Jaxson Dart enters his first full season as the New York Giants’ starting quarterback under new head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, following a 2025 rookie campaign in which he posted nine rushing touchdowns and 487 yards despite missing time with a concussion. The Giants have emphasized a run-first approach and health preservation, directing more red-zone work to backs such as Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy while adding receiving weapons around Dart to support a more balanced passing attack. Preseason reports note ongoing emphasis on Dart sliding more often to limit big hits, and projections place his rushing touchdown total in the four-to-six range. A full 17-game slate, scheme familiarity, and designed quarterback runs remain variables that could influence his ground production.
