Malik Nabers (Giants) vs. Cowboys: As a 21-year-old rookie, Nabers had an elite 2024 campaign (109-1,204-7 receiving on 170 targets, 15 games; No. 2 WR in Utilization Score at 91, per our Fantasy Life Utilization Report). In 2025, Nabers (knee) suffered a season-ending injury in Week 4, but for the first month he was a small-sample usage king (league-high 51% air yard share). He's uncertain for Week 1, but if he plays, I feel sadly certain that he'll destroy my Cowboys, against whom last year in Week 2 he scored 33.2 fantasy points (9-167-2 receiving, 13 targets).
