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

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin, hip) is officially active for Sunday's tilt against the New Orleans Saints in Week 14. Nabers was a mid-week addition to the Week 14 injury report and was limited in Thursday's practice before picking up a DNP on Friday. The 21-year-old first-rounder out of LSU has been pushing to play this week and will be active, but a limited role could be on tap, giving him bust potential against the Saints due to a lingering groin injury and a hip-flexor ailment. Fantasy managers in DFS contests should probably be looking to fade him, but those in single-year leagues may have no choice but to roll with Nabers with six teams on bye in Week 14. If Nabers doesn't see the field as much as normal, wideouts Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton figure to be the primary beneficiaries of quarterback Drew Lock's targets.

The New York Giants have no plans to shut down wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin) despite being limited from playoff contention, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Nabers has been one of the best rookies in the NFL this season, ranking as the overall WR12 in fantasy football with his 75 catches, 740 yards, and three touchdowns through 10 games. The LSU product has shown that he can post top-tier fantasy results regardless of poor quarterback play in New York or tough matchups. Fantasy managers will be pleased to hear that Nabers won't be shut down and should be available to them for the final stretch of the season.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip) "will try to play" on Sunday against the Saints. However, Schefter added that even if the wideout is on the field, it "would be more of a limited role." He injured his hip flexor and didn't participate in Friday's practice. But it at least sounds like there's a good chance Nabers will shed his questionable tag and get out there in Week 14. With that in mind, the rookie will be hard to trust if he plays even with a favorable matchup on the horizon, considering the possibility of a limited role would significantly cap his fantasy potential.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip) is currently considered questionable ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Nabers was limited in practice on Thursday after suffering a hip flexor injury. As a result, Nabers sat out of Friday's practice session. It sounds like the team is taking it day-by-day, so fantasy managers might have to wait until closer on Sunday for more information on his status. The absence of Nabers would make Darius Slayton a much more appealing streaming option. Both Wan'Dale Robinson and Slayton would have flex appeal if Nabers is forced to sit out.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll told assembled media that rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip flexor) will not practice on Friday ahead of the Giants' game against New Orleans. The rookie from LSU missing Friday's practice is not a positive development, so it will be worth checking to see how the Giants designate him on the official injury report. At 2-10, the Giants' year is already lost, though Nabers has been by far their best player and a reliable fantasy option. Against a similarly bad Saints defense, Nabers is a high-end WR2, but he'll have to be healthy enough to play first.
