New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) is unlikely to be ready for Week 5's game against Seattle, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Raanan says Nabers "seems like a long shot to be ready for Seattle." The talented rookie receiver suffered a concussion at the end of the Thursday night game against Dallas last week. He sat out Wednesday's practice and was reportedly still in the early stages of the concussion protocol. Nabers' absence would be a big blow for his fantasy managers, as he was off to a red-hot start to his NFL career with 35 catches for 386 yards and three touchdowns. If Nabers is indeed out, it will mean that Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt will operate in three-receiver sets.
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) will not take part in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Singletary is on the injury report with a groin injury that isn't considered a long-term concern, but it could affect his availability for the Week 5 contest this Sunday in Seattle against the Seahawks. If the 27-year-old is limited or out this weekend, rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Eric Gray would both be asked to take on more in the backfield at Lumen Field. In his first year in the Big Apple, Singletary has been the RB23 in half-PPR scoring with 56 carries for 221 yards (career-low 3.9 yards per carry) and two touchdowns while adding 10 catches on 11 targets for 72 additional yards. Right now, Singletary is shaping up as a shaky RB2 option for fantasy managers against a Seahawks defense that has been much better at defending the run so far in 2024 than they were last year.
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) will not practice on Wednesday as he is still in the early stages of the league's concussion protocol. The Giants are taking it day-to-day with the impressive young pass-catcher from LSU. Nabers suffered a concussion in last Thursday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys but said after the game that he'd be alright. The fact that the 21-year-old remains in the concussion protocol means he's not a lock to be given the green light to play this Sunday in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks on the road. If Nabers is ultimately questionable to play, it will make life more difficult on fantasy managers with New York's game coming in the later window on Sunday. The sixth overall pick this year has burst onto the scene in his first four games and has become a must-start in fantasy quickly. He has a league-high 35 catches (52 targets) for 386 yards and three touchdowns.
Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich failed to haul in his only target of the day in Sunday's 10-9 upset win over the New York Jets on the road on Sunday. Both teams struggled to move the ball on a rain-soaked afternoon in the Big Apple, with Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix throwing for a total of 60 yards. Dulcich had five catches on 11 targets for 28 yards through the first two weeks of the season, but he has zero catches on just one target in the last two weeks as Nix continues to struggle as a passer early in his NFL career. Things are looking up for this lackluster offense with a Week 5 divisional clash at home against the Las Vegas Raiders, but Dulcich shouldn't be anywhere near starting fantasy lineups, even in two-TE leagues. Nix can barely support one receiver in fantasy, let alone an oft-injured tight end.
Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich should be nowhere near starting lineups for a Week 4 road matchup against the New York Jets, let alone on fantasy rosters in 12-team leagues. Dulcich produced five receptions on 11 targets for 28 yards and no touchdowns in the first two weeks of the 2024 season before not being targeted at all in the Week 3 road victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played just 17 of the team's 68 offensive snaps last Sunday, with both Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins out-snapping him. The 24-year-old UCLA product was being talked up in training camp this summer, but it hasn't amounted to much so far in the regular season while quarterback Bo Nix has mostly struggled to move the offense consistently through three weeks. The Jets defense has allowed just 5.2 half-PPR fantasy points to TEs through three games, the 24th-fewest in the league. Fantasy managers should have much better streaming options at the position.
