New York Giants WR Malik Nabers had six receptions for 69 yards in a Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Nabers was targeted a game-high nine times.

Why It Matters: It was unclear leading up to kickoff whether Nabers would even suit up in Week 1 as he made his way back from a torn ACL suffered almost a year ago. He was in uniform and wasted no time in making an impact, logging more targets than the rest of the team's wide receivers combined. The numbers weren't eye popping, but it was an important step nonetheless. Nabers should only grow in confidence after getting some game action under his belt, and though he's still not at the WR1 level he was prior to the injury, the third-year pro can slide into your lineup as a WR3 for the time being.
