From the article

he'll need the Giants to treat him like Tetairoa McMillan - a limited route runner who does his best work against zone coverage, off-man...He can't run timing routes right now...If you can sell high on Nabers, this is the week to do it.

STACKED’s take

Nabers' knee limits him to zone coverage; sell high after 100-yard game.

Despite his 100-yard Week 4 game, Nabers' knee remains a limiting factor; he cannot run timing routes and showed no ability to drop weight into sudden breaks. He thrives only against zone coverage and off-man looks, not man-to-man. The source recommends selling high on Nabers this week, as his current WR28 ranking (11.6 yards per game average) overstates his value until his ability to snap off hard breaks recovers in 2027.
