Who Should I Start? Cam Skattebo or Bhayshul Tuten

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) underwent season-ending surgery last week, but he is not expected to face a very complicated rehab process, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Although the rookie suffered a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula, and ruptured deltoid ligament in Week 8, he quickly underwent successful surgery and is on track to return to football action within six months. "Even at the very latest benchmark, he should be ready to roll for OTAs and minicamp," Rapoport wrote in an X post about Skattebo. As the Giants approach the back half of their season, they'll turn to Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. to lead their backfield. Redraft managers can drop Skattebo, but dynasty managers should hold onto him, as he'll likely be a high-end RB2 next season.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (finger) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice session. Tuten suffered a right-finger injury during Sunday's win over the New York Jets. The rookie running back is likely going to require surgery to repair his right-finger injury. If that happens, Tuten is expected to miss multiple weeks of action and possibly the final three weeks of the regular season. His absence would likely mean a larger role for Travis Etienne Jr. in the backfield. Rookie LeQuint Allen Jr. will also be asked to step up as the backup to Etienne. Allen has been quiet with 81 yards on 18 attempts this season as the third-string back. There's a chance he offers deep-league fantasy value if Tuten is unable to play against the Denver Broncos in Week 16.
