Buffalo's Week 5 inactive list reshapes the depth chart. Dorian Williams and Dorian Strong sit out, Elijah Moore and Jordan Hancock join the bench, and Ed Oliver and TJ Sanders are sidelined on the defensive line, tangling Buffalo's fantasy floor at multiple spots. New England counters with Chaisson, Gregory, Wallace, Chism, and DeVito out, narrowing contingency plans and elevating backup options.

Malik Nabers tears his ACL, ending his season for the Giants and leaving a budding offense shorthanded for fantasy purposes. Jaxson Dart delivered in his first NFL start, a sign of upside for the Giants’ passing game as Nabers’ 109 catches and 1,204 yards last year loom as a lofty benchmark. The injury reshapes target distribution, pushes more responsibility to others, and tightens the window against a looming Eagles clash in October.

Giants pivot to Jaxson Dart, signaling a new era in New York as Week 4 arrives against the Chargers. Wilson is benched again after a rough start, with Daboll stressing a measured, development-first path for the rookie. Dart gets a full practice week to prepare, facing a top-five Chargers defense and a brutal remaining schedule that will test his readiness and the offense’s identity.

Wilson carved up the Cowboys with 450 passing yards and 3 TDs, yet the Giants still soured a prolific day with a boatload of penalties, losing in overtime after a red-zone turnover. New York piled up 506 total yards, but 14 penalties for 160 yards ruined critical drives and kept the score closer than the yardage suggests.

Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson both cleared 140 receiving yards in a historic Giants aerial show, while the defense battled penalties down the stretch. The OT fumble by Wilson and in-game miscues overshadowed the offensive fireworks, leaving fantasy managers weighing high-volume contributors against the volume of self-inflicted mistakes.

Malik Nabers faces a trio of offseason injuries as Week 1 looms, but early reports lean toward him suiting up for the Giants’ opener vs. Washington. The LSU product flashed elite target share and efficiency last season, and New York has upgraded its quarterback room to maximize his ceiling. Nabers’ health nuance—toe nagging but not career-threatening—keeps his fantasy outlook high upside with a clear path to big-volume weeks if he’s on the field.

Last year Nabers logged a monster target share and produced 1,204 yards on 109 catches, despite inconsistent QB play. With Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and surprise depth at quarterback, the Giants’ passing game could finally unlock Nabers’ true fantasy potential. Monitor practice status, as Nabers remains a player with immense upside but risk tied to his health trajectory and week-to-week availability.
