Cam Skattebo

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 should 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). He's best viewed as a volume-driven RB2, but I won't be shocked if he's an RB1 this season.

Can Skattebo said he is “ready to go” during an interview at Fantatics Fest this last weekend. His QB Jaxson Dart, who was also present, added that “he looks good.”

Fantasy Impact

Skattebo is working his way back from a gruesome ankle injury, but has now gone viral for a trying to show off his healthy status during a somewhat failed backflip attempt at Fanatics Fest. If it’s true that he’s good to go, Skattebo could easily find himself as an RB1 on the cheap for drafters given the kind of workload he sustained last year and the current offensive system he finds himself in.
