Who Should I Start? Cam Skattebo or Reggie Virgil

Thursday, November 12, 8:50 PM

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries in Thursday night's 24-21 home loss to the Washington Commanders. He added 44 yards on 3-of-4 receiving. The second-year pro out of Arizona State missed Week 9's win over the Eagles with a hamstring injury, but was back out in full force for this one, running with his signature ferocity en route to his second career multi-touchdown performance. After Skattebo's soft benching back in Week 6, when he didn't record a touch, he responded with back-to-back excellent showings while compiling a 35/202/3 rushing line. If the 24-year-old can maintain his work in the passing game, he's likely to remain a valuable fantasy asset for the rest of the season. Either way, Skattebo profiles as a strong RB2 at his best and is finally looking like himself as we hit the back half of the campaign. We'll see if he can keep it up in next weekend's unfavorable draw against a stout Jacksonville Jaguars defense.
