Tee Higgins vs Malik Nabers

“20 come from two buckets: Hyper-specified role players (Stefon Diggs, Rashee Rice) Guys with other top 24 or strong ancillary target competition (Both Rams WRs, Jameson Williams, CeeDee Lamb, Tee Higgins, Quentin Johnston with Ladd McConkey/Keenan Allen) You may notice there’s one guy on this list who fits in neither, and it’s Thundering Herd legend Christian Watson (shout out to NDSU).”

“Undervalued: Tee Higgins, Wide Receiver (WR16, Pick 37 OVR) Tee Higgins is a #1 receiver; he just happens to play with one of the biggest alphas in the NFL with Ja’Marr Chase. He’s a dominant playmaker who just happens to lose targets to the dominant playmaker in the league.”

“Higgins is right behind Burden in LTV, and if Burden were to match Higgins in scoring, well, I’d say that would be a successful season.”

“We haven't seen a full season out of Tee Higgins since 2022, but he's a TD machine when healthy. Higgins has 21 receiving TDs over the last two years; only Chase, Amon-Ra, and Davante Adams have more.”

“Higgins has been propped up by some massive touchdown totals the past two seasons. After 24 scores over his first four seasons, Higgins found pay dirt 21 times in 27 games between 2024 and 2025. With numbers like that, Higgins' expected fantasy points per game were at 11.3 last season, but the touchdowns pushed his actual average up to 14.1.”

“Over the past two seasons, Higgins has finished as the WR5 and WR13 on a per-game basis. That said, his value can only go down from here. He's already 27.5 years old, so he's about to hit that age range where dynasty managers start getting antsy and unloading receivers before any decline starts.”

“Tee Higgins is undoubtedly the best WR "2" in the NFL. He ranks as our 18th WR, higher than 15 other teams' highest drafted pass catcher! He lined up out wide on 87.7% of his routes, the seventh-highest rate among all wide receivers, cementing his status as a primary boundary receiver.”

“Despite averaging slightly fewer targets per game with Burrow (6.7 vs. 7.8), Higgins averaged more fantasy points per contest (15.2 vs. 13.4) and fantasy points per target (2.3 vs. 1.7) with the superstar quarterback.”

“Back at the Round 3-4 turn in 2026, Higgins offers an excellent combination of floor and ceiling — even in a range with several other intriguing wide receivers.”

“Tee Higgins (12th in total WR points last year) is going for an average auction value less than their projection.”

“Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins give the Bengals a chance in every game, but how good can the defense be?”

“Top cap hit: Tee Higgins, $26,514,706 (8.8 percent)”

“This should lock him into the second option behind Malik Nabers”

“Add in the fact that Malik Nabers is recovering from a significant knee injury, and you can see why Dart is a pass.”

“Malik Nabers (WR – NYG): Down 4 spots to No. 44 A slow, steady bleed that’s now the longest-running faller trend over the last few weeks. Nabers has slipped roughly 14 spots since we first flagged him in late June for missing mandatory minicamp during a lengthy ACL and meniscus rehab.”

“Malik Nabers, CeeDee Lamb, and Justin Jefferson all have similar LTV scores in the same range as Love’s.”

“This dip will only increase when Malik Nabers heads to the physically unable to perform (PUP) list at the start of training camp. Latest reports suggest it could be Week 5 or 6 before Nabers is back to full health.”

“Nabers could miss the start of the year and might not be 100% until 2027, making him a massive risk to draft as a top-12 wide receiver.”

“The Giants know what they have in a healthy Nabers, and they know what they have in his absence. If available, he'll be a main focus and favorite target for second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart, and if he's not, then he won't.”

“Malik Nabers and Tucker Kraft finish outside WR50 and TE20, respectively. Nabers is still way too expensive at WR 17, but he's coming off reconstructive knee surgery, and even Nabers admitted to ESPN's Adam Schefter that week one sounds "a little ambitious."”

“Is Malik Nabers worth your entire FAAB budget in a chopped league? Unfortunately, Malik Nabers suffered a season-ending injury just four days after this post.”

“Malik Nabers is targeting a Week 1 return after undergoing a cleanup procedure on the knee he previously had surgery on for a torn ACL and a full meniscus repair.”

“After an electric rookie season, Nabers' sophomore season was cut short with a severe ACL tear. Although Nabers should be close to fully back, he has had some setbacks and a cleanup procedure this offseason.”

“The Giants don't project to pass a lot this season under Harbaugh and new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. The Giants also added several pieces around Nabers, including tight end Isaiah Likely to one of the biggest contracts in history for a tight end, along with veteran receivers Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin.”
