Torn ACL confirmed for Giants WR Malik Nabers; out for season

Sep 29, 2025

Giants star WR Malik Nabers does, in fact, have a torn ACL, the MRI at Hospital for Special Surgery confirmed. He’s out for the season.

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Theo Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

This actually negatively impacts the entire offense, but the three pass-catchers listed above are the ones who will theoretically get the largest target share boosts. This is terrible news for Jaxson Dart, who exhibited some nice wheels in his first start but will more be missing a stud wide receiver. Robinson should be considered in the WR2/3 range moving forward.

Giants WR Malik Nabers was carted off the field with a knee injury during Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

Fantasy Impact:

Nabers’ knee appeared to buckle while going for a deep pass and leaping for the ball. He immediately grabbed his knee and did not get up. We’ll have updates on this injury but early speculation (emphasis on the word speculation) is it could be a torn ACL. We’ll wait for confirmation on the actual injury.

Update: Multiple reports are now saying it is indeed likely a torn ACL for Nabers.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel announced Saturday that TE Darren Waller will play and make his team debut Monday against the Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

This will be Warren’s first game since the end of the 2023 season with the Giants afree initially retiring before the 2024 season and then coming out of retirement and being traded to Miami. Waller will likely play a limited number of snaps as he recovers from a hip injury. None of Miami’s tight ends are worth playing this week.
