Has John Harbaugh's Giants training camp injury report affected any key fantasy players?

Answered 2026-08-21 · from the ChatFFB news wiki

Yes, John Harbaugh's first Giants training camp has been eventful on the injury front, and it directly impacts several fantasy-relevant players. Here's a breakdown:

Malik Nabers (WR, ADP ~WR14) — He's the biggest name to track. Nabers tore his ACL and meniscus in 2025, then needed a second scar-tissue procedure this offseason. There was real concern in July that he'd start the season on the PUP list and miss 4-5 weeks. But an August 11 update says he avoided the PUP list and is on track for Week 1 (from the Malik Nabers page). Still, his recovery is unpredictable — the meniscus complication makes this different from a clean ACL. On Establish The Run, they noted that not going on the active/PUP list is important because it keeps him eligible to play Week 1.

Cam Skattebo (RB, ADP ~RB24) — He suffered a gruesome lower-leg injury in October (dislocated ankle, fractured fibula, ruptured deltoid ligament), but has been moving well all offseason and expects to play Week 1 with no limitations. The positive: Harbaugh's run-first system and the additions of FB Patrick Ricard and first-round OL Francis Mauigoa make this a smash spot for volume. The caution: his rookie efficiency was just okay (4.1 YPC), and Fantasy Points noted that the coaching staff may lean on committee early while Nabers is out.

Three Achilles tears in OTAs — The Giants lost Gunner Olszewski (WR/returner), Roy Robertson-Harris (DL), and Thaddeus Dixon (DB) to torn Achilles during spring workouts. Harbaugh investigated and found no common cause, but the Olszewski injury removes a depth receiver from the competition (from the Giants page).

Bottom line: Nabers is the high-risk, league-winning upside swing at WR who looks increasingly likely to be ready Week 1. Skattebo is a solid RB2/3 with a clear path to volume in a run-heavy scheme, assuming his ankle holds up. Both are worth monitoring through the rest of camp.
