Fantasy Football Draft Advice: NFL Preseason Takeaways
Wide Receiver
Malik Nabers was on the field for 30 of QB Daniel Jones‘ 33 snaps on Saturday. Giants WRs Wan’Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt and Darius Slayton each played 18-20 snaps with Jones. Nabers is likely to be the Giants’ only fantasy-relevant receiver.
Chiefs rookie Xavier Worthy played 15 of the 18 snaps that Patrick Mahomes played and had three catches for 62 yards, including a 39-yarder up the sideline and a 22-yard touchdown where Worthy got behind the Lions’ defense. It’s worth noting that Hollywood Brown didn’t play for Kansas City because of a shoulder injury, but Worthy should have a substantial role in the Chiefs passing game nevertheless.
Buffalo’s Khalil Shakir played fewer snaps than Mack Hollins and didn’t play in two-receiver sets, even though Curtis Samuel didn’t play in the Bills’ second preseason game. Shakir is still an intriguing later-round option, but this wasn’t the sort of usage Shakir enthusiasts are hoping for.
