From the episode
I'm a believer that Malik Nabors, if healthy again, I want to stress that caveat. If he's healthy, but Nabors is one of the most talented wide receivers in this game... With bad quarterback after bad quarterback, Malik Nabors has gotten it done. We're talking about a yards per route run rate well above 2, while seeing a target on over 30% of his routes run... I still think he should be ranked as a higher end wide receiver to rest of season.
STACKED’s take
Nabers' elite efficiency with bad QBs supports higher ranking with Winston upgrade.
JJ Zachariason argues Malik Nabers should be ranked as a higher-end wide receiver rest of season despite injury concerns. Nabers has demonstrated elite efficiency across multiple poor quarterbacks in 2024: 2.19 yards per route run with Daniel Jones (33% target rate on 277 routes), 2.56 with Drew Locke (31% target rate on 176 routes), 1.94 with Tommy DeVito (31% target rate on 48 routes), and 2.04 with Russell Wilson (26% target rate on 123 routes). With Jameis Winston now starting—who ranks first in passing yards per start (290 yards) among QBs with multiple starts in 2024 and has a 9-yard average depth of target—Nabers has an upside case. Zachariason acknowledges injury risk and potential offensive conservatism but frames current market sentiment as overly pessimistic, positioning Nabers as a buy-low opportunity given his elite talent and proven ability to produce with subpar quarterback play.
