Malik NabersWR
Adam Levitan upgraded Malik Nabers' rank from 38–39 to 30th overall on full PPR DraftKings following news that he will practice in August and play in September post-ACL/meniscus repair. Levitan argues that if Nabers can return by September, he will be 90–95% of himself by November–December when playoff stakes are highest; the Jets' week 16 matchup at Detroit and week 17 at Dallas are favorable spots. Levitan targets 8% exposure of Nabers at an average pick cost around 35th overall, acknowledging downside risk (aggravation, diminished performance) but favoring the late-season upside.

I think we're being too stubborn if we do not adjust on this Malik Nabers news... if Nabers can practice here sometime in August and play sometime in September, well then I'm way more confident that he can actually be 90 or 95% of himself by November, December... We've bumped his rank... We're back up now at 30th overall on full PPR DraftKings... if I had 8% of neighbors and an average pick cost around 35, I'd be pretty happy about that.
