Malik Nabers receptions pick for Giants vs. Commanders

We’ve got a crucial NFC East battle to dig into on Thursday Night Football. The Giants are looking to tighten their grip on the division, while the Commanders are trying to stay alive in the race. Both teams are hungry to come out on top after their Week 5 tie. This oft-changing Giants offense has been a headache to follow, but Malik Nabers has remained a consistent presence. How will their dynamic wide receiver perform in primetime?

Here’s the best Malik Nabers prop bet for Giants vs. Commanders on TNF in Week 10.

Best Malik Nabers prop bet for Giants vs. Commanders

Best Bet: Malik Nabers 7+ Receptions (+128)

Early in the season, things looked dire for Malik Nabers. Injury concerns as severe as his are tough to forget, and through the first three weeks, it was fair to wonder if we’d see the electric receiver we saw as a rookie. In Weeks 1 through 3, Nabers drew 19 total targets, catching 12 of them for 96 yards and no touchdowns. That included a brutal loss to the Rams, where Nabers had one catch for a single yard. The entire offense struggled to navigate the absence of Jaxson Dart, who suffered a season-ending injury in the team’s opening drive against LA.

In Week 4, Nabers turned it around significantly. He caught six passes for 112 yards and a touchdown against the Cardinals, starting a four-game streak of 6+ catches with 110+ receiving yards. It was a dominant stretch, including 11 catches on 20 targets for 121 yards and a score in Week 5 against the Commanders.

It’s incredible that he has navigated this quarterback situation so well. After Dart went down, New York turned to Jameis Winston, who knew how to get the ball to his top wideout. Then it was J.J. McCarthy, who impressed greatly during his starts and thrived with Nabers. McCarthy briefly left Sunday’s game against the Eagles, forcing Winston back into action and dampening Nabers’ production.

The floor that Nabers has set is important here. Even in a “down” week against the Eagles, Nabers had five catches for 43 yards and drew eight total targets. That was about the bottom-barrel game script for a receiver in a field-position battle, and he still stayed heavily involved.

The Giants will feel pressure to take control of this divisional race, and I expect McCarthy to come out firing. Nabers will be the primary downfield threat, working ahead of the chains, and will see a lot of work here.
