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

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.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin) was added to the Week 14 injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited practice participant. Mid-week additions to the injury report aren't usually good, putting Nabers' status in doubt for Sunday's contest against the New Orleans Saints. How much the first-rounder is able to do at practice on Friday will ultimately give us a better idea of his availability this weekend. The 21-year-old LSU product has become less interesting in fantasy now that quarterback Daniel Jones is gone, but he did catch eight of 13 targets for 69 yards while working with QB Drew Lock in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. However, Nabers has had fewer than 70 receiving yards now in four straight games. If he's out or limited against the Saints, both Wan'Dale Robinson could be heavily targeted, with Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt seeing bigger roles as well.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was the focal point of the passing game in Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, leading the team with 13 targets, eight receptions, and 69 receiving yards. His 18-yard grab was the longest of the day for the Giants, though his average of 8.6 yards per catch reflected the short-yardage nature of his opportunities. Nabers had a 29-yard fourth-quarter reception wiped out by a holding penalty, adding to a frustrating day that also included two drops. Despite these setbacks, his 11.3 fantasy points underline what you get as a floor with Nabers. Managers should remain optimistic about his consistent involvement in the Giants' offense, even amid some missed opportunities.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers heads into the Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup against the Dallas Cowboys after leading the team with six receptions for 64 yards on nine targets in a tough Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay. Averaging 17.44 FPPG this season (9th among WRs), Nabers has been a consistent fantasy contributor with 671 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 103 targets. Dallas offers a middling matchup for receivers, ranking 21st against fantasy WRs and allowing 15 passing TDs this season. While their pass defense is 18th overall (214.9 passing yards per game), Nabers called the team out this past week about not getting him the ball enough. The squeaky wheel should get the grease, so look for Nabers to get targets early and often this week. The only question mark is at quarterback, as it may be Tommy Devito or Drew Lock.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers led the team with six receptions for 64 yards on nine targets in Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Averaging 10.7 yards per catch with a 21-yard long, Nabers provided a bright spot in an otherwise sluggish offense that managed 192 passing yards and trailed 23-0 at halftime with a mere 45 yards of total offense. Despite his steady volume, Nabers' fantasy upside is capped by the Giants' quarterback situation, with Tommy Devito under center and the possibility of Drew Lock stepping in. While his 9.4 fantasy points are serviceable, Nabers' production may be inconsistent unless the offense stabilizes and generates more scoring opportunities.
