I would read it as saying that more Nephilim were produced after the
flood. - which would be odd if the Nephilim were the cause of the
flood. (Thers no doubt, though, that this interpretation - that their
fathers were fallen angels, and that they produced the corruption that
led to the flood - goes back a long way, being found in the book of
Enoch, which at least in its original form is pre-Christian.)
