Malik Nabers, the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, had a quiet preseason debut with the New York Giants, failing to record any targets in a 14-3 win against the Lions. Despite running eight routes during his time on the field, he did not connect with quarterback Drew Lock, who exited the game due to a hip injury. Analysts suggest that Nabers is poised for a significant target share this season, especially with the departure of Saquon Barkley and the retirement of Darren Waller, but his performance will be better evaluated once he plays alongside starting quarterback Daniel Jones.
- Malik Nabers did not receive any targets in his preseason debut.
- His performance may improve once he plays with starting QB Daniel Jones.
- Expectations are high for Nabers to receive over 100 targets this season.
