2025 Season Outlooks

Nabers was dominant in his rookie season in just about every advanced metric. He had the fourth-best separation score among all receivers, accounted for 37% of the Giants' total targets, 41% of the team's total receiving yards (most in the NFL among WRs), and 58% of their receiving touchdowns. He averaged 18.2 PPR points per game as a rookie, topping Justin Jefferson's 17.1 rookie season. Nabers led the NFL in targets per game (11.3) and the Giants didn't add any major assets at receiver this offseason in the draft or free agency. What they did do is upgrade at quarterback, signing Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and drafting Jaxson Dart. Wilson was the most efficient deep passing quarterback in 2024 and Nabers had the fourth-most unrealized air yards (876). Wilson's skill set is an excellent fit for Nabers and he should be drafted no later than the back-end of Round 1. In full-PPR leagues, Nabers belongs in the top half of Round 1 of your Fantasy drafts.

Nabers is coming off one of the best seasons by a rookie receiver in some time. The 2024 No. 6 overall pick led the NFL with a 35% target share and finished seventh or better among receivers in targets, receptions, yards and fantasy points despite missing two games and dealing with New York's offensive struggles. Nabers' massive target share allowed him a high floor, as he was a top-30 fantasy scorer in 13 of 15 games, including 10 straight to end the season. He appears to be the real deal and his outlook is even better in 2025 with Russell Wilson (and perhaps Jaxson Dart and/or Jameis Winston) under center. Nabers is on the short list of receivers who could lead the position in fantasy points and is a solid WR1 target in fantasy.�

He was targeted on 29.7% of his routes, ranking first-most out of 72 wide receivers with at least 355 routes last season. That equated to a league-leading 11 targets per game.
He scored a minimum of eight PPR points every game he played but only had three games above 85 receiving yards.
His new quarterback is Russell Wilson. Wilson’s history of checkdown passes will likely lead to fewer targets for Nabers, but his deep ball accuracy should help make up for the checkdowns with more big plays by Nabers.
