Biggest injuries and what's next

1. Malik Nabers, WR, New York Giants: He was a sophomore standout on Sunday, scoring a career-high 37.7 PPR fantasy points, including a 48-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown that at the time looked like a game-winner. Brandon Aubrey's 64-yard, game-tying field goal bought Nabers, his Giants and the opposing Dallas Cowboys a complete overtime period to pad their stats, but don't let that take anything away from how impressive Nabers looked in Week 2. His touchdown was a thing of beauty, caught despite having Kaiir Elam's hand on his face mask, and one that Next Gen Stats calculated with a 16% catch probability. Nabers is a true superstar, proving his worth as a clear fantasy first-rounder from the preseason, with the only question surrounding him how he might fare should rookie Jaxson Dart emerge as the team's starting quarterback in the coming weeks.

Credit Russell Wilson for his big game as well, with the only negative being the interception he committed late in overtime that led to a Cowboys walk-off field goal. Wilson scored 30.30 fantasy points and, at times, had similar touch for the deep ball that he had during his Seattle heyday. Wan'Dale Robinson also continues to impress as a heavily targeted, short-range receiver, though Wilson's willingness to target him deep fueled Robinson's career-best 28.2 points. — Cockcroft
