Entering the 2025 season, New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was widely considered one of the top players in his position in fantasy football. Nabers finished his rookie season with 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns, and did so with inconsistent quarterback play.

This season, Nabers looks to pick up where he left off with Russell Wilson, or whoever is throwing him the ball. But after Week 1, Nabers has already appeared on the injury report.

Nabers was limited in practice on Wednesday due to a back injury, but was a full participant on Thursday. At the time of writing, Nabers doesn't have an injury designation and is expected to be ready to go in Week 2.

In the Giants' season-opening loss to the Washington Commanders, Nabers was Russell Wilson's number one target. He had the second-most receptions (5) last week by any Giants player and led the team in receiving yards (71) and had four more targets (12) than any other player.

Last season, Nabers recorded 20 receptions for 184 yards in two games against the Cowboys.
