Trey Amos, Washington’s rookie corner, gets his first NFL test against Malik Nabers in Week 1, openly embracing a day-by-day grind, confident in his craft and communication. Nabers’ 2024 stat line (109 catches, 1,204 yards, 7 TDs) underscores the challenge ahead. Amos calls Nabers’ ball skills and releases elite and stresses a full-11 approach to slowing him, with the Commanders counting on a veteran outside pairing as they start his career.

Nabers, LSU alum with a standout rookie year, represents a high-floor target whose usage could shape Washington’s secondary game plan. The back-and-forth hinges on fundamentals, strategy, and the defense trusting its scheme—Amos’s readiness being a key fantasy angle for Week 1 projections and potential playoff-season implications.
