Malik Nabers Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Giants WR Malik Nabers caught eight passes on 12 targets for 78 yards and two TDs. He even threw an incomplete pass in the game as the jack-of-all-trades weapon for the Giants win against the Cleveland Browns

Giants WR Malik Nabers drew 18 targets on 28 Daniel Jones pass attempts in the Week 2 loss to the Commanders. That's a massive 64.3% target share. The rookie turned that volume into 10 catches, 127 yards, and his first career TD. Nabers was running free against a bad Washington secondary all game long, and Jones was accurate for the most part. Nabers did have a bad drop on fourth down late in the fourth quarter that potentially cost the Giants the game. But fantasy owners have nothing to complain about after this big game.

Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) is not listed on the final Week 2 injury report. After being added on Thursday and limited in practice with a knee, he was a full participant in Friday's workout. The rookie should be ready for a full workload in Sunday's pristine matchup vs. the Commanders.

Giants HC Brian Daboll said Friday that he has “no concern” about the knee issue that landed WR Malik Nabers on Thurday's injury report. Nabers said his knee didn’t “feel right” during practice yesterday, according to Daboll, so the team played it safe in limiting him in practice. Daboll added that he expects Nabers to practice fully on Friday and play against the 49ers on Sunday.

The Giants added WR Malik Nabers to the practice report as limited Thursday with a knee injury. That indicates he hurt the joint in practice. We'll watch for more details on the issue and the rookie's Week 2 outlook.

Giants WR Malik Nabers caught five of seven targets for 66 yards against the Minnesota Vikings. He was the second most targeted player on Giants, behind WR Wan'Dale Robinson who caught 6 of his 12 targets in the game.

Giants WR Malik Nabers (ankle) will practice on Thursday and "has a chance" to play in Saturday's preseason game, HC Brian Daboll said. Nabers suffered a minor ankle injury four days ago.

Giants WR Malik Nabers (ankle) told the media Tuesday that he has "no doubt" he'll be ready for Week 1. Nabers remained sidelined for practice but was on the sidelines without any protection on that injured ankle. He added that he was able to do some jogging without a wrap on his ankle.

Giants HC Brian Daboll gave an update on WR Malik Nabers' ankle injury following Monday's practice. “They’re still doing evaluation on him but he's a little sore today, so we'll back off him and take it from there," Daboll said. “I don't think it's fractured. He just twisted up a little bit, wasn't on contact or anything like that.”

Giants WR Malik Nabers suffered an apparent left ankle injury in Sunday's training camp session, according to The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll. The team believes it's a "minor ankle sprain," Carroll adds, but Nabers is expected to undergo further testing.

Giants WR Malik Nabers' dominant training camp has continued in joint practices against the Lions over the past two days. He's caught 16 of 17 targets vs. Detroit's secondary. SNYtv's Connor Hughes says it's the best any receiver has looked in camp since he started covering the Giants and Jets in 2014. That stretch has included Odell Beckham, Brandon Marshall, and Garrett Wilson.

Giants QB Daniel Jones has struggled in training camp so far, according to SNY's Connor Hughes. Jones has regularly come up short on deep balls and been inaccurate on shorter passes. It's been a "common occurrence to see Jones simply missing his wide-open guys," Hughes writes.

WR Malik Nabers has been the most impressive player at Giants camp so far, according to most accounts. The rookie has impressed with his downfield speed, route running, and hands.

Giants QB Daniel Jones (knee) has been fully cleared for contact to start training camp, the team announced Wednesday. Jones is set to participate in all 11-on-11 work, which he didn't do in the spring. “He will play every snap the (first-team offense) is in,” HC Brian Daboll said, adding that the team will monitor Jones closely throughout camp.

Giants HC Brian Daboll has been calling plays on offense so far this offseason, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. OC Mike Kafka handled those duties over the past two years. The team hasn't officially announced the change, but it looks like it'll be Daboll at the controls this season.

The Giants drafted WR Malik Nabers sixth overall. Nabers is an explosive athlete, confirmed by a 4.35-second 40 time and 42-inch vertical at his Pro Day. Those are 91st- and 97th-percentile marks for his position. A big play waiting to happen both after the catch and going deep, Nabers averaged 15.9 yards per catch for his college career. He flashed as a freshman at LSU and then broke out as a sophomore, leading the team with 72 catches and 1,017 yards. Then came a massive junior season: 89 catches, 1,569 yards, and 14 TDs. Nabers led the FBS in plays of 20+ yards (34) and 30+ yards (17). He also led all 286 qualifying WRs in Pro Football Focus receiving grade and ranked third in yards per route. In many ways, his 2023 season was better than Marvin Harrison Jr.’s. Nabers isn’t as polished as Harrison, needing work on his route running and ball skills. But his pure athleticism should create plenty of 2024 fantasy value. And his long-term fantasy ceiling might be higher than Harrison’s. The Giants present opportunity for Nabers to immediately lead the team in targets. The team picking him instead of a QB in Round 1 also bodes well for the 2024 fantasy outlook of QB Daniel Jones, who has been going at the bottom of QB3 territory in early best ball drafting.
