BALLER MOVE: Target around 30 overall
CURRENT ADP: 42
ANALYSIS: Malik Nabers is the talk of the town across the social media universe. The New York Giants rookie wide receiver is a star in the making and would be much more expensive in drafts if not for his quarterback, Daniel Jones.
After multiple years of disappointment from highly touted young WRs on bad offenses (Garrett Wilson/Drake London), fantasy drafters have become much more wary of great young talents in bad offenses.
However, Nabers' price is palatable on formats like Yahoo! and ESPN where his ADP sits past pick 40. He is a top-20 pick now on high-stakes formats like NFC and FFPC while regularly going in the second round of Underdog.
Nabers has minimal competition with the Giants as the next best pass catcher is Wan'Dale Robinson. Also, while Jones is a bad QB, he is not unplayable like a Zach Wilson or Tim Boyle.
We have witnessed flashes of competence from Jones in 2022 and his rookie season. If he can bounce back from his torn ACL and play like those seasons, Nabers is in for a fantastic season with a monster target share (potentially 30%).
