. Among players with at least a 60% snap share out of the slot, McConkey's 4.8 yards after catch average through his first two seasons already lands him near the top of the league, but McDaniel should repeatedly motion him into position to make even greater use of his 4.39-speed and return to something resembling his rookie form.
