Malik Nabers Undergoes Second Knee Surgery
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) underwent a second surgery on his right knee to remove scar tissue that was causing stiffness, sources told Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Duggan was told that the second surgery took place "multiple weeks ago," and it was described as a "clean-up." It's not expected to impact Nabers' recovery timeline, and the Giants are still hoping that he will be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September. The 22-year-old wideout first had ACL and meniscus surgery back on Oct. 28 of last year. Nabers tore his ACL and meniscus in Week 4 of last season and finished with just 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns in his sophomore season. While the Giants don't seem to be too worried, it's something that we will watch closely, and it could affect Nabers' readiness for the start of training camp at the end of July. We already know that Nabers is one of the best pass-catchers in the game when healthy, but the risk of him coming off major knee surgery cannot be ignored. When fully healthy, there shouldn't be anything stopping Nabers from being a high-end WR1 in fantasy. In dynasty formats, RotoBaller has the former sixth overall pick ranked as the No. 5 wideout, behind Ja'Marr Chase, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Puka Nacua, and Justin Jefferson.
