Malik Nabers Week 2 Outlook - Giants at Commanders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Sep 13th 2024, 11:05pm EDT

In his first NFL game, Nabers finished as the WR32 in fantasy with a 16.7% target share, a 27.5% air-yard share, 1.38 YPRR, and a 31.8% first-read share. Among 78 qualifying receivers, he ranked 27th in separation and 53rd in route win rate. This is the perfect matchup for Nabers to show the world his talent if Jones can get him catchable targets, which is a massive question. Last week, oddly enough, it wasn't as 85.7% of his targets were catchable. Nabers will run about 88% of his routes against Benjamin St. Juste (75% catch rate and 131.8 passer rating) and Noah Igbinoghene (career: 56.5% catch rate and 110.3 passer rating). Nabers is dealing with a knee issue, but he has been deemed good to go for Week 2. He was limited in practice on Thursday before upgrading to a full session on Friday.
