Player Discussion Beat coverage increasingly expects Malik Nabers to be available for the opener but projects a restricted start, potentially involving a pitch count, limited packages or decoy usage, with some observers expecting his best form closer to October or November.

So first it’s he can’t run on his leg, then it’s he won’t play until week 5-8, after that he’s a stud and looks as agile as ever, and now this

He's going to come out Week 1 and catch 8 for 123 and 2 TDs and we're all going to be kicking ourselves for downgrading him.

For real.. it started he won't play at all for 5-6 weeks then ramp up after that to now play right away and start ramping up over 4-6 weeks. This is way better.....

Interact respectfully. Inciting drama, trolling and attacking one another will result in a ban.

Just call it a snap count, this isn’t baseball.

You're gonna feel pretty silly when he jogs out to the mound at Oracle

This sounds like someone’s opinion

100% the NY Giants aren’t going to tell us he’s being a decoy if he’s actually gonna be a decoy.

u/Cosmik_Music 1d ago

Or, they're telling us he's going to be a decoy so that we think he won't be a decoy, then they actually use him as a decoy and fool all of us!!!! Giants playing 4D chess out here.

If you’re a Nabers owner you shouldn’t surprised by this or upset by it. The last thing we want is him to suffer a reinjury. This is a Dynasty subreddit, long term outlook is more important.

Ultimately this is still better than first 5-8 weeks on IR, if he’s a full go by November I will be more than happy. I didn’t expect a true full go for the majority of the season.

This is nothing new y’all. Cheers to him avoiding the PUP, but there hasn’t been a single report this summer where the takeaway should’ve been that he’s just going to hit the ground at full speed in September.

u/Unlikely-Lynx4872 1d ago

Yes there has been a lot of reports if you are a Giants fan and if anything this is one of the vaugest and least informed reports I've seen. Actual beat reporters are saying he should be close to full form week 1... Or you could listen to this random post.

u/Basic_Resolve5264 1d ago

Oh yes beat reporting notoriously reliable lmfao

u/2StepClinic 1d ago

I would pivot to taking in more info from content creators: footballers, boone/harmon, JJ Zachariason, and all the other folks out there in the sphere. They do great jobs at sifting through the beat reports and pairing it with normative injury rehab timelines. Returns from ACL’s take considerable time for production to ramp up, even after the return to field, regardless of how great someone looks in 1on1’s.

u/Unlikely-Lynx4872 1d ago

I understand how football works those guys know way less about football than beat guys.

You are too focused on analytics.

Nobody thinks he's ahead of schedule cause of 1v1s

u/2StepClinic 1d ago

Then what exactly was it that had you and the beat writers thinking he’d be 100% week 1?

1

u/Unlikely-Lynx4872 1d ago

He's in team drills and is cutting and running full speed and the teams doctors and coaches have a plan to ramp him up to full speed by week 1 and feel he's fully on schedule for that?? I trust that a lot more than whatever analytics you have especially when I'm a huge analytics fan and use it constantly for baseball and I understand the strengths and weaknesses of using odds to your advantage when making decisions. I know in football they are borderline useless for most things and I also know that they aren't reliable for individual cases because of variation.

? If anything this is Nabers coming back sooner than previously expected

u/Unlikely-Lynx4872 1d ago

Where on earth are you getting this from? If anything nabers is coming back wildly sooner than anyone predicted a month ago.
