The MRI exam on New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was optimistic, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Skattebo will sit out of Monday's training camp practice, but Daboll said all the injured guys are "getting better." With Skattebo nursing a hamstring injury, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary have seen more work with the first-team offense in camp. The 23-year-old's injury isn't serious, but don't be surprised if the G-Men hold Skattebo out of their first preseason contest this Saturday versus the Buffalo Bills. Although Skattebo is one of the slowest RBs in the league, he makes up for it by being extremely powerful and explosive in short areas. He has workhorse potential but will have to settle for a complementary role in his first NFL season alongside Tracy and Singletary. RotoBaller has Skattebo ranked as the RB37 heading into fantasy draft season.

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) suffered a "setback" in his recovery from a hamstring injury during the team's practice on Friday, according to Giants head coach Brian Daboll. Skattebo is officially considered day-to-day but is expected to miss some time. The Giants had been holding Skattebo out of team drills to manage the injury earlier this week, but it appears as though he'll now need a full shutdown for at least a few days. Skattebo was a workhorse in his final collegiate season at Arizona State in 2024. In 13 games, he recorded 2,316 yards from scrimmage and 24 touchdowns on 338 total touches. Skattebo is expected to share time in the Giants' backfield this season with second-year back Tyrone Tracy Jr. and possibly veteran Devin Singletary as well. With each day he misses due to this hamstring injury, Skattebo is losing out on valuable training camp reps.

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo (undisclosed) has not seen action during team drills over the last few days of practice, according to beat reporter Evan Barnes. When asked about it multiple times, head coach Brian Daboll offered little more than "We're managing him." Skattebo was one of fantasy football's most polarizing prospects heading into the 2025 draft, and he lasted longer than some expected, with the Giants eventually taking him near the top of the fourth round. He entered camp in a positional battle with last year's fifth-round pick Tyrone Tracy Jr., and reports have indicated that he has flashed potential while running with both the ones and the twos. Any time missed will certainly hurt his chances of securing the lead role, but until further information emerges, he should be considered day-to-day.

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo (undisclosed) did not take part in Thursday's training camp practice with an undisclosed injury, according to The Athletic's Dan Duggan. Duggan added that the injury is "likely minor." It's probably nothing to be overly concerned about unless Skattebo doesn't get back on the field soon. The 23-year-old is slow for an NFL running back but has impressed as a pass-catcher early in camp this summer. Skattebo is not going to have a huge role in his first season in the NFL as long as Tyrone Tracy Jr. misses time with an injury, but he could have a role on pass-catching downs in 2025. The fourth-rounder out of Arizona State makes up for his lack of speed with power and short-area explosiveness. Fantasy managers should target him as more of an RB3/flex in PPR leagues, but if Tracy were to miss time, Skattebo would be an extremely valuable asset.

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo made big plays as both a rusher and receiver during team drills on Friday, according to Matt Citak of Giants.com. A fourth-round pick out of Arizona State, Skattebo gained 2,316 yards from scrimmage and scored 24 touchdowns in 13 games last season for the Sun Devils. He's competing with second-year back Tyrone Tracy Jr. and veteran Devin Singletary for touches in the Giants' backfield. Skattebo proved himself to be a workhorse who could handle both rushing and receiving duties at the college level. With a solid showing in training camp and preseason games, he could vault himself into a significant role right away in 2025. RotoBaller currently ranks him as RB35, four spots behind Tracy Jr. in full-PPR.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo has agreed to terms on his rookie deal and is set to officially sign on Wednesday, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. The fourth-round pick out of Arizona State carries plenty of fantasy football intrigue after a monster collegiate career of production. He began his career at Sacramento State before joining the Sun Devils' program in 2023. As a senior in 2024, Skattebo rushed 293 times for 1,711 yards and caught 45 passes for 605 yards. Overall, he tallied 2,316 yards from scrimmage and 24 touchdowns. Although 2024 rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. impressed in his first year of action, the two could be in a committee backfield in 2025, though Devin Singletary is still on the roster. All that said, Skattebo has workhorse size and could carve out a significant role with volume in 2025 or 2026.

The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll wonders if New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo can usurp Tyrone Tracy Jr. for the RB1 job in 2025. It's possible, but Carroll goes on to say that it's more realistic that Skattebo, the team's fourth-rounder out of Arizona State this year, jumps Devin Singletary for the RB2 role to begin his rookie season. Skattebo offers a more physical complement to Tracy's speed and is already a fan favorite in the Big Apple because of his physicality and underdog mentality. For now, Carroll is giving the slight edge to the veteran Singletary well before training camp, but it's very possible that Singletary falls further down the depth chart after losing the starting gig to Tracy in 2024. Skattebo makes up for his lack of speed with plenty of power and explosiveness. Don't be surprised if he becomes New York's primary pass-catching back early on in 2025.

SNY's Connor Hughes says not to be surprised if New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo ends up being the team's third-down back in 2025. Skattebo is a capable blocker and was very good as a receiver out of the backfield for Arizona State in 2024. The 23-year-old's dad was a receiver and used to drill him on the fundamentals of route-running, so he could already be the team's most talented pass-catching back. Hughes also writes that there were comparisons after the NFL draft of Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Skattebo recreating the team's old backfield of Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs. Skattebo is stocky at 5-foot-9, but he's not the physical back that Jacobs was. The fourth-rounder has unique fantasy upside as a potential powerful workhorse down the road, but the presence of Tracy might make him fantasy relevant only in PPR leagues in 2025.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the New York Giants are expected to use rookie fourth-round running back Cam Skattebo as a pass-catcher and a runner. They like the Arizona State's ability to track the ball out of the backfield. The 23-year-old came alive for the Sun Devils in 2024 with 1,711 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns on 293 carries while adding 45 receptions for 605 yards and another three scores through the air. The 23-year-old might be a weakness in pass protection, which could cost him as he looks to get involved alongside Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary, but his physicality and versatility in the backfield makes him an intriguing dynasty/keeper prospect heading into his rookie season. At the very least, Skattebo could be in consideration for a bench spot in deep PPR fantasy leagues in 2025. His addition certainly isn't great news for Tracy.
