J.J. McCarthy found Nabers early and often in his first start, and the quarterback change didn't slow his usage. Only 17% of his routes come off play-action and 5% feature motion at the snap, yet Receiver Score values his overall deployment at a 30% expected target rate. Nabers ran a route on 93% of the Giants' Week 7 dropbacks and has been targeted on 31% of his curls and hitches this season. He has accounted for 33.3% of the Giants' first-read targets in his games and remains an elite WR1 regardless of the quarterback.

Through his first five quarters with J.J. McCarthy at QB for the Giants, Nabers has maintained elite target volume and route participation; Week 7 marked the third consecutive game with at least 35% target share, 0.31 targets per route run, and fourth straight game running 91%+ of routes. He's topped 100 yards in each of those four games with two top-four overall positional finishes, demonstrating he is quarterback-proof regardless of the McCarthy transition.

Nabers led the Giants receiving tree at 31.0% adjusted target share (essentially flat from 30.6% in Week 6), catching 7 of 9 for 111 yards on 48 of 66 snaps (73%, down 13 points from 86% in Week 6). He posted a 94-yard first half and maintained the top target share with new QB J.J. McCarthy, though he received 9 targets (not 15), no touchdown, no red-zone look, and a 13-point snap drop. The source notes Nabers has four straight games with 100 yards and assesses that "McCarthy can at least keep Nabers afloat and well within the top 12 fantasy WRs ROS."

Nabers is quarterback-proof; it doesn't matter who is under center for the Giants. In J.J. McCarthy's first start, Nabers recorded 111 yards, his fourth consecutive 100-yard outing. McCarthy was very aggressive, with 19.2% of his passes going 20-plus yards, the fifth-highest rate in the league. Over the past two weeks, McCarthy's 23.3% 20-plus-yard pass rate leads the NFL, giving Nabers plenty of opportunities for explosive plays. Nabers ranks third in football in total air yards over the past two weeks while averaging 11.5 air yards per target.
