New York Giants Fantasy Football Outlook & Stats 2026
Written before Week 1Updated September 2026
John Harbaugh inherits a run-first offence that finished 5th in rushing and ran in twenty-two touchdowns, one more than it threw. Jaxson Dart is the reason to care: fifteen passing scores and nine on the ground in fourteen starts, with 487 rushing yards at 5.7 a carry. Malik Nabers played four games, and Cam Skattebo's rookie season ended in Week 8 with the backfield now his alone.

Core fantasy pieces
Jaxson Dart
QBTop-eight QB1IRIR · Knee - Meniscus
Nine rushing touchdowns in fourteen starts — the floor almost no quarterback has.
- 2,272 pass yds
- 15 TD, 5 INT
- 487 rush yds, 9 TD
Twenty-four total touchdowns in fourteen games, with more than a third of them coming on the ground, is the shape that wins fantasy weeks regardless of how the passing goes. The passing volume is modest — 162 yards a start on the 21st-ranked passing offence — and it barely matters when he runs for 35 a game at 5.7 a carry. Fifteen-to-five is also a genuinely careful ratio for a young quarterback.
Malik Nabers
WRWR2 on four games of evidence
Thirty-five targets in four appearances, and then nothing.
- 18 rec, 271 yds
- 35 targets
- 4 games
Nearly nine targets a game at 15.1 a catch is a genuine WR1 usage rate, and there are four games of it. Everything about the profile says he is the first read whenever he plays and nothing about it has been sustained across a season. The receiving corps around him — Mooney, Austin and two tight ends — is a collection of complementary pieces, so the target share is his to take. Price the games missed, not the talent.
Cam Skattebo
RBRB2 with RB1 upside
Seven touchdowns in eight games, and nobody was added to take the carries back.
- 410 rush yds
- 5 rush TD
- 24 rec, 207 yds
One hundred and one carries producing five rushing scores, plus 24 catches on 32 targets, is a complete role compressed into half a season — nine goal-line carries and 27 red-zone touches is the trust that decides fantasy weeks. New York signed no back this offseason, so the lead job on an offence that ran in twenty-two touchdowns is his to hold. The Week 8 ankle and fibula fracture is the risk, and 4.1 a carry says he is a grinder rather than a creator; the volume is what makes that fine.
Isaiah Likely
TEBack-end TE1
Three years and $40 million to stop being somebody's second tight end.
- 27 rec, 307 yds
- 36 targets
- 12 games
Twenty-seven catches on 36 targets is the whole résumé problem — four years behind Mark Andrews and never once sixty targets in a season. What the small samples say is that the role, not the player, was the cap: a 75% catch rate, 1.29 yards a route and six touchdowns on 58 targets the year before. The Giants paid centerpiece money into a room where the only other established pass-catcher is rehabbing an ACL, and a run-leaning scheme is the one thing holding the volume down.
Secondary options
Theo Johnson
TETE2 in a split room
Seventy-four targets and five touchdowns, and then the Giants went out and paid for a tight end.
- 45 rec, 528 yds
- 74 targets
- 5 TD
Forty-five catches for 528 yards is solid tight-end production and five scores led all New York pass-catchers, which says as much about the receiving corps as about him; fourteen red-zone targets is the part worth keeping. Isaiah Likely's contract is the complication and it is a real one — nobody pays $40 million for a rotational piece. Johnson is the cheaper half of a room that now has two mouths and a 21st-ranked passing game to feed them from.
Darnell Mooney
WRBench flier
Seventy-two targets in Atlanta turned into 443 yards.
- 32 rec, 443 yds
- 72 targets
- 1 TD
A 44% catch rate on 72 targets is poor by any measure, and 13.8 yards a reception says the role was downfield rather than dysfunctional. He arrives into a room where Nabers takes the coverage and nobody else has claimed the second job. On a team that threw twenty-one touchdowns all season, his ceiling is a WR4 who occasionally hits — draft him last or not at all.
Bottom lineJaxson Dart's legs make him a genuine QB1 on an offence that throws for 217 yards a game, and that is the single most useful fact on this page. Cam Skattebo has an uncontested backfield on a team that ran in twenty-two touchdowns, and Malik Nabers is a four-game sample you are being asked to pay a full season for.
Usage & Opportunity Report
Updated through Week 4 · refreshed every Tuesday
Fantasy production follows opportunity, not the other way around — so this report tracks who's on the field and who the ball is going to, before the box score catches up. The essentials: target share (share of team pass attempts), snap share, and red-zone touches. The premium layer, in each player's expandable profile: first-read share (how often the play is designed for him), air-yards share (30%+ is the alpha-receiver threshold), and expected fantasy points (xFP) vs. fantasy points over expected (FPOE) — xFP is stable, repeatable volume; FPOE is efficiency that regresses. Route share (the % of dropbacks a player runs a route on — the stat that matters most for tight ends), targets per route run (TPRR) and yards per route run (YPRR — the best receiver efficiency stat there is) join the profiles when the league's route data is published. Since 2017, receivers at a 20%+ target share average 15.3 fantasy points per game; the 10–20% group averages 9.8. That cliff is why this table exists.
- Pass rate over expected−9.0%30thRuns more than game situations call for — a cap on the pass-catchers' volume and a floor under Skattebo
- Red-zone pass rate43%28thRun-first inside the 20 — Skattebo's 5 green-zone carries eat the receivers' TDs

The Target Tree
All 83 Giants pass attempts through Week 4
- Isaiah Likely 27.7%
- Malik Nabers 22.9%
- Malachi Fields 14.5%
- Cam Skattebo 9.6%
- Darnell Mooney 9.6%
- Singletary/Johnson/Ricard 13.3%
- Everyone else 1.2%
- No target (throwaways, spikes, batted) 1.2%
The Backfield Split
Who owns which situations — the RB stat that actually predicts the box score.
- Cam Skattebo 65.3%
- Devin Singletary 18.8%
- Najee Harris 12.9%
- Other backs 3.0%
Share of the backs' carries + targets in each situation. Snap-by-snap splits need the league's participation data, which is published after the season.
- 22.0Skattebo weighted opps/game — RB16 in the NFL
- 13Skattebo high-value touches (in-10 carries + targets)
- 9.5Singletary weighted opps/game
- +1.4Skattebo wOpp/g vs. last season — the same role as last season
Why Skattebo's floor holds in PPR: He keeps 50% of the backs' third-down work as well as the early downs, so his catches don't depend on game script — a 40-catch pace. Trailing by 7+, he still gets 69% of the backs' work — no one takes the hurry-up snaps from him.
The Singletary math if Skattebo misses time: Singletary backs up the red-zone role (the valuable ones). A Skattebo absence projects Singletary to ~50% of weighted opportunities — about 19.4 a game, an RB2 by volume — and why he's a STASH, not a cut.

Designed runs only; "Middle" includes runs behind either guard.
The left side is the run game's engine: 7.8 yards per carry off left end and 4.1 behind left tackle — 29% of all designed runs go that way. Interior volume (47 attempts) does the clock work at 3.4; the left edge does the damage. When the line's left side sits out practice, that's a usage note, not just an injury note.

The short left is the efficiency engine (6.5 YPA). Winston keeps 90% of his throws under 20 air yards, with the deep left his most explosive zone (10 YPA on 3 attempts). Fields's fantasy problem, mapped: a 17.8-yard aDOT puts him in the 10% deep slice of this chart while the short left feasts. Gold = highest-YPA high-volume zone.

A shared backfield. 64% of the weighted opportunities means another back takes a real cut every week, so his floor rises and falls with game script. He's −1.6 a game against expected: the volume is there and the box score hasn't caught up — a buy signal, not a warning. Bars show percentile vs. all NFL RBs. | ||||||
| Isaiah LikelyTE1TE2 in target share, NFL | 0.54elite for TE | 27.7%−4.9 vs W1 | 67%+35 vs W1 | 44 · 0 · 0 | Set & forget | |
The ceiling problem in two numbers: a 18.4% air-yards share and a 5.8 aDOT. His targets travel nowhere, so even a healthy target share converts to modest yardage — and the share itself is the one drifting down. Production is running +0.1 over expected, so this is volume, not a hot streak. Bars show percentile vs. all NFL TEs. | ||||||

Volume you can set in the lineup. A 22.9% target share and 10.5 expected points a game, with a 25% first-read share; a 25.6% air-yards share decides how much of that turns into yards. He's −3.3 a game against expected: the volume is there and the box score hasn't caught up — a buy signal, not a warning. Bars show percentile vs. all NFL WRs. | ||||||

The deep-decoy profile. A 17.8-yard aDOT sits past the depth where weekly production turns boom/bust, and a 14.5% target share says he isn't earning volume when he's out there. Best-ball ceiling, seasonal-league headache. Bars show percentile vs. all NFL WRs. | ||||||
| Darnell MooneyWR3WR78 in target share, NFL | 0.23below startable | 9.6%+6.7 vs W1 | 57%−13 vs W1 | 00 · 0 · 0 | Volatile | |
The role is arriving before the box score does. His target share has run 7% → 9% → 14% over the last 3 games. Volume that is growing this fast gets repriced the week it scores. Production is running +0.9 over expected, so this is volume, not a hot streak. Bars show percentile vs. all NFL WRs. | ||||||

Contingent value, quantified. The 15% touch share is standalone-flex-in-a-pinch at best; the real number is what it becomes if Skattebo misses time — see The Backfield Split above. Bars show percentile vs. all NFL RBs. | ||||||

A pocket passer's profile. 0 green-zone carries and a 1.8% scramble rate: his points have to come through the air, so his weekly range follows the pass volume (QB34 in expected points). He's −5.1 a game against expected: the volume is there and the box score hasn't caught up — a buy signal, not a warning. Bars show percentile vs. all NFL QBs. | ||||||

Coaching Profile & Tendencies
Play-calling tendencies carry over from season to season when the play-caller stays the same — and become unreliable the moment he changes. That's the whole reason this module exists: before you trust any Giants projection, you need to know whose fingerprints are on the offense and how stable they are. For the Giants the answer is: new fingerprints. Matt Nagy is calling this offense for the first time in 2026, though from the same scheme family as his predecessor — so the 2026 sample, not last year's, is the signal.

More under center.
Shotgun rate fell from 77% to 54.2% — more under-center snaps, which usually travels with a heavier run game and play-action rather than quick game.
4.5no-huddle
The huddle is back.
No-huddle rate fell from 21.5% to 4.5%. A more deliberate operation usually means fewer total snaps — a quiet tax on everyone's volume.
52motion
More motion at the snap.
Motion at the snap rose from 38.4% to 52% of charted plays. Motion buys free releases and defined reads — it tends to concentrate targets on the players the scheme is built around.

The call sheet runs through the coordinator here: Matt Nagy has the play-calling duties while head coach John Harbaugh runs the game. The profile on this page is his.
Defensive coordinator
Dennard Wilson
Dean Pees/Mike Macdonald-influenced, multiple pressure defense built around quarters-heavy match coverage, disguised two-high/single-high rotations and creative pressure packages. Wilson emphasizes physicality and front movement and is the defensive play-caller.
Through Week 4 the defense allows 0.12 EPA per play (27th in the NFL, bottom-ten). A defense this leaky adds possessions and passing-down snaps for its own offense — game-script fuel for the pass catchers.

Nagy has 4 prior play-calling seasons in this table, so read the history as background and the 2026 pace row as the live read. Positional finishes are season-long PPR ranks from nflverse scoring data. A row with a week range covers only the games he called that season, ranked against the league over the same weeks.
How he distributes the ball
Target split by position across Nagy's play-calling seasons since 2016, vs. league average.
Filled bar = Nagy offenses · thin marker = league average
The lean: wide receivers run 4 points below league average under Nagy (55% vs 59%). Position splits this stable are scheme, and scheme is what carries week to week.
How he manages a backfield
Lead back's share of backfield weighted opportunities, by season called.
No clean trend: the lead back's share of backfield weighted opportunities (carries + 2×targets) has moved around season to season. Treat the current split as the read and revisit it weekly.
Play-calling by score state
Pass rate when leading, close, and trailing, 2026 through Week 4.
A 17-point pass-rate swing between leading and trailing. Ahead, the backfield eats; behind, the targets spike — check the spread before you set a flex. Play counts are shown so you can weigh each bucket's sample.
The fantasy bottom line: a new play-caller means 2025 data is context at best — what you can bank on is what Nagy is showing now: red-zone pass rate below league average (43% vs 56%), and early-down pass rate below league average (45.7% vs 55%). The target tree leans WR, and the lead back holds 64% of the backfield's weighted opportunities. Every number on this page is computed from nflverse play-by-play and FTN charting — when it changes, the page changes.
