WR Malik Nabers, NYG (1 Viewer)

Jesse Morse, MD
Malik Nabers

The Athletic’s Charlotte Carroll notes that Nabers said back in October that he’s been dealing with this groin issue since college.

Nabers told ESPN’s Jordan Raanan on Friday that he expects to play on Sunday.

My take: This is a chronic groin (adductor) strain for Nabers. It will wax and wane. When it’s ‘angry’ he won’t be able to do much, and will limit his explosiveness.

In the off-season, it would be in Nabers’ best interest to actually have this injected with stem cells. The problem with this tissue is that it has a tendency to develop scarring at where it attaches to the pubic symphysis and as a result, the tissue never gets back to 100% and allows re-injuries to occur.

I did one of these last week, and if you put the needle in the right spot, you can get great results. Usually something like this being as chronic as it is, PRP is not strong enough for that type of tissue. You can consider surgery, but most people don’t want to go that route because it’s really painful and debilitating.

Well that sounds not good. Hope he can get it right for next season.
 
Anyone sitting him in the morning games? Still starting him over underperforming WR's like DJ Moore and the likes...

Sitting for Mike Evans & CeeDee at WR1/2 and Terry McLaurin or Jonathan Taylor (haven't decided) at flex.
 
I picked Odunze over Nabors in my rookie draft where I was in position to have either this off season; so not only not a biased owner, but capable of admitting when I missed on things like it looks like I did with that pick so far.

You seem to have a technological device and internet which allows you to post on this forum. So I know you have the means, and I can only hope you're also capable of googling this yourself. I'm not positing some random off the wall quote from a singular article that's locked behind a paywall. Every dynasty rankings site and auction chart I've seen the past 3 months have Nabers ahead of AJB, most by quite a bit. And here you are asking me for a source the sky is blue rather than tilting your head back 30 degrees and looking up. It's obnoxious, and I won't enable obnoxious behavior.

Also, I don't care if you accept reality or not. It doesn't effect me.
So you don't have a source and are just posting your opinion. Got it.
 
Most places do have Nabers ranked in the top 10 which is fair considering how he's looked early in his career without a QB, and he's only 21.
I don't dispute this, I have him right there too. My question is about AJB only being "70%" of the way there. I can see Nabers over AJB, the age is a big difference, but where does "70%" come from? The primary source I use is DLF which has them neck and neck as WR4 and WR6 respectively.

It's his opinion? An arbitrary number? I don't know, I can't really break it down into percentages, but I will say it would take something significant included with AJB to get my Nabers and still I would be second guessing myself unless I was in need at another position and got another young piece at that position. Rankings and extrapolated trade values are dumb IMHO.

Still debating this. I've got Ladd McConkey (who is also banged up w/ shoulder issue) and considering starting him over Nabers.

LAC plays Monday night and I did pick up Josh Palmer just in case McConkey is inactive.

If there were no health issues w/ either, I think I roll w/ Nabers but the QB situation also concerns me. The idea that he can start then get pulled due the injury looms large but then if I don't, he goes for 125 and 2 ha ha.

I’m likely starting him. Bad BYE week. Only other option is Pierce, whose value is spotty with ARich behind center. I figure similar floor, Nabers better potential ceiling.
 
If you were Devito, who would you look to get the ball to?
That’s my working theory
Agreed. I think the Giants offense has two options today. Tracy & Nabers.
Nabers does not seem to be an option.
Worst then the fact that he doesn’t even have a target in the first half, the O has been completely ineffective, is the fact I haven’t even seen Tommy look his way as an option. He’s not even the first read. WTF.

Hey, it’s the Malik Nabers drive.

And it works.

lol.

Crazy how that works. Getting the ball to your best player is a good idea. Who woulda thought.
 
Threw a lot of shade after the game today. Should probably just work on his own game, learning the pro game, etc., and stay healthy for next year when he'll be Shadeur's #1 option and Deion will be calling plays that show off his arm.
 
I certainly didn't have "suck equally with Devito" on my Bingo card. I feel bad for Nabers. Drafted into this organization and having to play on that field each week. His career will be over before it really begins and I believe he is one of the greatest talents we've seen at WR in the last few decades. WASTE. Hopefully Saquon can text him the appropriate support groups to join in NY.

Who'd he throw under the bus this time? I like his fire. Losing sucks. Getting open and having balls hit the ground in front of you or sail over your head, or worse, unnecessarily lead you into a huge hit has to get old quick. The Giants, Jets and Raiders are so amazingly dysfunctional. ETA - The Cowboys and Jags too!
 
Probably not going to win him many fans in the locker room, but that ship has already sailed. Just throwing more dirt on Daboll’s grave at this point.
 
Didn't hear Nabers' comments; only read them but he doesn't seem to be the only one:


Seems like a lot of frustration to go around but if he wasn't even targeted in the first half of a blowout loss I believe he has a right to be frustrated and express as much.

In no way condone what he said, in fact it's stupidity.

but, he'll be fine in the locker room I imagine... seems the vast majority were against Dimes getting cut and the beef is w coaching. so the locker room probably united on this.

But terrible look from any player, esp a rookie

In THAT organization? Seems like the entire team is on "just don't get injured and find a way to get the hell-outta-here" mode. And who can blame them.

Team Sanders can't save that organization.
 
Ownership appears to be tanking (of course) for a QB. I’d be pissed too if I was a player on the team knowing the best players left on team weren’t playing QB wise what’s left on the team. Coaching staff is done. How can you not scheme up your best offensive weapon in first half (yes a Nabers dynasty owner lol)…

I agree if your top picks are like how quick can I leave your organization is totally screwed.

It's just an awful strategy. You blow up any trust that you may have had with the remaining players and zero (0) guarantee on any QB prospect playing with grown men that get paid to ruin their lives for the first time.

Sanders (for example) is a great bust candidate. Assuming dad stays in NCAA - and I think he will - NYG situation is a perfect mess to ruin any QB coming in.
 
Would you guys prefer Nabers or Puka in dynasty?

Nabers is the better player, but he has no QB and his coaches don't know how to use him, so there's uncertainty. Puka isn't as athletic, and his injury history isn't great, but he is the exact right fit in the offensive scheme for a coach who will be around for a while and knows how to use him.

In dynasty, I'd take Nabers. He's already good while playing on a dumpster fire of a team. Just think how good he'll be when Rodgers is throwing to him. :excited:
 
sucks but I'm probably sitting him ROS......can't imagine this gets any better and while I want to believe in these guys being "professionals" and doing their job "no matter what"....I just don't see that happening....unfortunately human nature takes over......for the super stars like Nabers still looking to get another HUGE contract or their first huge contract continuing to bust your *** on every play and risk getting hurt for whats going on there doesn't make much sense...it's not like Nabers needs to put things on film to audition for other teams or a bigger contract like an average player might have to do....he has shown what he can do....I look at the NYG players in the same light as like CMC and the hundreds of players that followed him sitting out meaningless bowl games....whats the point....?...and that attitude isn't great for fantasy.....just go through the motions and get the season over with....
 
I'm just hoping for the 'ol squeaky wheel treatment to occur due to this. Of course, that requires an NFL-caliber QB to get him the ball.
 
The problem is that td odds are very low. So he needs huge volume to put up solid WR2 numbers. Still like him in a flex spot though.
 
He did have over 100 yards with 12 catches and 15 targets earlier this year against the Cowboys who they play on Thanksgiving
