2024 Fantasy Outlook
Nabers was the second WR taken in the 2024 Draft, going sixth overall to a Giants team that was widely rumored to be interested in quarterbacks. He'd be a consensus WR1 in many other draft classes, but Marvin Harrison was the popular favorite for a loaded 2024 class. Nabers has looked the part since his initial year at LSU in 2021, when he started six of 11 games and had 417 receiving yards as an 18-year-old true freshman (after missing his senior season of high school due to a declined transfer waiver, no less). Nabers then progressed to 1,017 receiving yards as a sophomore and 1,569 as a junior, comfortably outproducing teammate Brian Thomas (also a first-round pick) in every key category besides touchdowns. Nabers scored 14 of those in 2023 to help QB Jayden Daniels win the Heisman Award, with highlights including a 13-239-2 receiving line against Miss. St. and a 10-171-1 showing at Alabama. Listed at 6-0, 200, Nabers is about 3-4 inches and 10-15 pounds shy of Harrison and fellow rookie Rome Odunze, but the LSU product is probably the fastest of the three and also the best YAC threat. While he didn't test at the combine, Nabers reportedly posted a 4.44-second 40-yard dash and 38-inch vertical... back in 2020 when he was still in high school. He should immediately become the Giants' No. 1 receiver ahead of Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt, albeit in an offense that has Daniel Jones (ACL) and Drew Lock at quarterback.

RANKS
Targeted 10 times
Nabers recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers. He added one rush for minus-2 yards.
ANALYSIS
Daniel Jones had only 54 passing yards at halftime, which predictably affected all of the Giants' pass catchers. Nabers managed to salvage his day in the second half while being primarily used in the short areas of the field, though he did pop a long catch of 19 yards early in the fourth quarter. He was also forced to miss a significant amount of the final quarter while undergoing a concussion evaluation, though he did return to the field. Nabers has now topped 60 yards only once in his last four games, though he has double-digit targets in each of his last three contests and will remain the focal point of New York's offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Projected for Week 7 return
Jordan Ranaan of ESPN predicts that Nabers, recovering from a concussion, will return in Week 7 against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Nabers was forced to miss the last two games, though he increased his activity level ahead of the Giants' Week 6 loss to the Bengals. His return would provide a significant boost to the team's offense.
