RecapMalik Nabers caught 5-of-8 targets for 43 yards in the Giants’ Week 9 win over the Eagles.
Entering the game with four straight 100-yard performances, Nabers had a day of what ifs. Banged up early but no worse for the wear, Nabers played snaps with two different QBs as J.J. McCarthy missed part of the third quarter with a hip issue. McCarthy returned only for Nabers to drop a should-have-been 20-yard touchdown in the end zone. Frustrating, but 9.43 PPR points on a “down” day is not the worst outcome. Nabers and McCarthy have only four days to heal up for Thursday’s short-week date with the Commanders, but Nabers’ status is not in doubt, while he will remain a high-end WR1 even if Jameis Winston returns under center for the G-Men.
