Who will be the New York Giants players to target in fantasy football drafts this year?
The Giants’ offense is primed to soar in 2026, with several new additions set to enhance the passing attack and the returning Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo on track to do the heavy lifting in the receiving game and the ground game, respectively.
Though the Giants have significant talent on their offensive unit, four players stand out as attractive options in fantasy football PPR leagues next season. They range from elite starters at their positions to breakout candidates and waiver-wire adds capable of winning games for their managers.

WR Malik Nabers
Per the ESPN Fantasy Football experts, Nabers is projected to record 76 receptions for 1,003 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns next season, along with four rushing attempts for 20 rushing yards, for a total of 217.96 fantasy points in PPR leagues.
Nabers is coming off a torn ACL suffered in Week 4 of the 2025 season. His injury status creates some early-season question marks for 2026. Nevertheless, at full strength, he has the potential to greatly exceed his projections as one of the league’s most prolific receivers.
RB Cam Skattebo
Skattebo is projected to have a career year in 2026 with 1,048 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns, along with 49 receptions for 365 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns, for a total of 242.06 fantasy points.
The distinguishing factor that makes Skattebo an attractive fantasy option is his expected involvement in the passing attack. Barring injury, he should provide substantial value for team managers.
RB Tyrone Tracy
Tracy will serve as the backup in the Giants’ ground game next season. Despite that role, he is forecasted to be one of the best waiver-wire adds in PPR leagues with 14 teams or fewer and a strong bench option in deeper leagues, thanks in large part to his prowess as a pass-catcher.
The Purdue product is projected to record 417 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown, along with 16 receptions for 117 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown, for a total of 80.36 fantasy points.
TE Isaiah Likely
Likely is one of the biggest breakout candidates in the NFL for the 2026 season. Even in a crowded receiving corps in New York, he is expected to be one of the most targeted pass-catchers for the Giants.
In his first season out of the shadow of star tight end and former Baltimore Ravens teammate Mark Andrews, Likely is projected to record 685 receiving yards on 64 receptions and four receiving touchdowns, for a total of 156.68 fantasy points in PPR leagues.
