Cam Skattebo Fantasy Football Outlook (2026)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Aug 23rd 2026, 11:39pm EDT

The human battering ram known as Cam Skattebo made waves in his rookie season before being sidelined by a horrible ankle/fibula fracture that also ruptured his deltoid ligament in Week 8 of last season. In Weeks 2-7 as the Giants' workhorse, Skattebo averaged 19.5 touches and 96.3 total yards as the RB8 in fantasy points per game. I won't be surprised if Skattebo's per-touch efficiency is impacted for at least part of his 2026 season, if not the entire year, as he works his way back from last year's injury. If he's good to go, he could be the Giants' leading ball carrier this season. Last season, he was stellar with his touches, ranking fourth in missed tackle rate and yards after contact per attempt, 11th in target per route run rate, eighth in yards per route run, and second in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). With his preseason usage calling his workhorse status into question, Skattebo should be viewed as an RB2 on worrisome ground. The signing of Najee Harris doesn't help his outlook either.
