Malik Nabers

While we might have worries about the landing spot, there are two undeniable facts here. Nabers is a stone-cold baller, and he will vacuum up all the targets he can handle in 2024. During his final year at LSU, Nabers ranked third in YPRR, first in PFF receiving grade, and fourth in missed tackles forced. Nabers is the clear WR1 for New York this season, and it's not particularly close. No Giants wide receiver managed over a 16.9% target share last year, so there's no one standing in Nabers' way of soaking up a 23-25% target share in his rookie season. The Giants threw the ball 518 times last year. If Nabers can earn a 25% target share and the Giants don't pass any more than they did last season, he will theoretically see 130 targets. That would have been tied for 19th in targets among wide receivers last season. I'm willing to invest in Nabers' talent, and I'm just praying that we get at least league-average quarterback play from Daniel Jones and company this season.

The New York Giants have selected WR Malik Nabers with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Nabers has the build and pedigree to immediately step in as the Giants WR1. The former LSU Tiger tallied 1,569 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns on 89 receptions last season. Nabers will have the challenge of having a major question mark at quarterback in his rookie season, as he will likely be catching passes from Drew Lock to start the season.
