Malik Nabers Kept Quiet vs. Chiefs as Targets Dry Up, Returns After Brief Injury Scare

A run-first plan plus sparse looks from Russell Wilson left the second-year receiver largely out of the action early.

Overview

  • Active and healthy, Nabers had zero first‑half receptions on one target, with a late end‑zone throw to him intercepted.
  • The Giants leaned on the ground game and spread limited completions elsewhere, including Cameron Skattebo, Darius Slayton and Tyron Tracy Jr.
  • ClutchPoints reported Nabers briefly left after an end‑zone fall clutching his shoulder but later returned to the game.
  • Deep into the fourth quarter, Russell Wilson had just 96 passing yards as Nabers was held to one catch for four yards.
  • Pre‑game Yahoo fantasy projections had forecast a strong outing for Nabers, underscoring the surprise of his minimal usage.
