Post from Yahoo Fantasy Sports
Skattebo and Singletary controlled 28.2% of game clock; Skattebo averaged 2.9 YBC.
Skattebo was a 'clock killer' against Dallas, and as a duo with Devin Singletary, they chewed up 16 minutes and 54 seconds (28.2% of total game clock). The source notes that Skattebo doesn't have much long speed but his power comes from his ability to take time away from opponents and set up Dart for easier conversions. He averaged 2.9 yards before contact, the second-best performance against the Rams' defense.
Skattebo's physicality and 69% carry share exploit Rams' league-worst rushing defense.
Skattebo was dominant in Week 1 with 18 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown, displaying the physicality and downhill running the Giants want to establish. The source projects him at RB15 with 14.9 half-PPR points, above Yahoo (RB19) and ECR (RB19). The Rams allowed the highest rushing success rate and most yards before contact per attempt in Week 1, and will be without Myles Garrett on injured reserve. Skattebo handled 69% of Giants running back carries in Week 1, making this an ideal matchup for his physical running style.
Skattebo's 18 carries and Rams' weakened defense support top-10 RB finish.
Skattebo handled 18 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 under new HC John Harbaugh, with the Giants running for 165 yards against Dallas and playing with a physical identity that fits Skattebo perfectly. He now faces a Rams defense that San Francisco just ran through, with Christian McCaffrey averaging 6.8 yards per carry, Kaelon Black averaging 4.6, and the 49ers piling up 174 rushing yards—all with Myles Garrett on the field. Garrett is now headed to IR following knee surgery. The source projects Skattebo to finish as a top-10 RB in Week 2 with another 18-plus touches in this environment.
Skattebo's fumble on the toss play shows ball security issues when trying to gain extra yards.
Giants RB fumbled on a toss play while trying to do too much; carried the ball with only one hand and low away from his body, making it much more likely to lose control while bouncing off hits. The lesson is to avoid compromising ball security to pick up extra yardage, as the Giants won't be as lucky with fumble recovery next time.
Skattebo's fumble exposed ball security issues when seeking extra yards.
Skattebo fumbled on a toss play while carrying the ball with one hand and low, away from his body, attempting to pick up extra yardage. Unlike Tyrone Tracy, Skattebo's fumble was self-inflicted due to trying to do too much; he was bouncing off hits with compromised ball security. The lesson is to avoid compromising ball security to pick up extra yardage, as the Giants won't be as fortunate with turnover recovery next time.
Skattebo ranked 21st in RB consensus for Week 2 with variance.
Ranked 21st among running backs in Week 2 accuracy consensus; average ranking of 21 with range from 18 to 25 across expert models, showing notable variance in expert opinion.
Skattebo's limited passing role and Rams' elite run defense make Week 2 a tough matchup.
The source recommends benching Skattebo in Week 2 vs. Rams despite his stud fantasy status. The Rams are back in the U.S. with ample rest and revenge motivation after their Week 1 loss in Australia, and they held Christian McCaffrey to 13.8 fantasy points on 15 touches (McCaffrey was dealing with cramps). The Rams were the seventh-best schedule-adjusted defense against RBs last season. Additionally, Skattebo didn't get much passing work in Week 1, as Devin Singletary handled 50% of the routes and had a 14% target share.
Skattebo projects for 11.1 points in Week 2; down from 14.1 PPG.
Cam Skattebo is projected for 11.1 fantasy points in Week 2, with a current PPG of 14.1 through Week 1, indicating a notable decline in projection.
Skattebo's dominant Week 1 running exemplifies the Giants' physical run game.
Skattebo treated every tackle attempt like an insult in the Giants' Week 1 bully ball offense, completely steamrolling the Cowboys' defense with heavy personnel.
Skattebo's 50.5 rush yards prop and sub-50% TD odds make him a flex play in unfavorable Rams matchup.
Skattebo faces a difficult matchup against the Rams, who played in Australia without Aaron Donald in Week 1 and are getting the entire defense 11 days of rest for Week 2. Donald is expected back, and the Rams are 7-point favorites, which does not bode well for New York's rushing expectations. Skattebo's rush yards prop is among the lowest at the position this week at 50.5 yards, and his touchdown odds are below 50%. The source characterizes Skattebo as nothing more than a flex play in a bounce-back spot for the Rams.

Skattebo led Giants with 81 yards on 18 carries in Week 1 debut.
Second-year Giants RB led the team with 81 rushing yards on 18 carries in Week 1 against Dallas, demonstrating early-season production and workload in a run-heavy offense that finished fifth in rushing yards last season and has the lowest rate of runs stuffed in the NFL.
Skattebo led Giants' 165-yard Week 1 rushing attack with 81 yards.
Second-year running back led the Giants' Week 1 rushing attack with 81 yards on 18 carries against Dallas; part of a three-headed backfield (Skattebo, Singletary, Tracy) that combined for 1,587 rushing yards last season and finished fifth in rushing. The Giants have the lowest rate of runs stuffed in the NFL, suggesting sustainable ground-game success under John Harbaugh's run-first offensive scheme.
Skattebo's zero targets and 61% snap share concerning; TD-dependent vs. Rams.
Wolf Trelles-Heard is not loving Cam Skattebo as a borderline top-30 player this week. He owned the early-down work in the opener with 18 carries for 81 yards but did not see a single target, which is concerning. He also only played 61% of the snaps against the Cowboys; that number along with his carries could dip if they decide to make Najee Harris active this week. While Skattebo likely won't see zero opportunities in the passing game again, if he's not going to be a major part of that work, he needs to score a touchdown to pay off. He found pay dirt last week, but against a tougher Rams defense, there's no guarantee he does it again.
Skattebo led Giants' 165-yard rushing attack that controlled the game.
The source identifies Cam Skattebo as the lead dog in the Giants' running game, which combined with Jaxson Dart's 54 rushing yards to produce 165 total rushing yards. This ball control was cited as the key to how the Giants won the game.

Skattebo's rushing attack poses a four-quarter physical challenge for Rams defense.
The source identifies Skattebo as a primary rushing threat the Rams defense must neutralize in Week 2; the Rams' defensive line cannot sustain four quarters of physical bruising from Skattebo and fullback Patrick Ricard, suggesting the Giants' ground game poses a significant challenge.
Skattebo's rushing attack is a physical threat the Rams defense must contain.
Skattebo is part of the Giants' efficient rushing attack that poses a physical challenge to the Rams defense; the source warns the Rams cannot take four quarters of physical bruising from Skattebo and Patrick Ricard, indicating the Giants' ground game is a significant Week 2 threat.
Skattebo's 18 carries and TD secure RB2 status, but zero targets limit ceiling.
Skattebo operated as Giants' primary rusher in Week 1 (41 snaps, 18 carries, 81 yards, one TD) and was held without a target on nine routes; roles clearly defined with Singletary as passing-down specialist. Skattebo cemented as primary early-down and goal-line option, putting him in weekly RB2 discussion, but upside severely capped without receiving work.
