Nabers set the workforce’s rookie receptions document Sunday, passing two fairly good gamers in Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley together with his 92nd catch of the season. “Kudos to me but … we didn’t win,” Nabers stated afterward.

So he’s nearly definitely going to high 100 catches and 1,000 yards, albeit whereas main the league in targets (155) and averaging simply 10 yards per catch.

The Giants are the NFL’s lone two-win workforce and they don’t seem like a workforce that’s able to successful once more this season. The Giants aren’t tanking, they’re simply horrible. It’ll probably cause them to the primary total draft decide and an necessary selection at quarterback.

Diante Lee, The Ringer:
On one hand, I need to empathize with backup quarterback Drew Lock after his turnovers this week. Once I play on All-Madden issue, I’m liable to make a few boneheaded throws and have some typically terrible pocket administration—even in opposition to the worst defenses within the recreation. New York’s offense has gotten so dry and uninspiring that even the throws concentrating on Malik Nabers don’t create a lot response from followers or worry in defenses anymore. With the Giants presently holding on to the primary decide within the upcoming draft, although, the group might be simply high quality with that.

This has been a season to overlook for New York. The Giants misplaced their tenth consecutive recreation on Sunday, shedding to the Falcons 34-7.
Thankfully for the Giants, the Raiders defeated the Jaguars in Week 16, so New York has an important shot of touchdown the No. 1 total decide within the 2025 NFL Draft. PFN’s mannequin presently provides New York 41.3% odds of touchdown the highest choice.
It is going to be fascinating to see if the Giants half methods with head coach Brian Daboll. Whereas he’s had some robust outings, loads of franchises would love to rent him if New York fires him.
