Best Malik Nabers Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Malik Nabers O 65.5 Receiving Yards (-113)
After being a game-time decision for Week 1, as he works his way back from a torn ACL he suffered last September, Nabers suited up for last Sunday’s season opener vs. the Cowboys and looked great, hauling in 6-of-9 targets for 69 yards.
Given the late decision about his availability, many thought Nabers would be very limited, but that wasn’t the case.
The wideout ran a route on 71% of his team’s dropbacks and he commanded a target on an elite 38% of those routes. Nabers saw an 11.0 aDOT and he averaged a strong 2.9 YPPR. Nabers’ route rate should grow each week and likely be around 80% for tonight’s matchup vs. the Rams, putting him a great position to top 65.5 yards.
Nabers has finished with 71, 167, 13, and 69 yards in the four games he hasn’t exited with an injury the last two seasons. This is also a favorable matchup for Nabers. Los Angeles is giving up the fifth-most yards to outside receivers since the start of last season (1,992) and 77.3% of Nabers’ routes have come out wide the last two seasons.
Additionally, the Giants are a 6.5-point underdog, so their offense should be forced into a pass heavy game plan. This is a great situation for Nabers and 65.5 yards is too low of a bar for him in this spot.
