Malik Nabers Fantasy Stats

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers erupted in Week 5, hauling in 11 of 20 targets for 121 yards and a touchdown in the 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. After a slow start to his 2026 season following a lengthy rehab from his torn ACL last season, Nabers has woken up. He's had 17 receptions for 233 yards and two touchdowns in back-to-back games and has formed strong chemistry with quarterback Jameis Winston. Now he faces a New Orleans Saints defense that has allowed big games to star receivers Justin Jefferson, Drake London, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Brock Bowers this season. In what should be a high-scoring affair against the fast-paced Saints offense, fantasy managers can fire up the star receiver as a WR1 in Week 6.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) believes he still has another 20 to 30 percent to reach as he works his way back from last year's torn ACL and meniscus, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. That's an encouraging assessment considering the 23-year-old has caught 17 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns on 27 targets over his last two games. Nabers followed a six-catch, 112-yard performance against Arizona in Week 4 with 11 receptions for 121 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 27-27 tie against Washington. His 20 targets against the Commanders were a career high, demonstrating how heavily quarterback Jameis Winston has leaned on him in the passing game. Nabers experienced some additional soreness in his surgically repaired knee last week but played through it without an apparent reduction in his workload. After a relatively quiet start to the season, he's beginning to resemble the receiver who caught 109 passes for 1,204 yards as a rookie in 2024. His recent target volume makes him a strong fantasy option heading into Sunday's Week 6 matchup against New Orleans.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has put his slow start behind him, catching 17 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns on 27 targets over the past two games. Those numbers are a sharp departure from his opening three outings, when he managed 12 receptions for 96 yards without a score. Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders offered the clearest evidence yet, as Nabers drew a career-high 20 targets, turning 11 into catches for 121 yards. He also hauled in a 17-yard touchdown with less than two minutes remaining to force overtime. The Giants won't throw 54 passes every week, and tight end Isaiah Likely's 13 targets against Washington show that Nabers isn't the only prominent receiving option. Even so, his connection with quarterback Jameis Winston has helped restore the heavy workload that made him such a valuable fantasy receiver before his 2025 knee injury. Nabers wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report and enters Sunday's home matchup with the New Orleans Saints as a strong WR1 option.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is off the injury report and in line to play against the division-rival Washington Commanders. After missing Wednesday's practice, Nabers practiced Thursday and Friday and is set to play in Week 5. He had a breakout game last week, hauling in six of seven targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in the 36-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The star receiver struggled early in the season but found a groove in Week 4 with new starting quarterback Jameis Winston. He faces an ideal matchup against the Commanders, which has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Though rain and wind could be a factor in Landover on Sunday, fantasy managers should feel comfortable starting Nabers as a solid WR2 in Week 5.

After missing Wednesday's practice and logging limited participation on Thursday, New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is trending in the right direction, with head coach John Harbaugh telling reporters on Friday that his Pro Bowl wideout will be ready to play in a Week 5 divisional clash with the Commanders. Nabers suffered a devastating leg injury in Week 4 of the 2025 season, and while he has played in all four contests of 2026, this was the first week since Week 1 that he returned to the injury report with soreness in his surgically repaired knee. Coming off his best performance of the young season, a six-catch, 112-yard outing against the Cardinals in which he caught his first touchdown of the year, Nabers is RotoBaller's WR12 for Week 5.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) was seen practicing during the portion open to the media on Thursday, according to Art Stapleton of The North Jersey Bergen Record. Nabers might not be a full participant on the final report, but it is good news that he is practicing at all after he was listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's practice due to soreness in his surgically-repaired knee. The Giants are most likely just being extra cautious with their star wide receiver. Barring a serious setback on Friday, Nabers should be active as the Giants take on the division-rival Washington Commanders on the road on Sunday. The former first-rounder's overall fantasy ceiling took a hit early on this year when starting quarterback Jaxson Dart (knee) was lost for the season, but he is still a must-start each week when he is healthy. In the Week 4 win over the Arizona Cardinals, while working with veteran QB Jameis Winston, Nabers caught six of his seven targets for a season-high 112 yards and his first touchdown of the season. Check back on Nabers' status for Friday's final injury report to get a better idea of his availability this weekend. UPDATE: Nabers was officially limited on Thursday.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is dealing with soreness in his surgically repaired right knee and is uncertain if he'll be able to play this week against the Commanders. Nabers said, "We'll see how the next day goes," when asked about his availability after practice on Wednesday. He also discussed his frustrations on the sideline in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Nabers said, "I felt like I didn't get targeted much after halftime," which is why he was waving his arms at the Giants' sideline and yelling to the coaching staff several times during the game. He did only get three targets in the second half, but it remains to be seen if coach John Harbaugh and his staff will allow Nabers to behave this way or if it will get him any more work. If he does overcome his knee issues and plays this week, he will be a solid WR3, according to RotoBaller's rankings, where he is the No. 26 WR for Week 5.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) did not practice on Wednesday due to a knee issue, per Connor Hughes of SNY. Hughes reports that Nabers admitted he was "more sore than usual." Nabers has recorded 18 catches for 208 yards and a touchdown on 26 targets across four games so far in 2026. The 23-year-old missed most of the 2025 season after suffering a serious knee injury in Week 4. While it's not yet clear if his current soreness is connected to his previous knee issues, Nabers' health status is obviously worth monitoring for fantasy managers leading into New York's Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders. If Nabers is unable to play in Week 5, Giants wideouts Malachi Fields, Darnell Mooney, and Charlie Jones could all be in line for expanded workloads against Washington.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers put together his best game of the season during Sunday's contest against the Arizona Cardinals. Nabers appears to be finally building some chemistry with quarterback Jameis Winston. The third-year wideout hauled in six of his seven targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in the win. The touchdown came on a 25-yard pass in the second quarter. The expectation was that Nabers would see his value decrease with Jaxson Dart (knee) done for the year. The 23-year-old might be okay with Winston tossing him deep balls. Nabers will have big-play upside against a shaky Washington Commanders defense in Week 5.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers caught five of six targets for 26 yards in the 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. Amid nasty weather and a run-first Giants offense, Nabers couldn't produce again, as he starts his season slowly. In three games, he has caught 12 of 19 targets for 96 yards, averaging 5.2 half-PPR fantasy points per game, which ranks him as the WR71 on a per-game basis. His struggles with quarterback Jameis Winston are evident, and both are hoping to bounce back against an Arizona Cardinals secondary that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. With Cardinals cornerbacks Will Johnson (neck) and Garrett Williams (achilles) ruled out and Max Melton (toe) questionable, Nabers and the Giants' receivers should be able to produce. As he looks to kick-start his slow start, Nabers is a low-end WR2 with WR1 upside in Week 4.
