New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo rushed 19 times for 98 yards and three touchdowns during Thursday's upset victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. He also caught each of his two targets, totaling 12 receiving yards. The rookie held onto his lead-back role despite Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) returning to action. Between his large volume, high efficiency, and nose for the end zone, Skattebo has proven that he deserves to be the bell-cow running back in New York. He has established himself as a potential fantasy football league-winner and should rank as a fringe top-12 running back against the Broncos in Week 7.

According to a new story by Jordan Raanan of ESPN, the New York Giants view running back Cam Skattebo as both their top option of the present and the future. The rookie from Arizona State has received the lion's share of work with Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) out for the past couple weeks, but the team apparently views Skattebo as their preferred option for the near term. Fantasy managers have seen nice return on investment in Skattebo, especially in PPR formats, in which his 14 catches the past three games has paired nicely with 198 rushing yards and a touchdown. The split between the two backs will be worth watching, but it seems like Skattebo will carry the upper hand.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is a volatile RB2 for the Week 6 Thursday night matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, despite his recent workhorse usage. Skattebo, currently the RB17 in fantasy points per game (12.26 FPTS/G) on the season, has commanded a 66.7% timeshare in his last two games, recording 63 carries for 240 yards and two touchdowns, plus 18 receptions for 143 yards. The Eagles defense is a moderate run matchup, ranking 22nd by allowing 126.8 rushing yards per game and giving up four rushing touchdowns, yet they are a top-tier challenge near the goal line, boasting the 3rd best red-zone defense with a 42.9% touchdown rate. Furthermore, the Eagles have been generous to fantasy running backs, allowing 23.26 fantasy points per game (25th in the NFL), but the potential return of Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Skattebo's costly red-zone fumble last week temper expectations, making him a touchdown-dependent RB2/Flex play.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is set up for another high-volume workload against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. With Tyrone Tracy Jr. still sidelined, Skattebo has cemented his role as the team's workhorse, commanding a 70.8% timeshare last week and ranking as the RB20 on the season with an average of 11.97 fantasy points per game. He faces a Saints defense that allows the 24th-most fantasy points to running backs but has significant vulnerabilities that a high-volume back can exploit. New Orleans ranks 30th in the NFL in both points allowed per game (30.3) and red zone touchdown percentage (76.9%), setting the stage for Skattebo to capitalize on scoring opportunities.

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo recorded 90 yards from scrimmage on 27 total touches in his team's Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. It was the first full game for New York without running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder), who is facing a multi-week absence after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 3. As long as Tracy Jr. remains sidelined, Skattebo could be in line for a significant number of touches. Overall, the 23-year-old has logged 279 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 48 carries and 12 receptions through the first four games of his NFL career. Heading into a favorable matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5, Skattebo can likely be considered a must-start fantasy running back.
Sep 30, 2025 10:02 PM EST
New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo has emerged as the team's bell cow and enters a challenging Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers as a volume-based RB2. The Chargers' defense has been elite against running backs, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the position (14.57 FPPG) and boasting the NFL's best red zone defense with a 25% TD rate. Despite the tough matchup on paper, Skattebo has been a top-8 fantasy RB over the last two weeks, commanding a 52.7% timeshare and proving his versatility with eight receptions and two rushing touchdowns. While L.A. is stingy on touchdowns, they rank 24th in rushing yards allowed (92.3), meaning Skattebo's high-volume role should keep him productive.
Sep 27, 2025 1:15 AM EST
New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo is expected to see a larger workload on Sunday night when the Giants face the Kansas City Chiefs. In their Week 1 contest, the rookie running back was given a minimal role as he missed a majority of training camp and the preseason due to a hamstring injury. In this game, Skattebo ran the ball only two times for -3 yards. However, in Week 2, the Arizona State product took a much larger role, and even saw more rushing attempts than the presumed starter, Tyrone Tracy Jr. Skattebo. He took 11 carries for 45 yards and punched in his first career rushing touchdown. Given his larger role last week and expectation to see even more attempts in Week 3, Skattebo projects to be a viable flex option despite facing a tough Kansas City defense.
Sep 21, 2025 11:07 AM EST
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo enters Week 3 as a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option following his breakout performance against Dallas. Skattebo scored 12.9 fantasy points in Week 2, earning a 50% timeshare and critical snaps late in the game, indicating he may be taking over the backfield, especially with Tyrone Tracy Jr. nursing a calf injury. He faces a significant challenge against a stout Kansas City Chiefs run defense that has allowed only two rushing touchdowns all season. The Chiefs rank as the 6th-toughest defense against fantasy running backs, allowing just 14.7 points per game to the position, which places Skattebo firmly in the RB3/flex category despite his promising usage.
Sep 20, 2025 12:17 AM EST
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo rushed for 45 yards on 11 rushing attempts and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 40-37 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Skattebo broke off a 24-year run in the fourth quarter, which was the longest run of the day for the Giants. He later punched it in for his first career touchdown. Skattebo outpaced Tyrone Tracy Jr. 11 to five in rushing attempts on Sunday and could have earned more touches with his great performance against Dallas. Skattebo will look to build on Sunday's performance in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Giants' rookie RB is only rostered in 58% of leagues and is worth picking up for fantasy teams needing help at running back.
Sep 15, 2025 9:02 AM EST
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is not a recommended fantasy start for Week 2, despite facing a favorable matchup. Skattebo was the RB58 in Week 1, with a minimal role, receiving only two carries for -3 yards and two receptions for 12 yards, totaling just 1.9 fantasy points on an 11.8% timeshare. While the Dallas Cowboys' defense was the 23rd-ranked fantasy defense against running backs in 2024 and gave up 158 rushing yards in Week 1, Skattebo is simply not seeing the volume to capitalize on the opportunity. His primary role appears to be as a depth and short-yardage option behind Tyrone Tracy Jr., which severely caps his fantasy upside.
Sep 13, 2025 2:00 AM EST
New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo is a player to watch for later weeks, but he is not a recommended play for his Week 1 debut. The Giants drafted Skattebo in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft after a standout college season with over 2,300 scrimmage yards. However, he is currently buried on the depth chart behind starting running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary. While the Commanders' defense was vulnerable to the run last season, ranking 24th against fantasy running backs and allowing 22.72 fantasy points per game, Skattebo is not expected to see enough volume to be a fantasy-relevant option in Week 1. Fantasy managers should monitor his usage, but he should remain on the bench to start the season.
Sep 6, 2025 1:19 AM EST
New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo made his professional debut with a short but efficient outing in the Giants' 42-10 preseason victory over the Patriots. The rookie, who has been nursing a hamstring injury for a few weeks, was active for the first time and handled the first three carries of the game. He finished the contest with three carries for 12 rushing yards, an average of 4.0 yards per carry, with a long run of four yards, and zero rushing touchdowns. Skattebo also did not record a reception. While he is currently behind Tyrone Tracy Jr. on the depth chart, Skattebo is a key backfield piece who should contribute off the bench in the regular season.
Aug 22, 2025 2:30 AM EST
New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) will return to the practice field at training camp on Tuesday, according to Newsday's Evan Barnes. Skattebo will most likely be limited in practice after his hamstring injury forced him to miss the first two presason games. It remains to be seen if the 23-year-old fourth-rounder will be able to play in the preseason finale on Thursday against the New York Giants. While the Arizona State product should have a role in the Giants' offense in his first NFL season, the missed practice time this summer means he has plenty of work to do to prove to the coaching staff that he deserves to be involved alongside Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary. Skattebo isn't fast, but he excels with power and explosiveness. He should eventually become New York's RB2 and is worth a fantasy draft pick as an RB3/flex.
Aug 19, 2025 1:11 PM EST
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.
Aug 2, 2025 12:32 PM EST
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.
Aug 1, 2025 10:47 AM EST
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.
Jul 31, 2025 5:06 PM EST
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.
Jul 28, 2025 2:28 PM EST
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.
Jun 18, 2025 2:46 PM EST
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.
