The 2023 Giants' offense lacked significant firepower in the passing game, which led to their prioritization of adding a big-time pass catcher in the draft. They landed an impressive prospect in Malik Nabers, who, if not for the generational talent Marvin Harrison Jr., would've almost certainly been the top prospect at the position in this and almost any other class.
Nabers is a well-rounded wide receiver who brings tremendous speed and overall athleticism to a New York offense that sorely lacks such players. Barring injury, Nabers should immediately step in as the top target earner in what is admittedly a struggling offense. Nevertheless, even with presumed poor quarterback play, a high target share could allow Nabers to be a strong weekly fantasy asset from the outset.
Nabers won't come cheap on draft day, but he's being selected as a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3 in most leagues, which is fairly close to his floor. If he and Daniel Jones can create a connection that allows him to get into the end zone with any frequency, there's no reason to believe he can't meet or even exceed the lofty expectations many have for him this season.

 Malik Nabers misses practice on Thursday
Toe injury
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Dec 26, 12:44 pm
|  | WR Malik Nabers (toe) and C John Michael Schmitz (ankle) among those not practicing Thursday, per Brian Daboll.
Wouldn’t rule them out for Sunday just yet but not a great sign.
“See where we’re at (Friday),” Daboll said. (Jordan Raanan on X)
FFToday's Take: Nabers went on to call himself a gametime decision for Week 17 against the Colts. We'll have a better idea of his status after practice on Friday. Darius Slayton would see an upgrade if Nabers were to miss this week's game.
| Malik Nabers limited in Week 14?
Hip, Groin injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Dec 8, 1:00 am
| | Giants WR Malik Nabers, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a hip flexor injury and a lingering groin issue, will try to play vs. the Saints but the team wants to see how he feels in pre-game warmups and, as one source said, it “would be more of a limited role.” (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Nabers popped up on the injury report this week with a hip issue and missed practice Friday. He's also been dealing with a groin injury. It sounds like if Nabers does play, he's going to be limited in some fashion. This obviously is a blow to his fantasy value, making him more of a low-end WR2 or WR3 in Week 14 against the Saints.
| Malik Nabers expected to play Week 12
Groin injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Nov 24, 2:15 am
| | #Giants WR Malik Nabers (groin) is expected to play today against the #Bucs. He was listed as questionable. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Nabers sat out practice on Friday with a groin injury but is expected to play against the Buccaneers today. He'll have a new quarterback (Tommy DeVito) but should remain in the WR2 range against a Bucs-D that's given up the 5th most fantasy points to wide receivers.
| Malik Nabers clears concussion protocol
Full practice on Thursday
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Oct 17, 5:21 pm
| | Giants announced that WR Malik Nabers was evaluated by the independent neurological consultant this afternoon and now has cleared concussion protocol. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Giants rookie receiver has missed the last two games after suffering a concussion in Week 4. A groin injury was added to his ailments but he was listed as a full participant in practice on Thursday. Assuming he's good to go, Nabers will be a WR1 value against the Eagles in Week 7.
| Malik Nabers Out for Week 6
Still in concussion protocol
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 11, 11:35 am
| | WR Malik Nabers (concussion) is OUT again this Sunday vs. Bengals, per Brian Daboll. (Jordan Raanan on X)
FFToday's Take: Nabers is having a difficult time getting cleared from the concussion he suffered in Week 4. This will be two games he's missed as a result. In his absence last week, we saw Darius Slayton play 90.3% of the snaps and command at 35.5% target share. He'll be in the WR3 conversation this week against the Bengals.
| Malik Nabers ruled Out for Week 5
Has yet to clear concussion protocol
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 4, 11:33 am
| | Giants HC Brian Daboll announced that Malik Nabers remains in concussion protocol and is out Sunday vs. the Seahawks. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Since Nabers was concussed Thursday of last week, there was some optimism that would be ready to go for Week 5. Not the case. The Giants passing game will feature Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson and perhaps Jalin Hyatt who has 3 targets and has yet to catch a pass this season. Robinson is a viable PPR option while Slayton is a risky Flex.
| Malik Nabers misses practice Thursday, concussion
Still in concussion protocol
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Oct 3, 12:45 pm
| | Daboll said WR Malik Nabers is making progress in the concussion protocol but he won’t be out on the field during practice. Daboll said they’ll wait as long as possible before making a determination for Sunday, but time is obviously running low to clear the remaining steps. I don’t see Nabers getting cleared for Sunday. (Dan Duggan on X)
FFToday's Take: It's looking more and more like Nabers is going to miss Week 5 against Seattle. Nabers suffered a concussion last Thursday in Week 4. If he misses, Darius Slayton will likely see the biggest benefit in the passing game although he'll be nothing more than a desperation Flex option.
