Great news — your premise is more accurate than you maybe realized! John Harbaugh actually is the Giants' head coach in 2026 after leaving the Ravens, and he's brought exactly the kind of run-first mentality you'd expect.
Here's the rundown on what that means for the Giants' backfield:
Cam Skattebo (PPR rank #57) is the biggest winner. The wiki says Harbaugh's arrival "amplifies Skattebo's opportunity" — the team signed Pro Bowl fullback Patrick Ricard and drafted OL Francis Mauigoa 10th overall, both clear signals of a heavy run commitment (from the Cam Skattebo page). Josh & Hayden on Underdog also noted that "Harbaugh just wants to run the freaking football on offense" and that the Giants were aggressive looking at veteran RBs in free agency [].
The one catch: Skattebo's health. He suffered a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula, and ruptured ligament late last season. He's currently expected to miss OTAs and minicamp but should be full-go for training camp in July. If his burst returns, he's got legit featured-back upside in a Harbaugh offense.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. (PPR #133) looks like the clear backup for now — he's deep on the radar but could get a boost if Skattebo's recovery takes longer than expected.
So short answer: yes, Harbaugh's run-first identity is a major green flag for Skattebo, assuming his ankle holds up. He's a strong late-round target with RB2 upside.
