The New York Giants are ushering in a new era under head coach John Harbaugh. He was brought in this offseason to maximize the club's promising core, more specifically for fantasy football managers' sake, a cast of young playmakers.
What we can expect from the Giants' offense in 2026 is, well, the unexpected. There are definitely some intriguing pieces to work with. They have a wide range of outcomes and no shortage of questions, however.
Can Harbaugh and a remade coaching staff unlock second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart and a talented skill position group? How ready are two of the headliners, star wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Cam Skattebo, coming off major injuries? Can New York support two tight ends, or is there only room for one of Isaiah Likely or Theo Johnson?
Time will tell, though training camp and the preseason will inform us as to where things stand as the G-Men enter the upcoming campaign. There's going to be copious amounts of news to sort through. Consider this a living, breathing personal guide to their progress after the summer break.
Note: This story will be updated regularly throughout the New York Giants' training camp and preseason.
Notable New York Giants training camp battles with a fantasy impact
How the Giants' pass-catching pecking order behind Nabers, or until he's back, shakes out is an open competition. Wideouts Darnell Mooney, Darius Slayton, Calvin Austin and third-round rookie Malachi Fields will factor into the equation. There's also a slew of veterans competing to make the roster, namely Odell Beckham Jr., JuJu Smith-Schuster, Braxton Berrios, Jalin Hyatt and Isaiah Hodgins, among others.
Malik Nabers, Cam Skattebo and other Giants injury news
Nabers is working his way back from a complicated knee issue and reportedly prepared for the start of camp (h/t ESPN's Jordan Raanan). Meanwhile, Skattebo is recovering from a dislocated right ankle, fractured fibula and ruptured deltoid ligament and is still doing backflips. Their health, or lack thereof, has and will continue to be the talk of the town in East Rutherford.
Actionable Giants fantasy football takeaways
For the most part, it's been one worrisome update following another for Nabers. So hearing he's avoided the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, at least for now, is an incredible development. Expect his average draft position to skyrocket as long as the positive vibes continue.
Skattebo's availability doesn't seem to be in doubt, yet his outlook has a direct impact on backfield mate Tyrone Tracy Jr. The latter has quietly posted back-to-back 1,000-plus scrimmage-yard seasons to begin his NFL career and could be an opportunity away from a true breakout.
