Malik Nabers fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Malik Nabers for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 or WR3
ANALYSIS: Malik Nabers, touted as one of the best rookie prospects heading into 2024, had a solid Week 1 performance as the Minnesota Vikings beat his New York Giants, 28-6. He had five receptions for 66 yards and finished with 11.60 (PPR). That was good enough for the WR32 finish overall.

Nabers, the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has all the talent in the world and will be an amazing fantasy player for years to come. The only problem he is currently facing, though, is very weak quarterback play.
Daniel Jones had an awful Week 1 performance, not even throwing for one touchdown. Until the Giants find a more reliable option or can get Jones playing better, there are limitations to Nabers reaching the WR1 status.
Another thing worth noting is that Nabers was limited in practice on Thursday with a knee injury. He still practiced, and this is the first we hear of the injury, so we can (hopefully) assume it will not prevent him from playing on Sunday. Pay attention for more news to come out Friday and Saturday, though.
That said, if he plays, Nabers feels like a must-start in all but the shallowest of fantasy leagues.
