Weekly Writeup
Nabers will probably regress this week vs. his 10-82-1 receiving line against the Ravens. That included his first TD and largest fantasy total since Week 3. But Nabers has garnered 9+ targets in seven straight contests, caught 6+ balls in six of those, and reached 50 receiving yards in 11 of 12 games this season. The wretched QB situation certainly hasn’t helped him. But the rookie sits 10th among WRs in total PPR points for the season anyway – despite losing two weeks to a concussion.

Bottom Line

We love Nabers for dynasty. His LSU tape proved dynamic, with fluid movement skills and slippery post-catch ability.

He’s poised for 100+ targets right away – but his efficiency is uncertain. Can Daniel Jones stay healthy? If so, can he perform as a league-average QB?

Those questions have Nabers profiling as a low-floor, high-ceiling fantasy option. We’re not eager to buy at his current Underdog ADP (WR20).

What We Learned Last Year

  • Nabers posted big-time production at LSU over the past two seasons.
    • Across 27 games, he racked up 161 catches, 2,586 yards, and 17 TDs.
    • That stretch includes a sophomore breakout with solid market shares: 22.4% of the catches and 27.0% of the receiving yards.
  • Last year, Nabers ranked second nationally in receiving yards and third in receiving TDs.
    • Among 286 qualifiers, Nabers sat first in PFF receiving grade and third in yards per route run.
    • Playing alongside Round 1 pick Brian Thomas Jr., Nabers boosted his market shares: 35.6% of the receiving yards; 31.8% of the receiving TDs.
  • Nabers’ tape showed a dynamic athlete, both downfield and in post-catch situations.
  • He averaged 17.6 yards per catch and led the FBS in plays of 20+ and 30+ yards.
  • Nabers also averaged 6.6 yards after catch per reception.
  • The Louisiana native showed versatility by splitting his time between outside positions and the slot.

What to Expect in 2024

  • Nabers enters the league on the young side, turning 21 in July.
  • His injury history turns up no cause for concern.
  • The Giants drafted him sixth overall as the WR2.
  • It’s the perfect landing spot for opportunity.
    • The 2023 Giants featured Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Darren Waller as top target-getters.
    • The WRs return, but Waller retired.
    • GM Joe Schoen didn't make any other notable investments at WR.
    • New York downgraded at RB, swapping out Saquon Barkley for Devin Singletary.
  • QB play remains a huge red flag.
    • Daniel Jones is coming off a November ACL tear.
    • He hasn’t reached 7.0 YPA as an NFL passer. (He tallied 5.7 YPA last season.)
    • His career completion rate underwhelms at 64.3%. Same for his 3.3% TD rate.

Drew Lock, QB NYG

12:51pm EST 12/18/24

Giants Going Back To Drew Lock

Giants QB Drew Lock will start Sunday's game vs. the Falcons, HC Brian Daboll said. QB Tommy DeVito is in concussion protocol, while Tim Boyle ... is Tim Boyle. Lock hasn't been any good this year, completing 51% of his passes at 4.6 yards per attempt with 0 TDs and 2 INTs. He at least targeted WR Malik Nabers 23 times on a 28.4% share in his two full games. Nabers caught 13 of those passes for 148 yards. He remains a fine WR2 play this week. Lock should be nowhere near fantasy lineups.

ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that Giants WR Malik Nabers "will try" to play vs. the Saints today. But he'll work out pre-game before a final determination is made. And it “would be more of a limited role" if he plays, a source tells Schefter. Nabers is dealing with both a lingering groin issue and a new hip injury he suffered in practice this week. Already more of a WR2 with New York's QB struggles, Nabers projects as a shaky WR3 on limited snaps this week.

Dynasty Write-up
Nabers declared for the draft after ranking top eight nationally in catches, yards, and TDs per game. The 21-year-old combines exciting deep chops with angry run-after-catch ability. After just a few minutes of watching him, you can tell his play speed is on another level. While he passed on NFL Combine testing, Nabers was never dropping out of the top 10. Despite a shaky landing spot, Nabers should flourish in New York long-term.
