Jaxson Dart

The New York Giants have officially reunited with 33-year-old wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on a one-year contract after the veteran sat out the entire 2025 season. Beckham profiles as a depth piece rather than a fantasy savior, considering his last 1,000-yard campaign occurred in 2019 and his last active season in 2024 yielded a geriatric 14.1% Target Share with just 9 receptions for 55 yards in Miami.

Beckham fortunately joins a depleted WR room in New York and will immediate compete for targets with Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin. Once Malik Nabers returns, Beckham will be relegated to a nostalgia piece.

The New York Giants are ready to deploy a brutal, ground-and-pound assault under Matt Nagy, with franchise quarterback Jaxson Dart telegraphing a heavy dose of volume for running backs Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. While Skattebo finished his rookie season with an elite 3.84 Yards Created Per Touch (No. 6 among qualifying backs) and a +10.6 Production Premium (No. 6), he admits he is still facing a massive mental hurdle to fully trust his surgically repaired ankle. If he is not 100-percent by the season opener, expect Tracy to heavily command the high-value touches, leaving veterans like Devin Singletary to be rotational pieces.

If the starting quarterback is already preparing the ground for a run-heavy scheme in May, it will be challenging for Dart, Malik Nabers and other members of the Giants passing game to exceed their fantasy points scoring expectations. Dart and Nabers are a hard fade in all fantasy formats with an eye toward buying the dip in dynasty as the regular season wears on.

After recently undergoing a knee “clean up” procedure per The Athletic’s Dan Duggan, it is simply not realistic to expect star receiver Malik Nabers to return for the start of training camp. Head coach Harbaugh noted Nabers is working hard daily to recover, though he admitted the injury is complex and the team will have to “see what happens” moving forward.

Due to this ongoing uncertainty, Nabers’ current mid-to-late second-round ADP has not yet fully factored in his injury downside. He is an easy avoid in all formats until more information surfaces about the nature of the knee injury and the progress of his recovery

After the Giants traded up to draft the big-bodied Malachi Fields in the third round, he is expected to see significant snaps during his rookie season with the Giants. Coach John Harbaugh praised his elite game speed and agility, noting that GPS data shows him playing much faster than his 4.61-second combine 40-yard dash.

Unfortunately, all of the GPS data in the sports world cannot convince fantasy gamers that Fields can separate at the NFL level. Field is a prototypical tailpipe banana in dynasty rookie drafts, though New York’s thin WR corps sets up Fields to emerge as a popular waiver wire target as his debut season progresses.

No big surprise here. While it is encouraging to hear Malik Nabers is setback-free, this statement is a reminder that Nabers is not going to be full-go to start the season.

If the head coach is already admitting that Nabers will likely open camp on the PUP list, then there is a strong possibility that Nabers starts the season on the PUP list for four games before being eased back into action in October. Nabers is a classic redraft sell and dynasty buy.
