Cam Skattebo Rest-of-Season Outlook
Pass-catching RB2 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB37 last season at 16.0 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's RB21 at 12.2 PPR points per game, against 16.0 over 8 games last season (RB37). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 25th of 95 in rushing volume (12.6 carries per game), 8th of 95 in receiving role (4.0 targets per game) and 48th of 95 in efficiency (1.90 yards after contact per carry). His points come from his receiving role. Efficiency is the soft spot. Jameis Winston is his quarterback.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Najee Harris is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
The next favorable matchup is the Saints in Week 6 (7th against RBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Skattebo's rookie tape is a workhorse profile cut short: 101 carries for 410 yards (4.06 per tote) plus 24 grabs on a 6.4% target share across just eight games before a Week 8 ankle and fibula fracture ended things. The receiving chops are real, with 1.56 yards per route run and 209 yards after the catch, and the goal-line trust shows up in nine goal-line carries, 27 red-zone touches and seven scores. The -0.074 EPA per play and 1.9 yards after contact flag a grinder more than a creator, but volume covers that.
The Giants declined to add a back, leaving him atop the depth chart over Tyrone Tracy with only a rookie lineman bolstering the front. He's reportedly tracking toward training-camp readiness. An easy early schedule and a projected 234-carry, 1,000-yard role make him a sturdy RB2 with RB1 upside if the leg holds.
