Malik Nabers 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook
Malik Nabers 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook
The Giants drafted Malik Nabers No. 6 overall with the intention of making him their WR1 right away. That seems to be going according to plan so far as the former LSU star has been lighting up training camp. Nabers has been making highlight reel catches on a daily basis. He’s established himself as the alpha in the offense ahead of guys like Darius Slayton, Jaylin Hyatt, Isaiah Hodgins, and Wan’Dale Robinson.
And sure, it’s still Daniel Jones at quarterback. Of course it would have been nice to see Nabers paired with a better quarterback, but the target volume is going to be very high. Jones is going to funnel passes in Nabers’ direction. Even if they aren’t always the most accurate, the sheer volume of targets will be enough for him to be a guy we want to start on a weekly basis in fantasy football. He will get the most out of every catch, too. He is incredible with the ball in his hands, meaning he will always be gaining additional yardage and the team is surely going to feed him high-percentage manufactured touches like screens and jet sweeps as well.
The Next Elite WR?
Nabers was wildly productive over the last two years at LSU. He had more than 70 catches and 1,000 yards as a sophomore. Then followed that up with 89 for 1,569 and 14 touchdowns in 2023. His game is already translating so well to the NFL level. He’s a great route runner who has the versatility to line up in the X, Z, and slot positions. His speed allows him to create separation down the field on posts, go’s, and slot fades, but he can also dial it back to win in the short and intermediate areas of the field as well.
Nabers is in line for a 150 target rookie season and is likely going to be a top-15 scorer in fantasy football. A Ja’Marr Chase-like rookie campaign is absolutely in the range of outcomes. Think of Nabers as CeeDee Lamb with Daniel Jones at quarterback. You’re not drafting him top-5, but he’s still locked-and-loaded for a big season.
