Fantasy Football: Malik Nabers Replacements After ACL Injury

Capping off a short and rather agonizing season for New York Giants wide receiver, Malik Nabers; he suffered what is likely a season ending ACL injury in Sunday’s win vs. the Chargers. His standing as a #1 fantasy football receiver will leave many managers scrambling for a replacement.

It’s unlikely Wan’Dale Robinson: Naber’s understudy will be available in most leagues, but give him a try. He’ll be the top target for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart for the time being.

Try Darius Slayton: Another in-house option that is only single digit rostered in many leagues. Dart has to throw the ball to somebody.

Bottom Line: You’ll likely have to look outside of the Giants roster for a solution (Devontyan Wicks in Green Bay, Calvin Austin III in Pittsburgh after their byes). And also still, you’re trying to replace a WR1. A slow start, a moment of brilliance, followed a devastating injury makes Nabers a 2025 fantasy football tragedy.
