RB Cam Skattebo, NYG (1 Viewer)

This is one guy I'm willing to reach on. For those believers, what round(s) are you targeting him in 12 team PPR redraft?
Round 8 or so, though I haven't gotten many shares of him as Jaylen Warren is usually there at the same area.
Aren't we concerned about Warren's pass pro and the potential for Kaleb Johnson to take a greater % of touches in Pitt than Tracy will in NY?

I think Warren is more likely to rack up catches and I think Pittsburgh is likely to be more run heavy as well as more productive.
 
I think this backfield starts 50-50 with Skattebo pulling away as the year goes on. He's the better GL runner, and the better pass catcher. I think Tracy profiles better as a COP RB anyway.

I do wonder if this offense is good enough for either to rise above RB3/FLEX levels, especially in weeks where TDs aren't scored.
i see the opposite, and Tracy showed his rookie year he is valuable. But for either to be worth anything, Giants cant be getting blown out 2 outta every 3 weeks. And we'll see what Wilson or Dart does with RBs and targets in that offense.
I didn't think Tracy showed much last year. He popped a couple big runs but was mostly not a tackle breaker or a valuable pass catcher and had some bad fumbles. He just had a solid October.
When I saw him he looked good to me. He was also a rookie who didnt play the first 4 weeks. Its not like he was Jeanty or Hampton this year, getting all the reps, expectations, plans for him. He has stuff to improve on, and if he does, will leave Skattebo in the dust.

Have him as RB6, as stated above. He is just ahead of Bayshul (B.) Tuten. Although, I like the naming potential for my team, with a guy like B. Tuten on the roster.

I think Skattebo has the contact balance, vision and patience to be in the league for a long time. He isn't going to blow the doors off anyone with speed but he doesn't have to. He is going to be a problem for a loan defender in space due to his size, balance and ability to move thru contact.

I said he's probably player 12/13 for me. So, first round in 12 team league.

I can't say I would put him in the first round. I just checked 3 of my dynasty leagues and he went 2.02, 2.05, 2.05. My other three are DEVY, so it wouldn't be accurate looking at those. Mid 2nd sounds about right to me. 1st round is reaching.

Not by much. Player 17 being drafted at player 12? Probably not even reaching enough to strain a muscle, and that's good enough at my age.

But yeah, I typically try to trade predraft to where I think I need to be. Skattebo is a polarizing player. He's far from a burner. He's on a bad team. I don't think you'll have to fight people to draft him.

I had Tracy cheap in a contract league and I drafted Skattebo as there just weren’t better options. Yet soon after the draft I put together a larger deal and traded both for Chase Brown. There were other important aspects of the deal including other players but I simply didn’t like the risks with the NYG RB room and I loved what I think CBrown can do in the high octane CIN offense.
 
Just had Chris Bisignano from The Giant Insider on my radio show a few minutes ago. He says Tracy is going to start, but was super-enthusiastic about Skattebo. Said the rookie is putting on show every practice and climbing up the depth chart. Bisignano also stressed Skattebo is going to be a receiving asset. My interpretation is Skattebo opens the season behind Tracy but will have every opportunity to move ahead quickly if he continues on his current trajectory.
 
2025 New York Giants training camp: Latest intel, updates

Excerpt:

Friday, Aug. 1​

Rookie running back Cam Skattebo returned to practice, if only briefly.

Skattebo, who is dealing with a leg injury, was limited in recent days. Coach Brian Daboll said before practice the Giants were "managing" the fourth-round pick, although he wouldn't specify the exact injury.

Skattebo seemed to be making progress. He took a couple reps in live drills (including one with the first-team offense) before leaving after seemingly aggravating the injury. Skattebo walked off the field with a trainer and looked to be favoring his hamstring.

It's a setback considering Skattebo looked explosive early in training camp. He was especially effective as a receiver out of the backfield.

Now, he's dealing with a leg injury that needs to be monitored. It could greatly affect his effectiveness early in the season.
 
I’m a giants Homer but I think he’s a fantasy overreach based on the Giants schedule and totality of the offense.

Dart will likely be starting as it’s time for skat to ascend just capping the opportunities

Nowhere near a 8/9 pick
