Malik Nabers has been nominated for FedEx Air & Ground NFL Player of the Week following his 12-catch, 165-yard performance on Sunday against the Saints.
Nabers now has 168 career receptions and surpassed Puka Nacua (159) for the second-most catches by a player in his first 25 career games in NFL history, trailing only Odell Beckham Jr. (176).
Nabers is also the third player ever with at least 10 receptions in five of his first 25 career games, joining Brock Bowers and Lionel Taylor.
Nabers' 12 catches matched a career high, which he set in Week 4 of his rookie 2024 season against the Cowboys. Nabers went on to break the single-season franchise record with 109 receptions.
His 165 receiving yards, meanwhile, were six shy of his career-high 171 that he posted in the 2024 season finale.
Nabers has 29 catches for 398 yards and two touchdowns over his last three games. The former sixth overall draft pick eclipsed 100 yards in each of them.
Before Sunday, there had been only six instances of a Giant recording at least three consecutive games of 100+ receiving yards in the same season. Now there are seven.
- Odell Beckham Jr.: 6 (2015)
- Odell Beckham Jr.: 4 (2014)
- Malik Nabers: 3 (2026)
- Victor Cruz: 3 (2011)
- Mario Manningham: 3 (2010)
- Homer Jones: 3 (1968)
- Del Shofner: 3 (1963)
Throughout the 2026 season, the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Awards will celebrate standout performances from quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends while creating meaningful impact in the communities they represent. Each week, FedEx will make a $2,000 donation to Feeding America in honor of each Player of the Week award, for a total weekly donation of $4,000 benefiting local food banks in the winning players' cities.
Players will not be restricted to solely winning the air or the ground award. Continuing this season, fans can vote each week of the regular season for the two players from a group of six who displayed some of the best offensive performances. The FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Year Awards will be announced at the NFL Honors ceremony in Los Angeles during the week of Super Bowl LXI.
Voting for weekly nominees is open each week of the regular season from Monday morning to Wednesday afternoon at 3 p.m. ET at NFL.com/FedEx. Fans can also vote on the published polls on the NFL's Instagram and X handles or on the NFL Mobile App.
