NFL's No. 1 target: Giants novice Malik NabersGiants receiver Malik Nabers had 2 touchdown captures in Sunday's win over the Browns, and what's very most exceptional in his excellent beginning is the high edition of elapseds being thrown his way.If you're heading to invest a higher first-round badger a receiver, you would like to maximize that expenditure, and also the Giants go to document amounts.
