2024 Season Outlooks

Simply put, Nabers is an elite wide receiver prospect who landed in a very difficult situation for pass catchers. We are united in viewing Nabers as a top-two wide receiver in this rookie class and a top-12 wide receiver in Dynasty, worthy of a draft pick as early as 1.02 in rookie-only drafts. We're less certain what he'll do in 2024 while catching passes from Daniel Jones and/or Drew Lock. Nabers the prospect leaves little room for doubt; he has the size, speed, production, and draft profile of a future star. He just delivered 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns as a 20-year-old in the SEC. We have no doubts about him in the NFL other than his Year 1 situation. If you want Nabers in redraft you may have to reach into Round 5, but we're more comfortable with him in Round 7 or later.

The Giants desperately needed an offensive gamebreaker with big-play ability at wide receiver, someone they can line up anywhere, and they got it by securing Nabers with the sixth overall pick in the April draft. Nabers dominated at LSU, averaging better than 12 yards per target in his final season, and with a huge target share, but things are quite different in the Giants' offense. They struggle to throw the football downfield with Daniel Jones at QB. Nabers has the skills to change the offense and become a fantasy star, but it is tough to recommend him as more than WR3 initially.
