Who Should I Start? Cam Skattebo or Ollie Gordon II

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.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle) is considered questionable to return to Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie back suffered an ankle injury during the second quarter of this contest when he was tackled for a loss in the backfield and got his leg caught awkwardly underneath him. He limped off the field with the help of the training staff. Before exiting, Gordon had rushed the ball twice for no gain. His absence should mean an expanded role for backup Jaylen Wright. Lead back De'Von Achane figures to see a slightly larger role in the backfield as well.
