Why It Matters: An absolute beast in October, Nabers has gone quiet in two November outings, posting nearly identical 5-43-0 and 5-44-0 lines in Weeks 9 and 10. For comparison, Nabers averaged 127 yards per game in four October outings. It's too early to be concerned about Nabers, who began the year by doing next to nothing in September, but hopefully a little extra rest will allow a reset offensively that prioritizes getting him the ball more often in the weeks ahead. The inconsistency paints Nabers as more of a WR2, but he's shown several times already this season that he carries

WR1 upside into every matchup.
