Malik Nabers vs. DAL — Ready for Heavy Volume on Sunday Night

Malik Nabers logged a full practice on Wednesday and is listed as probable ahead of the opener against Dallas, confirming he is ready to roll following his knee recovery. Operating as the clear focal point of the Giants' passing game ahead of veterans like Odell Beckham Jr. and Darnell Mooney, Nabers is slated for a full workload.

Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats, reflected by his 92% start rate. Our weekly projection expects roughly 8 targets, 5 receptions, and 65 receiving yards for 14.3 fantasy points. In a matchup with high-scoring potential on Sunday night, Nabers brings legitimate WR1 upside.

Outlook Kenny Gainwell

Kenny Gainwell at Cincinnati: Complementary Role in a High-Scoring Matchup

Operating behind Bucky Irving in Tampa Bay's backfield, Kenny Gainwell enters Week 1 fully healthy. With fellow running back Sean Tucker sidelined at practice with a hamstring injury, Gainwell's change-of-pace and passing-down responsibilities are secure in what projects to be a high-scoring road matchup against the Bengals.

Our models project Gainwell for approximately 31 rushing yards on six carries to go with three receptions for 20 receiving yards. Although rostered in 95% of leagues, fantasy managers are starting him in only 20%, making him a situational PPR flex option whose ceiling relies heavily on passing-down game script.
