if we take 80 – let's say 85% of his career fantasy points per game. He's still like the wide receiver 13... Malik Nabors had a 30% target rate in 2024... Jordan Ronan who said that he thinks he's going to be closer to the Andrew Thomas situation, which he came back in week three... he could be eligible for week one

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Nabors' round-4 ADP undervalues his 30% target rate and potential week-1 return.

Nabors has fallen from top-20 to round-four ADP due to injury concerns, but the source argues the discount is overdone; using 85% of his career PPG, he projects as WR13, and he had a 30% target rate in 2024 (matching only Jackson Smith-Njigba, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jamar Chase, and Justin Jefferson). The source cites Jordan Ronan's report that Nabors could be eligible for week one (similar to Andrew Thomas's return timeline) and expects the Giants offense to improve from 31st in scoring when he played. The source ranks him 25th overall and would take him over DeAndre Washington, suggesting the injury discount is fully priced in.
