Field Level Media

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was carted off the field in the second quarter of Sunday's home game against the Los Angeles Chargers with an apparent right knee injury.

Nabers, 22, was injured as he jumped for a downfield pass from rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart with 6:12 remaining in the first half. As the pass fell incomplete, Nabers immediately grabbed for his right knee as he went to the ground.

Nabers had been limited in practice earlier in the week because of a shoulder injury.

Nabers, 22, entered Week 4 leading New York in receptions (16), receiving yards (251) and receiving touchdowns (two). Before departing Sunday, he had two receptions for 20 yards.

Last season, Nabers set an NFL rookie record for receivers with 109 catches, which also was a franchise mark for the Giants.

Nabers totaled 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games (13 starts) last season en route to being named to the Pro Bowl.

The Giants selected Nabers with the sixth overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft out of LSU.

Player Notes

Malik Nabers

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is believed to have suffered a torn ACL during his team's Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Nabers was carted off during the first half after planting awkwardly on his knee. The superstar wideout recorded two catches for 20 yards on three targets before getting injured. Losing Nabers is a devastating blow for the Giants' offense. Without him, wide receivers Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson should both be expected to see an uptick in targets.

Darnell Mooney

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is questionable to return against the Washington Commanders in Week 4. He exited during the second half and caught just one pass for 15 yards before his departure. The 27-year-old has seen mixed results this season, as his usage was underwhelming in Week 2 and the start of Week 4. However, he was heavily involved last week, converting 11 targets into four catches. What seemed like a potential ascension into a 1B role for Mooney has been halted as he now battles a hamstring injury. In the meantime, Kyle Pitts and Ray-Ray McCloud will operate as some of the supplementary pass catchers behind Drake London.

Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (hip) is officially active for the Week 4 game.

Fantasy Spin: Higbee is off to a quiet start to the season and probably will not see many targets this week. He can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Jauan Jennings

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) is officially active for his team's Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Jennings missed Week 3 and was only able to log one limited practice this week. The 28-year-old has recorded seven catches for 105 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets across two games so far in 2025. Jennings may be working on a limited snap count in Week 4, so fantasy managers may be wise to temper their expectations. He profiles as a WR3/flex option against Jacksonville in Week 4.

Dyami Brown

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown (shoulder) is inactive for his team's Week 4 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers due to a shoulder injury. Brown has recorded 10 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown through his first three games of 2025. In his absence, Jaguars wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington should see an uptick in targets. Additionally, rookie wideout/cornerback Travis Hunter could see a larger workload on the offensive side of the ball to make up for Brown being sidelined. Both Washington and Hunter profile as low-end, deep-league flex options in Week 4.

Davante Adams

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is officially active for his team's Week 4 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Adams missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday of this week and was listed on the injury report as questionable heading into Sunday. The veteran wideout has recorded 13 catches for 213 yards and two touchdowns so far in 2025. Now that he's officially good to go, Adams is a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 4 against the Colts.

Davante Adams

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is officially active for the Week 4 game.

Fantasy Spin: Adams missed some practice this week but should be able to see his normal workload against the Indianapolis Colts. He can be at least a No. 2 receiver in all fantasy leagues.

Malik Nabers

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) has been carted off the field from his team's Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers due to a knee injury, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Nabers had recorded two catches for 20 yards on three targets before getting injured. Losing Nabers would be a devastating blow for the Giants' offense. While the severity of his injury is not yet known, it's not a good sign that he was unable to leave the field under his own power. If Nabers is sidelined, Giants wide receivers Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson would likely see an increase in targets.

Cedric Tillman

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions due to a hamstring injury. Tillman had one catch for six yards on two targets before getting injured. The 25-year-old is a key piece of the Cleveland passing game. In his absence, Browns wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond will likely see an uptick in both playing time and target share.

David Moore

Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore (elbow) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 4 matchup against the New England Patriots, according to Joseph Person of The Athletic. Moore had not been targeted before getting injured, but he had recorded a 12-yard carry. With Moore sidelined, Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan should see an even larger role in the passing game. Wideouts Hunter Renfrow and Brycen Tremayne should also see an increased target share.

Aaron Rodgers

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 18 of 22 pass attempts for 200 yards and a touchdown in a Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Rodgers has now thrown for 786 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions through his first four games in Pittsburgh. The 41-year-old didn't light up the stat sheet against Minnesota, but he was able to be fairly efficient without turning the football over. Rodgers profiles as a low-end fantasy QB2 at best and will be on his bye week in Week 5.

Zavier Scott Sep 28 1:00pm CT
Zavier Scott

Minnesota Vikings running back Zavier Scott had the best game of his young career Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching six passes for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 24-21 defeat. The former undrafted free agent rushed only twice for one yard, but Minnesota trailed by 18 at one point and called only 18 designed running plays in the game. With running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) out until at least Week 7, Scott could have some streaming value behind starter Jordan Mason, especially in PPR leagues. As a converted wide receiver, his pass-catching ability should keep him on the radar as the Vikings prepare to take on Cleveland in Week 5.

Jordan Addison Sep 28 12:50pm CT
Jordan Addison

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison put together a productive performance in his return to the field on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, hauling in four passes for 114 yards in the Vikings' 24-21 defeat. Playing in his first game after a three-week suspension, the third-year receiver nearly had an even bigger day, but was tripped up at the one-yard line following an 81-yard catch in the fourth quarter. Addison saw an encouraging eight targets in the game and produced despite Minnesota's offensive struggles behind backup quarterback Carson Wentz. The Vikings' biggest issue going forward will be injuries on the offensive line, which will have its hands full with the Cleveland Browns in Week 5.

David Moore

The Carolina Panthers deemed wide receiver David Moore (elbow) questionable to return to Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. The veteran wide receiver had a 12-yard rush at the time of his exit from the game, but no targets. On a struggling Panthers offense, Moore doesn't carry much value outside of very deep formats, and even in those, he's not generally a recommended option for a starting lineup.

Carolina Panthers WR David Moore (elbow) left the Week 4 game against the New England Patriots in the first quarter due to an elbow injury. He is listed as questionable to return.

Carson Wentz Sep 28 12:30pm CT
Carson Wentz

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz was mostly ineffective on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but ended with strong fantasy numbers thanks to 46 passing attempts, 30 completions, 350 passing yards and two touchdowns in a 24-21 loss. The Vikings' backup struggled overall to operate the offense, holding the ball to the tune of six sacks, throwing two picks, and nearly being intercepted twice on the Vikings' final drive, on which he committed a back-breaking intentional grounding penalty. Wentz is likely to earn at least one more start with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) injured, but he'll have a tough matchup next week with the Vikings' beat-up line facing Cleveland's excellent defensive front.

D.K. Metcalf Sep 28 12:20pm CT
D.K. Metcalf

An 80-yard touchdown catch set up Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf for a nice fantasy performance Sunday against Minnesota, as he concluded his day with five catches for 126 yards and the aforementioned touchdown in a 24-21 win. The first-year Steeler drew only five targets, one fewer than running back Kenneth Gainwell, but did maximum damage with them, including the long touchdown in which he outran the Minnesota secondary. As Pittsburgh's top receiver, Metcalf should continue to be a solid fantasy WR2 after the Steelers' Week 5 bye.
