“If you take [Malik] Nabers out of this group, this is one of the weakest groups of skill players in the entire NFL.” @

What happened: Mina Kimes argued that outside of its top receiver, the Giants' skill-position group ranks among the weakest in the NFL, and that Jaxson Dart's development could hinge on that supporting cast. The take framed New York's pass-catchers as a swing factor heading into the quarterback's next season.

Why it matters: Dart enters 2026 as the Giants' full-time starter, making the quality of his weapons central to the team's offensive outlook. If the receiver room beyond its headliner underdelivers, it raises the degree of difficulty for a passer still establishing himself.

What to watch: Watch how the Giants' receiver depth sorts out through training camp and whether a reliable second option emerges alongside the group's top target.
