Malik Nabers centerpiece of limited New York offense

The Giants need a quarterback and are in pole position for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. They face a Falcons defense that gives up the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Malik Nabers is the only pass catcher fantasy mangers will be considering playing in the fantasy playoffs. He holds a 40.2-percent Target Share over the last three games. He’s hard to bench with that kind of volume, especially in PPR leagues. The drawback is the Giants are expected to start Drew Lock, but Lock targeted Nabers 13 and 10 times, respectively, in his two starts (Weeks 13 and 14). If the rookie receiver can somehow manage a touchdown in the Giants’ offense, he is a smash start.

 

Tyrone Tracy has gotten volume that matters – 52 looks in the last three – but he is also a touchdown-dependent play. The Falcons are the 10th-toughest matchup for opposing running backs and Tracy is dealing with an ankle injury that may hold him out of Sunday’s game. If the rookie RB can’t go, Devin Singletary would be in line for increased usage, but is not a week-winning play in the fantasy playoffs.
