Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Injury Replacements: Malik Nabers

Fantasy Football Injury Outlook

Malik Nabers (knee) game-time decision for Week 1

Malik Nabers (knee) will be a game-time decision for the Week 1 contest between the New York Giants against the Dallas Cowboys Sunday night according to Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact

Nabers continues to work back from a severe knee injury suffered during the 2025-26 season and could potentially leave head coach John Harbaugh without his top pass-catching option in a key Week 1 divisional matchup. Fantasy managers will need to have another option ready to plug into lineups whether it be in one of the earlier kickoff windows Sunday or an available option in the Monday night contest between the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos.
