Jaxson Dart enters the 2026 season as the Giants’ established starter after a 2025 rookie campaign that featured 9 rushing touchdowns on 86 carries for 487 yards across 14 games. New head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy have shifted the scheme toward more under-center alignments, play-action, and a power run game to promote sustainability and reduce hits, following multiple concussion checks last year. This approach aims to limit designed quarterback runs and reckless scrambles compared to his prior high-volume usage, though Dart’s mobility supports continued RPO and goal-line involvement. Projections reflect a modest decline in rushing scores, with supporting cast upgrades and red-zone opportunities as key variables in a 17-game schedule.
