Yes, Nabers was outstanding as a rookie two years ago—109 receptions, 1,204 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on the way to a sixth-place finish in PPR points. But last year Nabers made it just four games and 18 catches into the 2025 campaign before his season was ended by a torn ACL. Yes, Nabers dodged the PUP list to begin training camp, but that in no way guarantees that he will be ready for Week 1—or that he will be anywhere close to 100 percent until well into the 2026 season.

STACKED’s take

Nabers' ADP 38 ignores torn ACL; PUP avoidance doesn't guarantee Week 1 readiness.

Nabers is overvalued at ADP 38 due to primacy bias favoring his outstanding rookie season (109 receptions, 1,204 yards, 7 TDs, sixth in PPR) over his 2025 reality: he played just four games and 18 catches before a torn ACL ended his season; the source warns that dodging the PUP list does not guarantee Week 1 readiness or full health until well into 2026.
