Ballin' with backups: Malik Nabers is most QB proof WR since Larry Fitzgerald, DeAndre Hopkins

Malik Nabers has four straight 100-yard receiving games with backup QBs entering Sunday's game vs. Philadelphia What a difference a few months makes. During the preseason, we were all wondering if Malik Nabers would even be healthy for the start of the season after he had April clean-up surgery following the torn ACL and meniscus injury he suffered in 2025. Now, he looks like a top-five wide receiver who is building off a superb rookie year and poised to carry a rejuvenated Giants team to a division title, with a QB carousel in tow. Week 4: 6 catches, 112 yards, touchdown (Jameis Winston at QB) Week 5: 11 catches, 121 yards, touchdown (Jameis Winston at QB) Week 6: 12 catches, 165 yards (Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy at QB) He's the first player with four straight 100-yard receiving games, all with non-Week 1 starting QBs (for the sake of brevity, I'll call them "backups"), since Cris Carter in 1999. It's tied for the longest streak by any player since the 1970 merger, with the likes of Carter, Rob Moore, Jerry Rice and Carl Pickens. That means if he hits the century mark on Sunday vs. Philadelphia, he will be the only player since the merger with five straight 100-yard games with backup quarterbacks.
