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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Historic start to career
Nabers is the first player in NFL history to record at least 20 catches and three touchdowns in his first three career games, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The LSU product is quickly rewarding the Giants for making him the sixth overall selection in this year's NFL Draft. Nabers' 23 receptions through three games is tied with Anquan Boldin for the second-most in league history, behind only Puka Nacua's 30 with the Rams last season. With the Giants likely to be playing from behind a lot and lacking any other proven downfield options for quarterback Daniel Jones, Nabers' production may not have even found its ceiling yet.
