OTA highlights for the New York Giants include strong performances from Calvin Austin III and Kayvon Thibodeaux. Jaxson Dart connected with Austin for a significant gain, while Thibodeaux showed pass-rushing prowess. Tyler Nubin and Brian Burns were seen communicating on defense, indicating players are actively engaged in learning the new scheme under coach John Harbaugh
The article identifies potential dynasty fantasy football ADP mistakes, highlighting Kyren Williams as overvalued due to decreasing production and the increased role of Blake Corum. It suggests tiering down from Williams to other running backs like Cam Skattebo, Travis Etienne, Javonte Williams, Bhayshul Tuten, Derrick Henry, or D'Andre Swift. Luther Burden is also mentioned as a polarizing prospect with flashing potential despite a concerning junior season
In building John Harbaugh’s first team as New York Giants head coach, the Giants seemed to focus largely on revamping a woeful defense and fixng a shaky kicking game. They did not, though, ignore supplementing the offense to help second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart . The Giants drafted guard Francis Mauigoa No. 10 overall and wide receiver Malachi Fields No 74 overall. The signed tight end Isaiah Likely , and added receivers Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin after losing Wan’Dale Robinson in free agency. So, how good is Dart’s supporting cast? Ralph Vacchiano of FOX Sports ranks the personnel around Dart 20th among the NFL’s 32 teams . He wrote: If Malik Nabers hadn’t torn his ACL last season, the Giants would be higher on this list. Maybe much higher. They have a deep receiving corps without Nabers, especially after signing Darnell Mooney and drafting Malachi Fields in the third round this offseason. And the addition of Isaiah Likely gives the Giants potentially the most dangerous TE they’ve had in years. They also have what one scout told me is a “sneaky good” running game behind a much-improved offensive line. If second-year back Cam Skattebo can fully recover from his devastating leg injury, he’ll join Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary in a potent rotation. All that may be enough for the offense to be good around second-year QB Jaxson Dart, “but Nabers changes everything,” one scout told me. “I didn’t think he played great as a rookie (in 2024). He had too many drops and his quarterback play was awful. But look at the numbers he put up (109-1,204-7). With better quarterback play and help around him, he could be a monster.” Of course, that’s when he’s fully recovered. Nabers recently had another procedure on his knee and his status for Week 1 is uncertain. Is Vacchiano’s ranking accurate? Probably, if you consider putting the Giants somewhere from 14-20 in the midpoint. The Giants are not barren of talent on offense. Nor are they overflowing with riches. The Giants were 16th in the NFL in points per game a season ago at 22.4, the exact midpoint of the league. There are several reasons they could be better than that. If Nabers and Cam Skattebo are healthy and productive for all or most of 2026, that would be a plus. Improvement from Dart in Year 2 would be a plus. If Isaiah Likely, Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin, and Malachi Fields are better than Daniel Bellinger , Wan’Dale Robinson and the backup receivers the Giants used in 2025, that is another plus. If Sisi Mauigoa justifies being the 10th overall pick and the offensive line remains healthy, that should bring improvement. Offense was not the Giants’ problem in 2025, and there is certainly potential for improvement in 2026
Giants RB Cam Skattebo, despite a promising start to his rookie season before an ankle injury, expressed dissatisfaction and vowed to achieve historic numbers in 2026, aiming for over 2,000 rushing yards and 300 carries. He expects to be ready for Week 1
The New York Giants' running back situation hinges significantly on the health and performance of Cam Skattebo. Despite a slow recovery from injury, Skattebo is expected to be ready for Week 1 and was the team's leading rusher before his injury last season. The team also benefits from the addition of fullback Patrick Ricard, the drafting of Sisi Mauigoa, and the offensive scheme design of Greg Roman, all aimed at improving their power run game and maximizing the potential of Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy, and Devin Singletary
Cam Skattebo’s strong rookie season for the New York Giants came to an early end, as the running back suffered a brutal right leg injury in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles . Despite playing less than half the season, Skattebo ran for for 410 yards and five touchdowns on 101 rushing attempts. Now he has his sights set higher for his second season. Much higher. “I do not consider that successful for me,” Skattebo said at a team town hall event on Monday night . “I had 400 yards on 100 carries. When I play 17-plus games this year, it’s going to be 300 carries for over 2,000 yards.” While that lofty goal drew hearty applause from the Giants fans in attendance at the Beacon Theatre, it would be one of the greatest seasons from a running back in NFL history. Only nine running backs have eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark, most recently former Giant Saquon Barkley , who accomplished the feat with the Eagles during the 2024 season. Eric Dickerson remains the single-season rushing record, when he ran for 2,105 yards for the Los Angeles Rams during the 1984 campaign. No Giants running back has ever broken the 2,000-yard mark. Tiki Barber remains the Giants’ single-season rushing leader , with 1,860 yards set back in 2005. But first, Skattebo will need to get back to the field. The second-year running back indicated on Monday night that he was well on track to do just that. “Obviously there’s ups and downs in the injury process and coming back and rehabbing, but the mental battle has been the hardest part: making sure that I trust it fully,” Skattebo said. “I’m a little ways out. Not too far, but I’ll be ready to go. Week 1, I’ll be ready to go.” Once he’s back, he’ll have a bigger goal in mind it seems
The NY Giants are beginning OTAs under new head coach John Harbaugh, with several rookies showing promise. RB Cam Skattebo is confident he'll be ready for Week 1. The team also has a joint practice scheduled with the Miami Dolphins and will celebrate the 40th anniversary of their 1986 Super Bowl team
Tyrone Tracy Jr. is a potential dynasty buy due to his role as the Giants' No. 2 running back and his ability to maintain value in fantasy football leagues
Cam Skattebo insists he will be “ ready to go ” Week 1 as he continues his rehab from a gruesome leg injury. That is good news for the Giants as the running back had 125 carries for 617 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie. Skattebo has much bigger goals for his second season. “I do not consider that successful for me,” Skattebo said of his rookie season, via Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press. “I had 400 yards on 100 carries. When I play 17-plus games this year, it’s going to be 300 carries for over 2,000 yards .” Nine running backs have had a 2,000-yard season, the most recent coming by Saquon Barkley in 2024. Eric Dickerson owns the NFL record with his 2,105 rushing yards in 1984. Tiki Barber holds the Giants team record with 1,860 rushing yards in 2005

Skattebo (ankle) said at the Giants Town Hall on Monday night that he is expecting to be ready to play Week 1 of the upcoming campaign, Kevin Patra of the team's official site reports. Skattebo's comments Monday echo what Giants GM Joe Schoen relayed in late March, when he shared that the running back was declaring himself "ready to go." Skattebo did add Monday that he's not yet ready to take the field for OTAs, but that doesn't appear to be causing him any concern about his readiness for Week 1. New York hasn't added to its RB room during the offseason outside of signing undrafted rookie Damon Bankston, but they did sign All-Pro fullback Patrick Ricard, so Skattebo could be set up for a big sophomore campaign

Heading into a one-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons , the former fifth overall pick will have a leg up on Michael Penix Jr. in training camp, as Penix continues to recover from the partially torn ACL he suffered a year ago. Tua spent three consecutive years from 2022–2024 leading the league in either passer rating, passing yards, or completion percentage, and landing in an offense featuring Bijan Robinson , Drake London , and Kyle Pitts could give the Falcons quarterback production similar to his best days under Mike McDaniel. Tagovailoa will also escape the cold conditions of the AFC East, no longer having to play in Buffalo or Foxborough, instead spending half his time indoors at home in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, along with favorable environments in New Orleans and Tampa Bay. If anything, Tagovailoa should feel like he's back in his SEC college days.

The New York Giants enter the next phase of their off-season program with the start of OTAs this week. The team celebrated the milestone in their calendar by holding a town hall at the Beacon Theater in NYC to preview the 2026 season. Some of the biggest names around the Giants franchise were in attendance, including general manager Joe Schoen, head coach John Harbaugh, quarterback Jaxson Dart, running back Cam Skattebo, edge defenders Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux , and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds . The Giants also had their rookies on the stage as well, with Arvell Reese, guard Francis Mauigoa, and cornerback Colton Hood all there. Harbaugh was introduced to thunderous applause and praised Giants fans as “unbelievable” and shared a story from his decision to join the Giants earlier this year. Harbaugh added that the team needs to win games for their fans. The season starts as a clean slate for everyone, and it doesn’t matter what any of the Giants’ division rivals did a year ago. “All I care about,” Harbaugh said, “is tomorrow’s practice.” That practice is the start of the Giants’ OTAs on Tuesday. “The guys have been working hard,” he said. “They’re ready to start OTAs tomorrow.” Harbaugh believes his team will surprise people this year and wants the team to dictate terms for their opponents on offense in addition to defense. There haven’t been many clues yet as to what the Giants’ offense will look like, but Harbaugh said that they want to be unpredictable on first and second down. “I don’t want to be at the mercy of the (opposing) defense,” he said. “We’ve got to make them decide if it’s run or pass.” He added that he believes the Giants could have the best tight end room in the NFL between Isaiah Likely , Theo Johnson , Chris Manhertz , Thomas Fidone II , and Tanner Conner . According to edge defender Kayvon Thibodeaux, it will all start with the head coach as Harbaugh is always testing the players’ limits. He believes that the pressure to meet and exceed their limits will pay dividends for the team. “This is a perfect year for a miracle story,” Thibodeaux said. Jaxson Dart added that the coach holds himself to the same standards. “He’s working out in the weight room at 4:30 in the morning before we even get there.” Mauigoa later spoke about a different kind of pressure — the pressure of keeping Dart upright . “That’s the type of pressure you want,” he said. “I’d rather it be on me than anybody else.” Second-year running back Cam Skattebo, who took the stage in typical fashion , is probably just as happy to see Mauigoa in Giants blue as Dart is. Skattebo told fans that he’ll be ready to go for Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys . He also added, “Wait until you see me for 17 games.” Skattebo is predicting a big year for himself and the Giants. Not only is he predicting a playoff berth and a “17-plus” game schedule, but he’s set lofty expectations. “it’s going to be 300 carries for over 2,000 yards,” he said. Turning to the defensive side of the ball, Harbaugh seemed almost giddy at how the defense has been transformed from a year ago. He noted that he believes the Giants’ cornerbacks are wildly underrated and the “two safeties” ( Jevon Holland and Tyler Nubin ) have Pro Bowl potential. Likewise, he believes the Giants have four “high level” linebackers in Micah McFadden , Arvell Reese, Tremaine Edmunds, and Jack Kelly, to go with their three starting outside linebackers in Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Abdul Carter . The tenor of the evening, and the feeling among the Giants as their offseason ramps up was probably best summed up by Brian Burns . “First game, prime time. Man y’all be tuned, man, it’s gonna be a scary sight.”
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo said on Monday that he will be “ready to go” for Week 1 after suffering a broken right fibula and dislocated right ankle last season. Appearing at a team town hall event in New York City, the 24-year-old updated his status with fans in attendance at the Beacon Theatre. “Obviously there’s ups and downs in the injury process and coming back and rehabbing, but the mental battle has been the hardest part: making sure that I trust it fully,” Skattebo said . “I’m a little ways out. Not too far, but I’ll be ready to go. Week 1, I’ll be ready to go.” The Giants kick off the 2026 season with a Sunday night matchup against the Dallas Cowboys . Play 2026 Soccer Pick 'Em with FOX One and make your picks for the world's biggest soccer tournament Skattebo, a fourth-round draft pick in 2025 out of Arizona State, quickly became a favorite among Giants fans for his aggressive running style and personality on and off the field . His rookie season ended prematurely, however, after needing season-ending surgery following the Week 8 game against the Philadelphia Eagles . Despite being an impactful player during his short time on the field last season, Skattebo, who rushed for 410 yards and five touchdowns, is eyeing big production when he returns to the Giants’ backfield. “I do not consider that successful for me,” Skattebo said. “I had 400 yards on 100 carries. When I play 17-plus games this year, it’s going to be 300 carries for over 2,000 yards.”
The Giants held a town hall event for fans in New York City on Monday night and it included an update on running back Cam Skattebo 's condition. Skattebo's play was one of the few highlights of the 2025 season, but the good feelings he generated during his rookie year were put on hold when he suffered severe leg and ankle injuries in October. Skattebo said on Monday that he is still working his way back to full strength and that he expects to be there in time to face the Cowboys on the first Sunday night of the regular season. “Obviously there’s ups and downs in the injury process and coming back and rehabbing, but the mental battle has been the hardest part: making sure that I trust it fully,” Skattebo said, via Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press. “I’m a little ways out. Not too far, but I’ll be ready to go. Week 1, I’ll be ready to go.” The Giants are also waiting on wide receiver Malik Nabers to return from a torn ACL and getting both players back to their top form would be an excellent way to set John Harbaugh up for success in his first year on the sideline in New Jersey
Giants running back Cam Skattebo, recovering from severe leg and ankle injuries suffered in October, expects to be ready for Week 1 against the Cowboys. He is focusing on the mental aspect of his recovery but is confident in his return
Cam Skattebo (ankle) stated at the Giants Town Hall that he anticipates being ready for Week 1 of the upcoming season
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (ankle) stated he'll be ready for Week 1 after suffering a broken fibula and dislocated ankle in 2025. He was the Giants' RB1 before his injury, accumulating 410 yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries, along with 24 receptions for 207 yards and two touchdowns. Despite potential involvement from Tyrone Tracy Jr., the 24-year-old Skattebo is considered a rising fantasy commodity in both dynasty and redraft leagues for the upcoming 2026 season
New Giants coach John Harbaugh has energized fans by vowing to "kick the Cowboys' ass" and expressing a strong desire to improve the team's losing record against NFC East rivals. Kayvon Thibodeaux also voiced his hatred for the Cowboys, aiming for a successful season. Rookie Eric Skattebo expressed confidence in playing a full season after injury
Perhaps it isn’t something to be alarmed about yet, but New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo indicated during Monday’s Town Hall event at the Bergen Theatre that he isn’t as far along in his return from last season’s devastating leg injury as might have been hoped. “I’m a little ways off, not too far, but I’ll be ready to go,” Skattebo said . “Week 1, I’ll be ready to go.” Skattebo sustained a dislocated ankle and other injuries in Week 8 last season against the Philadelphia Eagles . At John Harbaugh’s introductory press conference, GM Joe Schoen had expressed a belief that Skattebo would be on the field this spring. “He’ll be fine,” Schoen said. “He’ll actually be prepared for the offseason program on April 6th. He should be good.” Perhaps he will be, but that news indicates that we might not see Skattebo on the field this week when the Giants begin OTAs, the on-field portion of the offseason program
