New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers stole the show in Week 2, putting on an impressive display despite his team’s 24-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
Nabers hauled in 7 receptions for 123 yards and a touchdown, showcasing his speed, agility, and chemistry with quarterback Daniel Jones.
The 2024 3rd-round draft pick out of Louisiana State University has been gaining momentum in training camp and preseason. Sunday’s game marked his official arrival in the NFL.
“Malik’s been making plays since camp started. He’s got a great work ethic and instincts. We’re excited about his future,” Daboll said in the post-game press conference.
As the Giants’ slot receiver, Nabers provides a reliable target for Jones. His ability to create separation and make contested catches has drawn comparisons to former Giant Odell Beckham Jr.
Nabers’ breakout performance has fantasy owners taking notice. He’s now a coveted waiver wire pickup, with many experts predicting a WR3/flex role moving forward.
Nabers’ emergence validates the Giants’ offseason focus on rebuilding their receiving corps. General Manager Joe Schoen’s strategic moves are paying dividends.
The Giants face the Cleveland Browns in Week 3, with Nabers likely to see increased attention from defenders. Can he continue his momentum and help the Giants secure their first win?
