Malik Nabers injury update: Should Fantasy managers be concerned for Giants WR for Week 15 Fantasy Football?

Fantasy football managers who have Malik Nabers on their team can breathe easier as he is set to play in Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens despite earlier injury concerns. The New York Giants rookie wide receiver continues to battle through a challenging season with remarkable resilience.

Nabers opened the week with a limited practice on Wednesday, following last week's hip injury. He played his usual complement of snaps despite initial concerns about potential limitations. This sets him up for another opportunity to showcase his talents against a vulnerable Ravens defense.

The rookie's statistical profile remains solid. Malik Nabers ranks 24th among WRs with 102.1 fantasy points. He's averaging 9.3 fantasy points per game and has become a target monster. He leads the league with eight games of double-digit targets.

Over the past three games, Malik Nabers has collected 19 receptions on 32 targets for 212 yards. His best game came in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns where he scored 20.2 fantasy points with eight catches, 78 yards and two touchdowns.

Malik Nabers is chasing history. With 80 receptions already this season, he's on track to potentially break the Giants' rookie reception record of 107 set by Steve Smith in 2009. His pace of 7.3 receptions per game suggests that he could finish with 109 receptions.

Sunday's matchup against the Ravens presents an intriguing fantasy opportunity. Baltimore boasts the 32nd-ranked passing defense, allowing 264.9 yards per game. The Ravens have surrendered TDs to 16 different players and allowed six players to collect over 100 receiving yards.

Projections look promising for Nabers. He is expected to score 16.7 fantasy points in PPR formats. This includes a projected 3.3 receptions for 99 yards and 0.6 TDs.

"As a receiver, that's your landmark for over a year," Nabers told the media on Wednesday. "College, whether it be the league, you want to hit 1,000 yards. So yeah, 1,000 yards is in my head for sure."

Notably, Nabers is the only player in NFL history with five or more catches in 10 of his first 11 career games. His 80 receptions are the most by a player in their first 11 games all-time — a testament to his consistency and potential.

For fantasy managers, Nabers represents a high-upside play. With his volume of targets and the Ravens' defensive vulnerabilities, he's positioned for a potentially explosive Week 15 performance.
