Fantasy Football Drop Candidates
Read about fantasy football players to consider dropping for Week 5:
Malik Nabers, WR, New York Giants
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (right knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm his diagnosis of a torn ACL, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Nabers suffered a severe knee injury while attempting to make a catch near the sideline during the first quarter of Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Several NFL media insiders have already reported that the Giants fear Nabers tore his ACL, but we won't get official confirmation until Monday.
Assuming his season is over, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton will operate as the primary receivers in Jaxson Dart's offense.
