Will the New York Giants go from worst to first in the NFC East next season? Do they have the best shot among last-place finishers from 2025 to flip the script in their respective divisions in 2026?
The Associated Press’ Josh Dubow pointed to the Giants’ strength at the top of their coaching and roster hierarchies as reason for optimism that the team can finish first in the NFC East next season.
Reason for optimism: New coach John Harbaugh brings a proven track record to a franchise that needed a big jolt. Jaxson Dart showed flashes as a rookie with 15 touchdown passes and nine TD runs and could be better if WR Malik Nabers is healthy. Brian Burns and Abdul Carter give New York a potential strong one-two punch at pass rusher and rookie Arvell Reese could make an immediate impact.
Reason for pessimism: The Giants had one of the league’s worst run defenses last season and traded away defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence in the offseason. That leaves a potentially big hole on the interior defensive line. If Nabers doesn’t get back to his rookie form from 2024, the offense lacks playmakers on the outside.
The Giants possess clear star power. Dart is capable of topping 3,500 passing yards and 500 rushing yards in 2026. Nabers has the talent to finish among the league’s top five in receiving yards. Cam Skattebo is expected to approach 1,000 rushing yards, while Tyrone Tracy has already shown he can produce 1,000 scrimmage yards in a season.
On defense, Burns ranks among the league’s premier sack artists, and Carter could soon join that group. With Super Bowl-winning coach Harbaugh in place to develop the Giants’ young talent and build continuity—particularly on defense—New York has a legitimate chance to overcome the division’s strong competition and capture the NFC East crown next season.
