Russell Wilson Signed With Giants to Play With Malik Nabers

Monday, June 23, 3:14 PM

New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson said that he signed with the team this offseason because of second-year wide receiver Malik Nabers. "I came here because of him. I really wanted to play with someone who is special like him," Wilson said. Nabers led the Giants in receiving in 2024 in his first year in the league with 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns on 109 catches (170 targets) despite subpar quarterback play and two missed games due to a concussion. While the aging Wilson might not be much of an upgrade from what the Giants trotted out there last year after Daniel Jones was cut, he does excel on the deep ball and should target Nabers heavily through the air. Nabers proved last year he is a clear WR1 in fantasy, regardless of who is throwing him passes. The LSU product and former first-rounder has the ability to take over any game.

Jake Ferguson Hindered by Knee Issue in 2024

Friday, June 20, 3:19 PM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson recently divulged to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that the knee injury he sustained in Week 1 of 2024 was a season-long issue. However, he isn't using that as an excuse for his subpar campaign. "My knee hurt, for sure," said Ferguson. "The concussion was weird. But I've said this before: if I'm on the field, I should be able to give it my all." After a strong 2023 (71/761/5), the 26-year-old regressed last season -- failing to score a touchdown or top 500 yards in 14 appearances. He's an excellent bounce-back candidate ahead of 2025, with head coach Brian Schottenheimer noting, "the look in his eyes and the way his body looks...the way he's moving has been noticeably different in a good way." Ferguson will have the newly acquired George Pickens to contend with for targets this year, but the Cowboys' lack of appeal in their RB room could signal a third straight season with a top 12 passing rate in the league.
