John Harbaugh has stated Malik Nabers is expected to work his way into training camp practices “one way or another,” though the coach offered no guarantees on his actual recovery timeline. This lack of certainty is highly concerning for a superstar who commanded an elite 31.7-percent target share (No. 3) and averaged 17.6 fantasy points per game (No. 7) during his healthy 2024 rookie campaign.

With Nabers undergoing a second surgical cleanup on his right knee to remove stiffness-inducing scar tissue, drafting him in the early rounds is a major risk, as a stint on the PUP list will trigger a massive slide from his current mid-second-round ADP.
