Cam Skattebo News
Wednesday, June 10, 5:50 AM
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo brought an undeniable flash of excitement to the team's improving offense in 2025 before a gruesome ankle injury ended his rookie campaign. In the six games in which he handled a full workload, Skattebo averaged 17.4 half-PPR points per game and was the RB6 from Weeks 2 through 7. Having already cleared several major hurdles in his recovery and taking part in team drills, the second-year runner has made an impression on new head coach John Harbaugh, who recently referred to Skattebo as a "top-tier back" and a "tone-setter". Harbaugh was responsible for the league's most run-heavy offense in his final seasons in Baltimore, and if Skattebo can stay healthy without sacrificing the hard-running style that has defined his early career, he has legitimate league-winning upside.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt News
Monday, June 15, 6:30 PM
Washington Commanders second-year running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who has missed some offseason work due to a soft-tissue injury, has the best chance to become the team's lead back in 2026, according to Zach Selby of Commanders.com. Croskey-Merritt, also known as Bill, has "quickness on the outside and has enough burst to run through creases at the line of scrimmage." The 25-year-old rushed for 805 yards in 2025, third in his draft class, and added eight touchdowns on 175 carries over 17 games (seven starts). JCM must still improve in pass protection, but he showed plenty of patience and decisiveness as a ball-carrier despite not being taken until the seventh round in the 2025 NFL draft. Croskey-Merritt was used sparingly as a pass-catcher as a rookie, hauling in nine passes on just 13 targets for 68 yards. Newcomer Rachaad White will most likely operate as Washington's primary pass-catching back, with Jerome Ford and Jeremy McNichols providing veteran depth. Ball security was another issue for JCM as a rookie, and if those issues resurface in Year 2, he could quickly lose touches to White, Ford, and McNichols. Fantasy managers should consider Croskey-Merritt as an RB3/4 with upside if he proves himself more in passing situations.
