Malik Nabers's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (undisclosed) will not take part in the team's practice on Tuesday. The Giants are practicing on Tuesday this week and will be taking Wednesday off for Christmas. It's early in the week, so the Giants are likely just giving their star wideout some extra rest heading into a Week 17 tilt on Sunday versus the visiting Indianapolis Colts. The 21-year-old first-rounder has battled several lower-body injuries in recent weeks but hasn't missed any time, so we'd expect him to be good to play this weekend as the unquestioned top wideout for the G-Men. Despite the awful mess at quarterback for the Giants with Drew Lock still the starter, Nabers has seen 28 targets over the last two weeks and has caught 17 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown. For fantasy managers battling for a trophy this week, Nabers is a must-start in lineups.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers hauled in seven receptions for 68 yards on 14 targets in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Despite leading the team in targets, Nabers could only secure half of them, averaging 9.7 yards per reception with a long of 21 yards. The inefficiency highlighted the struggles of Drew Lock under center, as the Giants' passing attack failed to generate consistent production. Nabers' 10.3 fantasy points were serviceable, but his ceiling remains capped in an offense plagued by quarterback inconsistency and an inability to sustain drives.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee, foot) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie wideout was limited to start the week and end it, but will suit up this weekend. Possibly, the Giants were just giving the 21-year-old some extra rest considering he's dealing with a few lingering issues. Quarterback Drew Lock (heel, elbow) has been cleared as well, so that should increase Nabers' fantasy value. Nabers hauled in 10 receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown last week. Fantasy managers can go ahead and plug Nabers in as a WR2 for a plus-matchup against the Falcons secondary.

According to Dan Salomone of Giants.com, wide receivers Malik Nabers (knee/foot) and Wan'Dale Robinson (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday. Both wideouts were able to upgrade from their limited status on Wednesday, putting them both in a great position to suit up this weekend to face the Atlanta Falcons. Nabers has battled several injuries throughout his rookie campaign. Last weekend, Nabers brought in ten of his 14 targets for 82 yards and a score. Robinson was only able to bring in four of his nine targets for 38 yards. Fantasy managers should monitor their status on Friday in case they face a setback. Nabers should be viewed as a high-end WR2 facing a weak Atlanta secondary, while Robinson is a solid flex option in PPR formats.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee, foot) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday while dealing with two injuries. Fellow wideout Wan'Dale Robinson (shoulder) was also limited in practice. Both players should be available to play in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons, but we'll monitor Nabers closely through the rest of the week. New York's quarterback situation has been atrocious in Nabers' first NFL season, which is why his 90-901-4 line in 12 games has been even more impressive. As long as he's active on Sunday, he's expected to be taking passes from Drew Lock again. It isn't ideal, but Nabers needs to be in all starting fantasy lineups if you still have something to play for. With Tommy DeVito and Tim Boyle seeing action in the Week 15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Nabers caught 10 of 14 targets for 82 yards and one touchdown.
