Malik Nabers went full alpha in this game, earning 18 targets on 28 Daniel Jones pass attempts. His step up in volume came directly at the expense of Robinson, who led the team with 12 targets in Week 1. He saved the day for fantasy purposes with a seven-yard score at the top of the fourth quarter. Nabers won't see over half of the Giants' targets every week, but he has already cemented himself a the team's top target. Robinson, in turn, will top out at a WR4 fantasy ranking heading into his Week 3 matchup with the Browns.
Robinson's pointless checkdowns led the Giants in targets as Daniel Jones looked like a rookie playing against Brian Flores' elite defense, though Malik Nabers still out-gained him 66-44. We suppose Robinson could subsist off these looks as a last-gasp WR5, but fantasy managers need to be thinking bigger ahead of the Giants' Week 2 matchup with the Commanders.
Malik Nabers predictably led the Giants in receiving, but Wan'Dale Robinson cornered the market on scammy check-down targets. Between those two, there is little room for Slayton to thrive at the moment. He remains miles from 12-team re-draft relevance.
Giants WR Malik Nabers caught five of seven targets for 66 yards against the Minnesota Vikings. He was the second most targeted player on Giants, behind WR Wan'Dale Robinson who caught 6 of his 12 targets in the game.
McKenzie suffered a knee laceration and right foot injury in the Giants' third preseason game. The 29-year-old vet played in 13 games for the Colts last season before being suspended three games for conduct detrimental to the team. The Giants signed him in March to add to a slot-heavy receiving corps. He had a role as returner, and his injury will open up special teams snaps and some slot snaps. Gunner Olszewski, the Giants' other returner, is recovering from a groin injury. Wan'Dale Robinson stands to benefit from getting increased kick-returning and slot-receiving snaps.
