New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers led the team in receptions during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany, recording six catches for 50 yards on 10 targets. Nabers averaged 8.3 yards per catch, with his longest reception stretching for 19 yards, though he was kept out of the end zone. Quarterback Daniel Jones missed Nabers on a couple of open looks that could have bolstered his fantasy output, leaving him with 7.8 fantasy points on the day. Early in the fourth quarter, Nabers briefly exited the game for a concussion evaluation after a hard fall, but he returned to the field later in the drive. His heavy involvement and target share suggest a continued role as a top option in the Giants' offense moving forward.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers remains the team's top weapon heading into Week 10's matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Munich. Last week, Nabers led the Giants with nine receptions, though he was held to just 59 yards as the Commanders contained his big-play ability. This week, he faces a Panthers defense that ranks 12th against fantasy WRs and has allowed 18 passing touchdowns this season, despite limiting overall passing yards to 232.6 per game. Nabers' steady target volume and six end-zone targets make him a reliable fantasy option, and against Carolina's vulnerable red-zone defense, he has a solid chance to add to his three touchdowns this season, making him a high-floor WR1 for Week 10.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers provided a second-half spark in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Washington Commanders, finishing with nine receptions for 59 yards on 11 targets. After being shut out with zero receiving yards in the first half, Nabers became a reliable target in the final two quarters, helping the Giants stay competitive down the stretch. Although he averaged a modest 6.6 yards per catch with a 16-yard longest reception, his volume was crucial as the Giants tried to close the gap. Nabers ended the day with 10.4 fantasy points, showing value as a high-floor option despite missing the end zone in this outing.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers remains the team's top target heading into their Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders, aiming to build on his strong season. Nabers has tallied 498 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 46 receptions, averaging 10.8 yards per catch, and his consistent involvement (73 targets) highlights his central role in the Giants' offense. Last week against Pittsburgh, he showed big-play potential, narrowly missing additional yards and a touchdown due to minor execution issues. The Commanders' pass defense ranks sixth overall, allowing only 186.8 passing yards per game. Still, they sit at 19th against fantasy wide receivers, making Nabers a fantasy starter with upside if he capitalizes on his end-zone opportunities.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was heavily involved in Monday night's 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, leading the team with 13 targets and catching seven passes for 71 yards. Nabers finished with the second-most receiving yards on the Giants, trailing only Darius Slayton's 108, and posted a 10.1-yard average per reception with a long of 16. He was tantalizingly close to an even bigger night, nearly connecting on a few deep balls, dropping a couple of passes, and narrowly missing a touchdown after failing to get his second foot down in the end zone. Despite not scoring, Nabers' 10.6 fantasy points reflect his high volume in the Giants' offense, making him a must-start every week.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers heads into a promising Week 8 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. Nabers has been productive this season, averaging 19.9 fantasy points per game with 427 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and he's seen consistent volume with 60 targets. After returning from a two-week concussion absence, Nabers led the team with 41 receiving yards on four catches against the Eagles in Week 7, though the Giants' passing game struggled overall. Facing a Steelers defense ranked 22nd in pass defense (allowing 217.3 yards per game) and with eight receiving touchdowns allowed, Nabers could be poised for a bounce-back, especially given his five end zone targets on the season.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers returned from a two-game absence due to a concussion in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Nabers caught four of eight targets for 41 yards, averaging 10.3 yards per reception, with a long of 14 yards, and started the game strong with a 13-yard catch on the first offensive play. Despite leading the team in receiving yards, Nabers couldn't find the end zone and was part of a lackluster Giants passing attack that totaled only 105 yards. He finished with 6.1 fantasy points.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (knee) is officially active for Week 7 on Sunday against the division-rival New York Giants. Slay was limited on Wednesday, didn't practice on Thursday and returned to a full practice session on Friday before being listed as questionable on the final injury report for the week. Slay was injured in the Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns, but the injury wasn't serious enough to keep him out of this week's game. The 33-year-old veteran defensive back could have a tough task on hand this week while trying to slow down impressive first-round rookie receiver Malik Nabers, who is returning to the field after missing the last two games due to a concussion suffered in Week 4. Despite the return of Nabers, the Eagles' defense/special teams unit should be considered a top-10 fantasy option against the Giants offense.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) said he's ready to play in Week 7 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and is "very excited" to get back on the field after missing the last two games due to a concussion. "Every game is a big game to me," Nabers said. The first-round rookie sensation out of LSU was trending towards playing this weekend when he was officially cleared from the leagues concussion protocol on Thursday. Nabers' return is bad news for the fantasy upside of both Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton, who were seeing more targets in his absence the last few weeks, but it's great news for quarterback Daniel Jones. Nabers racked up an eye-opening 35 catches for 386 yards and three touchdowns in his first four NFL games and needs to be returned to all starting lineups for Week 7 immediately.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion, hamstring) was evaluated by an independent neurologist on Thursday and has cleared the league's concussion protocol. Nabers was also listed with a hamstring injury on Thursday, but he practiced in full after being limited on Wednesday and should be in the clear to play this Sunday against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. It's great news for Nabers' fantasy managers and the Giants offense in general, as the 21-year-old contributed 35 receptions on 52 targets for 386 yards and three touchdowns in his first four NFL games. Nabers, the sixth overall pick in April out of LSU, should be reinserted into starting fantasy lineups on Sunday after missing the last two games with a concussion.

New York Giants rookie first-round wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) will practice in full on Thursday as he works his way through the league's concussion protocol. Nabers will then meet with an independent neurologist later on Thursday if things go well to see if he can be cleared. The 21-year-old pass-catcher missed the last two weeks with a concussion but was limited in practice on Wednesday and looks to be on track to return in Week 7 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. Nabers isn't out of the woods yet, but things are looking better for the weekend. If he's able to get the green light for Sunday's contest, he should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups after going for 35 receptions on 52 targets for 386 yards and three touchdowns in his first four NFL games. Quarterback Daniel Jones will surely be happy to see Nabers return.

New York Giants wide receivers Malik Nabers (concussion), Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) and Darius Slayton (groin) were all listed as limited participants in Wednesday's practice. It's safe to say the Giants' receiving corps is banged up heading into a Week 7 divisional contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. Nabers' status is the one most worth watching, as the 21-year-old first-rounder has missed the last two games with an injury. However, he's progressing through the league's concussion protocol and has a realistic shot to return this Sunday. Fantasy managers should check back later this week on the status of New York's wideouts. Nabers had 35 catches for 386 yards and three TDs in four games for his injury, so he'll be a must-start in fantasy lineups if he is active against Philly. Jalin Hyatt would benefit the most if the Giants are missing multiple receivers this weekend.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) is expected to advance in the concussion protocol and be a non-contact participant in Wednesday's practice, according to team reporter Art Stapleton. The rookie out of LSU missed each of the last two games after suffering a concussion in the Week 4 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. In his first four professional bouts, Nabers racked up 35 receptions for 386 yards and three touchdowns. He saw a whopping 52 targets, which still ranks ninth in the league despite his two absences. If he returns in Week 7, he's a must-start fantasy option against the Philadelphia Eagles. Philly has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to wideouts, and Nabers has already established himself as a clear starter in all matchups. Fellow wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson will have a lower floor and ceiling with the return on Nabers, but he's still firmly on the fantasy football radar in PPR setups. Nabers ranks second among WRs in PPR fantasy points per game (22.9) so far this year.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) will not play on Sunday according to Pat Leonard of NYDN Sports. The LSU standout suffered a concussion in their Week 4 loss to the Dallas Cowboys and has not returned to the field since. Nabers did not return to practice this week and also did not show any significant progress through the concussion protocol. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status heading into next week as he could return to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last weekend, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton led the Giant passing attack and should be expected to do so again on Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. Both are high-upside flex options this weekend as the Bengals have allowed the 18th-most points to opposing wideouts this season.

Oct 10 3:00pm CT

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday and is now in danger of missing his second consecutive game. The LSU standout suffered a concussion in their Week 4 loss to the Dallas Cowboys and has not taken the field since. It was reported earlier on Thursday that Nabers was seen doing side work with the coaching staff but has not progressed to the next step in concussion protocol. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during Friday's practice but should begin to look for another option on the waiver wire, as Nabers will likely face an uphill battle to suit on Sunday evening. If he does suit up, Nabers should be locked into your lineup as a high-end WR1. If not, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton should see an uptick in opportunities.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) is in the "same" spot as Wednesday, according to head coach Brian Daboll, meaning he has not advanced to the next stage of the league's concussion protocol. There's still time for Nabers to clear the protocol, but his chances of playing on Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals is in doubt. Nabers didn't practice on Wednesday and will likely pick up another DNP on Thursday, which is bad news for fantasy managers that were expecting him back in Week 6 after he didn't get the green light to play in the Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks. The 21-year-old hasn't looked like a rookie at all in four games, catching a league-high 35 passes for 386 yards and three touchdowns. Nabers has already become a must-start in fantasy when he's active, but he could be on his way to a second straight missed game.UPDATE: Nabers did much less in practice on Thursday than on Wednesday in the portion of practice open to the media. He only rode an exercise bike on the side after running and doing more football-related drills on Wednesday.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday as he is still in concussion protocol. Nabers was seen working with the coaching staff earlier on Wednesday but did not participate enough to be deemed limited. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status throughout the week, as Thursday's and Friday's injury reports should clarify his availability for this weekend. Before suffering a concussion in Week 4, the LSU standout was enjoying an impressive campaign as averaged 96.5 receiving yards per game with three total touchdowns. If Nabers is able to suit up on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, he should be viewed as a high-end WR1. If not, Wan'Dale Robinson should be in line for increased opportunities.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) is "doing better," according to head coach Brian Daboll. Nabers will be working on the side with trainers at practice on Wednesday and is considered day-to-day. The impressive 21-year-old pass-catcher from LSU suffered a concussion in the Thursday night loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night in Week 4 and sat out of the Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks. It sounds like he's making progress with his head injury, but he still has boxes to check in the league's concussion protocol and isn't a lock to play yet in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. If Nabers is questionable to play, it will make for some tough decisions in fantasy with New York's game being on Sunday night this week. Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton will have higher fantasy ceilings as flex options again this weekend if Nabers misses his second straight game.

Oct 4 10:50am CT

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. This doesn't come as much of a surprise given Nabers hasn't been able to practice this week. He continues to work his way back from a head injury he suffered in Week 4. The loss of Nabers is a significant hit to this Giants offense considering he has 35 receptions on 52 targets this season. Wan'Dale Robinson will likely gain the most value out of anyone on this offense with Nabers out. Robinson finished with 11 receptions on 14 targets with 71 yards last week. He figures to be a focal point in the passing game, especially with Nabers out.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) is making progress in the league's concussion protocol, but he won't be on the practice field for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Daboll said the team will wait as long as possible before making a determination for his Week 5 status against the Seattle Seahawks, but time is obviously running low to clear the remaining steps. The Athletic's Dan Duggan doesn't see Nabers being cleared for Sunday. The Giants play in the late slate on Sunday as well, so this is shaping up as a situation to avoid for fantasy managers with Nabers being more of a long shot to play this weekend. It's a big blow for New York's offense, as Nabers currently leads the league with 35 receptions. Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt will all have elevated roles on Sunday in the passing game if Nabers is ruled out, as expected.
