The source targets Skattebo in Round 4 as one of his favorite running back targets, citing that running back dries up quickly after this round.NegativeProjectionAug 20, 2026

Skattebo averaged 19.1 fantasy points across his six full games before his season-ending ankle injury, piling up 117 touches (tied for fourth among RBs) and handling 22 red zone carries. Now John Harbaugh brings his run-heavy philosophy to New York, and new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy has emphasized building around his players' strengths and using the run game to help Dart. The Giants return four O-line starters and added first-rounder Francis Mauigoa. If Skattebo's workload carries over, he should outperform his ADP. Derrick Henry finished as the RB7 in 2025 after finishing as the RB3 in his first season with Baltimore, providing a comparable precedent.PositiveProjectionAug 11, 2026

Skattebo is flagged as overvalued despite early-season success. Chosen in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL draft, he became a fantasy star quickly, scoring seven touchdowns in eight games and appearing to be an RB1 option with high volume. However, his season ended in Week 8 with a dislocated ankle. The Giants' young trio (Dart, Skattebo, Nabers) were barely on the field together last season (18 snaps), and availability concerns persist into 2026. Few offenses feature as much boom-or-bust injury potential.NegativeSleeperJul 31, 2026
Cam Skattebo, 24 years old, is identified as a young back who could leap into (or back into) the weekly RB1 mix this year; he is part of a cohort of 25-and-younger backs (Love, Omarion Hampton, Breece Hall, Walker, Quinshon Judkins, Bucky Irving, TreVeyon Henderson, Bhayshul Tuten, Jadarian Price) who represent viable draft targets under the 'Zero RB' strategy. However, the source notes that questions about his health exist, suggesting caution.NegativeProjectionJul 30, 2026
