Malik Nabers Ruled Out for Sunday Night vs. Bengals

The Giants standout WR did not progress through concussion protocol

Giants wideout Malik Nabers has been ruled out for Sunday night’s matchup with the Bengals. Nabers was unable to progress far enough in the league’s concussion protocol to see game action this week. He’ll have another chance in Week 7 to progress through the steps required before the Giants face inter-division rival, the Philadelphia Eagles.

 

The Nabers news is unfortunate for the Giants since they face a Bengals offense that has been effective scoring in recent weeks. Daniel Jones will look to feed Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson when he drops back to pass. The veteran Slayton was the lead target for the Giants when Nabers was out in Week 5. Slayton notched a 8-112-1 receiving line. Fantasy gamers will also be looking to replace Nabers’ production, a difficult task as Nabers leads all WRs with 22.9 fantasy points per game when on the field.
