Fantasy Football Player Notes

Cam Skattebo started the season off with a solid showing as the RB18 in fantasy. He played 60.3% of the snaps, finishing with 18 rushing attempts and 81 rushing yards (one score). The human battering ram didn't garner a target, and he had a disappointing 30.3% route share. We'll have to see if this continues as we move through the season or if the Giants are simply easing him in. Among 33 qualifying rushers in Week 1, Skattebo ranked 15th in explosive run rate, 18th in yards after contact per attempt, and ninth-best in missed tackle rate. Skattebo should have another nice game in Week 2 against a run defense that allowed the ninth-highest explosive run rate, the highest rushing success rate, and the highest yards before contact per attempt in Week 1. The Giants were third-best in yards before contact per attempt in Week 1. This new-look offensive line should be able to open holes for Skattebo in Week 2.
