Malik Nabers, New York Giants

Malik Nabers fell out of bed into double-digit targets, and he did that again over the weekend in Washington, but he hauled in just five of 12 for 71 yards and was held out of the end zone.

The Giants were a mess and Nabers still gets you a dozen PPR points, something that feels like his floor given the role in an offense that figures to be operating with an aggressive script more often than not this season.

The quarterback situation is what it is. Russell Wilson’s status as passively threatened this week, and while a change won’t be made for now, I’m not sure it matters.

The limitations of this offense as a whole are going to keep Nabers out of my top tier at the position, but the overwhelming nature of opportunities makes it impossible to rank him outside of the top 15.

Last season, he earned 28 targets on his 77 routes against Dallas as a rookie, totaling 20 catches and 184 yards in the process. In those contests, the Giants made it a point to get their best player involved – the majority of those receptions came no more than five yards down the field.

The Cowboys are coming off a historically bad season in terms of defending the red zone, and Wilson may be playing for his job: this is about as optimistic as I’m going to get for Nabers to find paydirt, and that’s why he’s my WR3 for this week.
