BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers is set to serve as the alpha pass catcher for Daniel Jones this season and should be considered a high-upside WR2 in the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
The former sixth-overall selection shined in his preseason debut as he caught four of his six targets for 54 yards against the Houston Texans. This was a great sign as he already showed strong chemistry with his quarterback and saw a high target share in just his first taste of professional ball.
Oh my, Malik Nabers 😳

At LSU last season, the 21-year-old posted his second straight 1,000-yard campaign with 14 touchdowns.
His regular season debut is currently set at a 41.5 O/U spread which is one of the lower totals of the weekend. However, fantasy managers should not be deterred from slotting Nabers into their lineup.
Even though Jones has struggled at times, Nabers should be in store for a massive target share that should provide not only a safe floor every week but also some nice upside in favorable matchups.
