The source rates Nabers as undervalued at Round 4 (WR19 ADP). Since going sixth overall to the Giants in 2024, Nabers has averaged 18.24 fantasy points per game, sixth among wide receivers. He's seen at least seven targets in every game he's finished and hit double-digit fantasy points in 16 of 18 full contests he's played. Nabers is expected to avoid the PUP list. Even if Nabers starts the season slow, his fantasy impact down the stretch is being grossly undervalued. When healthy, Nabers is a locked-and-loaded PPR WR1 with No. 1 overall upside.
