When Is Malik Nabers Coming Back? Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 7 (2024)

Malik Nabers - Fantasy Football Rankings, WR, Waiver Wire, NFL DFS, Rookies

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) didn't take long to establish himself as a superstar in this league. He went on an absolute tear to start the season, scoring double-digit PPR fantasy points in all four of his games and ripping off three straight with 20 or more.

Through four games, he had 35 catches on 52 targets for 386 yards and three touchdowns. He was on pace to put up incredible full-season numbers before suffering an injury and being forced out of his Week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys.

So is Malik Nabers coming back this week? What will the rest of his season look like when he returns?

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2024:

 

Malik Nabers Injury Update for Fantasy Football

It was somewhat of a surprise when Nabers was held out of his second consecutive game after suffering a concussion in Week 4. Typically, players with long rest weeks (the week after a Thursday game) tend to have enough time to recover from concussions to be put back into the lineup.

That said, the prognosis for concussions is very different from player to player, so this may have taken longer to recover from. It also could be that the Giants are taking every possible precaution with their prized rookie star and want to make sure he's absolutely 100% before he returns.

It's highly unlikely that he will miss another game. Fantasy managers should expect him back in Week 7. Concussions rarely cause absences of three weeks or longer.

 

Malik Nabers Fantasy Football Outlook

He's on the short list of players who have a realistic shot at finishing top-5 in points per game at their position. Nabers is a stud and has been the focal point of the Giants offense from Week 2 onward. He averaged a ridiculous 15 targets per game during that stretch.

The former LSU Tiger must be started in all games he plays. He's an absolute no-brainer. The NFL record for targets in a season is 202, set by Marvin Harrison Sr. in 2002, and Nabers could have broken that record had he been able to stay healthy. He could finish the season in elite all-time company anyway. He's a stud.

Start him in all leagues if he plays (obviously).
