New York Giants vs. New York Jets, Friday, August 28, 2026
According to Kalshi's 2026 NFL market-implied power rankings, the Giants enter as the No. 26 team in the league while the Jets rank 29th.
Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has started every preseason game so far and has drawn strong reviews through camp. Team reporters singled him out as the offense's best player during a joint practice against Miami. His Week 3 snap plan for the finale had not been announced as of this writing.
Neither team had confirmed its starter-usage plan for Friday as of this writing. The NFL does not require formal injury reports during the preseason, so availability is typically confirmed closer to kickoff.
The annual Giants-Jets preseason game draws more attention than a standard Week 3 finale given the crosstown rivalry, even with rosters this thin into their depth charts.
Both teams' roster-bubble battles are the real story. The Giants continue to evaluate depth behind Dart. The Jets' backup competition has been a running theme of camp since their Week 1 loss to Tampa Bay.
