Malik's first surgery was done on October 28, 2025. He needed a second one to clean up excessive scar tissue, which was causing constant joint stiffness. There is no way Nabers should be anywhere close to a top 20 WR in 2026, in my humble opinion.

Nabers' dual ACL surgeries and scar tissue make WR12 price unsustainable.

Mark Ringo (Sleepers and Busts) identifies Nabers as a bust at ADP 28.3 (WR12) due to injury recovery concerns. Nabers is coming off two surgeries to repair his torn ACL; his first surgery was done on October 28, 2025, and he needed a second one to clean up excessive scar tissue, which was causing constant joint stiffness. Ringo argues there is zero chance Nabers will be 100% at any part of the 2026 season, as it takes most athletes two years after their surgery until they feel 100%. Nabers should not be anywhere close to a top 20 WR in 2026.
