Who Should I Start? Cam Skattebo or Kaleb Johnson

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) said on the Rich Eisen Show last week that he probably has "a little over a month left" until he's "fully back to 100%." Skattebo added that he ran at around 75% intensity for the first time last week. The 24-year-old said he's doing a little more than a jog while striding out, and he also fully expects to be ready to roll for training camp this summer after suffering a gruesome right-ankle injury in late October that ended what had been a promising rookie season in 2025. Injury aside, Skattebo said new head coach John Harbaugh's offense fits his skill set as an RB perfectly, so the Arizona State alum has high hopes for his second year in the NFL and beyond. There have been rumors circulating that the Giants want to add a high-profile RB in either free agency or the draft, signaling that they might be worried about Skattebo's long-term durability. Skattebo averaged 4.1 yards per carry and had 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries in his first eight NFL games before his injury. His 2026 fantasy value will depend on what the Giants do in the draft at the position, but right now, he sits atop the depth chart.
