Malik Nabers is commanding a top-30 pick in global ADP, but it's a check many fantasy football managers are unlikely to write.
The New York Giants are hopeful Nabers can return to work soon after an April procedure to remove scar tissue. However, there's no guarantee he'll be 100% — or even available — by opening day. The uncertainty surrounding Nabers' health is a major concern for fantasy owners who were expecting a breakout season from the talented receiver.
The Giants' offense will also be adjusting to the new chemistry between Jaxson Dart and Nabers. Their reps last year had very little overlap, which means it will take some time for the two players to develop a rapport on the field.
The NFC East is shaping up to be a competitive division, and the Giants will need to be at the top of their game if they want to make a push for the playoffs. Nabers' injury woes are just one of the many challenges the team will face this season.
Jayden Daniels is currently the QB5 in Yahoo drafts, but his fantasy value is not without its concerns. Daniels was merely QB18 in points per game last season, and most of his indexed efficiency stats were below league average.
Despite his impressive rookie year, Daniels' performance last season was marred by injuries. His fantasy owners will be hoping that he can build on his promising debut and stay healthy for the duration of the season.
The Washington receiver room looks thin after veteran Terry McLaurin, which could make it difficult for Daniels to put up big numbers. Fantasy owners will need to keep a close eye on the situation and adjust their expectations accordingly.
The quarterback position is deep this season, and Daniels is not the only promising young quarterback vying for fantasy owners' attention.
The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the smartest organizations in football, and their offensive remodeling is expected to be a long-term success. However, it will take time for quarterbacks and receivers to build chemistry, which means Jalen Hurts is a risk for fantasy owners this season.
Hurts ran less last year, with a loss of 209 yards and six touchdowns from the previous season. His passing stats could rise with the shape of the offense changing, but his fantasy case has always been directly tied to the Konami Code.
Hurts is not the only quarterback in the NFC East with fantasy appeal, and fantasy owners may want to consider other options before committing to him.
The Eagles' offense will be an interesting one to watch this season, and fantasy owners will need to keep a close eye on how the new pieces fit together.
Dak Prescott is the epitome of a wait-on-QB strategy, and this season is no exception. He's merely the QB12 in Yahoo leagues to this point, a nod to his boring-veteran status and the depth of the position.
Prescott's upside picture is easy to paint — he's working with two elite receivers and the Dallas defense appears weak again. However, fantasy owners should be cautious not to get too caught up in the hype.
The Cowboys' offense has the potential to be one of the best in the league, but Prescott's fantasy value is not without its risks. Fantasy owners will need to keep a close eye on the situation and adjust their expectations accordingly.
The wait-and-see approach may be the best strategy for Prescott this season, especially given the depth of the quarterback position.
