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
Nine second-half catches in loss
Nabers caught nine of 11 targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Nabers didn't catch his only first-half target as Daniel Jones had zero passing yards at halftime. The rookie receiver came alive in the second half, as his team-high reception and yardage totals included a two-yard catch on which Nabers managed to stretch the ball out and just barely convert on fourth-and-2 in the third quarter. Nabers has totaled at least 11 targets in five of his first seven NFL games, and he'll likely stay busy when the Giants travel to Munich, Germany to face the Panthers in Week 10.

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.
