Nabers' 4–6 game absence elevates Likely to Giants' top target role.

Malik NabersWRNYG

Nabers is projected to miss 4–6 games to start the season and is listed on the PUP list in projections. His absence directly elevates Isaiah Likely to the Giants' number-one target role; even upon return, Nabers would ramp up gradually and Likely would remain the number-two target. If Nabers misses six games, Likely gets a very fast start.
