From the article

Nabers (ACL) is trending toward playing in Week 1 and, if he does, he should be in lineups. There's risk that he may be somewhat limited in his first game action since Week 4 of last season, but he'll certainly be on the field when New York is passing and, considering he cost you a second- or third-round pick, it's unlikely that you have a better alternative on your bench. In 18 full games in his career, Nabers has a massive 35% target share (11.3 per game) and he's averaging 18.2 fantasy PPG

Nabers trending to play; 35% career target share supports start.

Nabers (ACL) is trending toward playing in Week 1 and, if he does, he should be in lineups. There's risk that he may be somewhat limited in his first game action since Week 4 of last season, but he'll certainly be on the field when New York is passing. In 18 full games in his career, Nabers has a massive 35% target share (11.3 per game) and he's averaging 18.2 fantasy PPG, so he can afford a short-term dip in usage and still provide starting-caliber numbers. The Dallas defense is expected to be better this season, but cornerback remains a potential weakness, which only helps Nabers' cause in Week 1.
