Malik Nabers Fantasy Football Outlook
The 6th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft by the New York Giants, Malik Nabers just finished a stellar career at LSU, logging 86 catches for 1,546 yards and 14 TDs. Nabers was remarkably consistent against tough SEC defenses, gaining over 100 receiving yards in 9/12 regular season games. Nabers was a human highlight reel with elite speed, quickness, hands and YAC ability.

While Nabers joins the Giants, who had a poor offense in 2023, and has Daniel Jones and an underwhelming QB coming off an ACL tear on his plant leg, Nabers should command an elite target share. Jalin Hyatt and Darius Slayton are not high-level target competitors. Nabers commanded a monster target and air-yard share during the preseason.

Nabers could flirt with 150+ targets in 2024, setting him up for a monster season in full-PPR leagues. Nabers' ADP sits at 45, 5 spots below Moore.
Marvin Harrison Jr. Fantasy Football Outlook
Touted as one of the best WR draft prospects ever, Marvin Harrison Jr. dominated at Ohio State for two straight years, racking up 139 catches for an astonishing 2,368 yards and 26 TDs. Even more impressively, his stat line improved even after elite QB CJ Stroud left for the NFL. Harrison has no shortage of ridiculous plays and is one of the most polished prospects of all time.

Harrison looks to be pro-ready from day one. Unlike Nabers, Harrison has some competition for targets in Arizona, with Trey McBride coming off an excellent season, fellow receiver Michael Wilson poised to improve off his first season, and Zay Jones coming in from the Jaguars. Harrison should still put up fantastic numbers, but his ADP is sky-high at 15.
Who Should I Draft in Fantasy Football?
When taking into account ADP, the choice is clear: Malik Nabers is the best draft choice for your team out of these players. With a draft pick between 13-17, you can choose sure-fire studs like Puka Nacua, Garrett Wilson, and Travis Etienne Jr. This way, you can avoid the big risk of spending such a precious selection on a rookie.
You can then choose Nabers in the later rounds and have a player who's likely to score similar numbers to Harrison in full PPR. It's very close though, the margin is razor-thin between Nabers and Moore, but Nabers' potential target numbers are just too tantalizing in full PPR as the only weapon on the Giants offense.
