In an wild shootout with the Cowboys, Malik Nabers comes through with a 37.7 fantasy point performance.
The New York Giants lost a hearty shootout 40-37 to the Dallas Cowboys in overtime. The game wasn’t without fireworks for No.1 wide receiver Malik Nabers. Concerns for Russell Wilson getting Nabers the ball were premature.
Nabers is the Week 2 WR2 heading into Monday Night football. Nabers caught 9 passes on 13 targets with 167 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. Nabers has a legitimate shot at 200 targets should he stay healthy for the entire season. Teammate Wan’Dale Robinson caught 8 passes for 142 receiving yards and a touchdown.
It was an all around great day for fantasy stats as Wilson threw for 450 passing yards and 3 touchdown passes. Expect benching rumors to subside for Wilson while Nabers is a viable threat to be the WR1 overall in fantasy football while Robinson should be picked up in all leagues.

New York Giants name Russell Wilson their starting quarterback.
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll names Russell Wilson starting quarterback as training camp gets started. Daboll says that the other quarterbacks will get to compete but Wilson is at the top of the depth chart.
General manager Joe Schoen commented that Jaxson Dart has a long way to go but could “climb the ladder” as the season goes on. Jamesis Winston will have a role in this quarterback room as well but it’s clear that both are behind Wilson right now.
Wilson and Dart are both late round dart throws, Wilson represents a floor play while Dart has the upside and potential playoff week starts later in the season. Winston has been going mostly undrafted and that should remain the same.

Two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Russell Wilson, entering his age 37 season, has stated he wants to play football into his 40s.
Self-titled “Mr. Unlimited,” Russell Wilson, sure thinks he can play well into his 40s. In an interview with Sport’s Illustrated Connor Orr, Wilson does a introspective look at his career so far and comments on his future. Wilson turns 37 in November and stated he wants to play five-plus more years in the NFL.
This means he needs to play better than he has of late. Along with multiple injuries, Wilson’s play has steeply declined from his prime years in Seattle. His athleticism was his biggest attribute, along with a strong arm that led the Seattle Seahawks to two Super Bowl Championships. His last season in Seattle was the start of his decline in play as his athleticism had diminished to the point he was unable to consistently avoid rushers behind a bad offensive line. From there, Wilson has struggled to make the big plays he’s used to. He will have play much better in the pocket to last the five-plus additional years he wants to play.
Wilson was QB24 overall in 2024 due to injury but was QB17 in fantasy points per game. Wilson will flash a play here and there, but he will need to be much more consistent if he wants to hold off first-round pick Jaxson Dart. The Giants coaching staff has nothing but high praise for the rookie. Wilson will likely be on a short leash, he is at best a decent rental QB in all fantasy formats.

The veteran QB put it plain and simple when he said “I came here because of him”, also calling the young WR special.
Russell Wilson recently revealed that one of the key factors behind his decision to join the New York Giants this offseason was the chance to play alongside Malik Nabers. Wilson had previously admitted he watched film on Nabers and is convinced (correctly) that he’s a ‘Superstar”. The veteran QB believes that with Nabers as his primary target, the pair could develop a potent on‑field connection, and lets face it, Nabers could be the best weapon Wilson has ever thrown to.
From a fantasy football standpoint, this pairing boosts Nabers’s value even higher for the 2025 season. After finishing as WR6 in fantasy last year with record breaking reception totals (109 receptions, 1,204 yards, 7 TDs), Nabers now benefits from Wilson’s experienced arm and proven chemistry with top receivers. While Wilson projections are all over the place, his presence should lead to an uptick in Nabers’s targets and big‑play opportunities – at the very least he should be better than any of the passers Nabers had last season.

The New York Giants sign Russell Wilson to a 1-year deal worth up to $21 million.
The New York Giants are taking a patchwork approach to the quarterback position this offseason. After signing Jameis Winston to a 2-year $8 million deal, the Giants have now signed Russell Wilson to a 1-year deal worth up to $21 million.
Based on the contract, the 10-time Pro Bowler will have an edge on Jameis Winston for starter status. The question now becomes, do the Giants select a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft a month from now?
The move indicates that the Giants are unsure of whether or not their preferred quarterback will be available for their number 3 overall pick. The early favorites for the first 2 selections in the draft are quarterbacks Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders. While Jaxson Dart has gained 1st round draft buzz, the Giants may be inclined to avoid taking Dart by choosing a player at another position or trading back in the draft. In the meantime, the cork is going back in the bottles being popped from the Jameis Winston signing as it relates to Malik Nabers proverbial trip to the moon.

Pittsburgh’s George Pickens and DK Metcalf are seeing their collective draft stock fall in best ball drafts.
DK Metcalf and George Pickens have seen a dip in their average draft position since March 9th. George Pickens has fallen 5.6 spots from WR-33 to WR-36 in round 6 while DK Metcalf has fallen 4.9 spots from WR-24 to WR-28 at the 4-5 turn.
The drop can be traced to the sign and trade of DK Metcalf to the Steelers. While Metcalf and Pickens can offer diversifying skill sets from each other, the group think taking place is that Metcalf and Pickens styles are too much alike and will siphon from each other in a low passing volume offense.
With Russell Wilson primarily at the helm as the starting quarterback, the Steelers were No.27 in team pass plays per game. While the Steelers await clarity on who their starting quarterback will be this season, the move to acquire DK Metcalf has been met with a coolness in ADP for both Metcalf and Pickens. Drafters would be smart to scoop the discounted ADP prior to the Steelers quarterback issue being solved.
