I gotta be honest, I want to like this guy, but his personality just annoys the heck out of me. I could see his teammates getting annoyed with him too.
Is it just me?

He brings grit,fire and attitude. Something the Giants sorely lack I'll take a spoonful of annoyance.
Just talked to my new neighbor who moved from Arizona and saw him play several times in college. Mentioned I was a Giants fan. New neighbor said "Congratulations,your team just got a stud running back who will prove to be a steal"

TE? The two good ones will have long gone and every other one is clearly less valuable than Skattebo. Got to assume you are playing in a TEP league and neglected to mention it

It's pronounced Far - vvv, it's like deuchebage but the E at the end is silent.
Funny I'd phrase it as the opposite of slept on, one of the most hyped 4th round RB's I can recall in dynasty that's for sure.

This is an interesting take from a Deebo fan. Skatt runs hard and has only Tracy as competition. Tracy is a good athlete, but he's green. There's upside here if he's given the opportunity.

Clearly less valuable? I mean sure that's what the adp says. There's always players hyped up beyond what they should be, alot of times its runningbacks. People seem to forget Shattebo and Tuten were drafted in the 4rh round irl. Coming from an unabashed draft capital snob - thats me - give me a 2nd round irl tight end every single day.
Not sure you are properly characterizing my thoughts on Deebo but just the same I don't understand what he has to do with my post?

I was going back through Deebo's thread, and your name is littered throughout the last few pages. I popped in here and saw your post about Skatt being too hyped. He and Deebo are bowling balls! How can you love one and not the other? The NYG depth chart is wide open and ripe for the taking. I like Skattebo's chances if he's given an opportunity.
I do like Deebo, not hardcore on him and or that much higher then consensus, his limitations against man coverage require him to schemed and his battles with weight are issues. I think most of the things I said I on him are I don't think he's washed and like the landing spot and commitment the Commanders have shown him. I think we've debated previously on him that I've always viewed his usage as overblown in terms of him the wear and tear or injury risk because it's not a lot of carries, like 3'ish a game. When he gets more then that it's generally been my least favorite usage for him as it's usually comes out of neccessity and leads to a reduction in receptions.
I did not say Skatt was to hyped. I said he was getting more hype then any 4th round RB I can ever recall and thus was the opposite of getting slept on.
Though I did not say or imply it I am lower then consensus on Skatt I would say I am. I'm not cocksure on this, I can see where I'd be wrong, but my main issue on him is I have reservations about a 22.5 year old breakout who was bowling over a bunch of younger players in weak conference and how that translates to tryng to do that week in and week out in NFL. The Texas game was huge though and that game is what gives me doubts about doubting him.
But in summary my point in my comment was about he's more hyped then any 4th round RB I can recall.
But here I'd turn it back on you, lol. If you are concerned about Deebo staying healthy about being a bowling ball on 3 carries a game how can you not have those concerns with Skatt?

Oof, if you're going to publish things online, run it through AI or an editor (not you as in Faust, just "in general"
)It's not as bad as mixing up "there" and "their", but I see the "compliment/complement" mixup all the time!
/word nerd
.... also, to add to the discussion: Tracy is a converted WR and Skattebo runs angry... I could definitely see some kind of committee, as early as Year One.

To be fair those photos are trash. He knows those guys just not from those horrible photos.

I’m in AZ and watched a lot of games. They always said “bow.”
I don't know that I love the player. But the landing spot? I wrote this after the draft:
Nothing I've seen or heard since has changed that view for me.

This was the stereotypical RB to own 10 years ago, right? Guy that can get you 3 yards with a stacked box. Expecting some decent TD numbers.
I have been watching some video on him and he isn't explosive but he continually moves through contact, arm tackles won't get the job done. Elusive? Not at all. He just keeps moving. He is a big back that plays like one. He seems to have some receiving chops too. I haven't looked at redraft ADP's but he's probably my rookie RB6 right now and player #12 in rookie drafts.
Tracy is good but I think there is a role available for Skattebo.

Feel good about my rostering of Tracy. Crowd will love this guy’s toughness but the problem will be his other “es,” and that is that he moves like molasses.
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.

People seem to be saying that a RB getting a reliable 3 yds and then falling forward while being tackled like it’s a bad thing. A RB who gets his O a reliable 4 yds per carry is gold to an O. It keeps that O in great down and distance situations and keeps the entire playbook available.
Yeah, it’s not sexy but it sure makes the offense a lot more dynamic and difficult to defend.

Depends on the offense really. Idk what the Giants play but generally a spread zone scheme needs an RB with some wiggle. If the Giants are a power running team then sure, he's the perfect guy for the job.
Bronco Billy
Footballguy
You don’t have to have a RB with wiggle regardless of scheme. You need a guy patient enough to let his blocks set up and then as they are being set he needs to see them and get into them quickly. It looks to me like Skatebo can do that. Wiggle is a luxury.
pinkstapler

Elusive/wiggle idk what exactly people mean when they use these words; but Cam was second only to Jeanty in all 2024 NCAA RBs with regards to MTF per attempt. Jeanty 0.4 and Cam was at 0.35. I think he showed some of the best contact balance of all RBs in this rookie class, and for my history with fantasy, contact balance is one of the attributes most often correlated with success at the next level. Much more so than speed in my experience at least. And it's obviously subjective, but from what I watched of him at Sacramento State and Arizona, he showed great footwork and agility behind the line and more than enough short area burst. While I'm sure many of his MTF were from bulldozing people, I don't think he's getting enough credit for his savviness behind the line, especially considering there's a wealth of tape showing him doing this behind a mediocre, and often poor, offensive line in college. If he didn't have elusiveness or wiggle, he would have been TFL a TON more than he actually was.
Bumping up Tracy
titusbramble
Footballguy
If it is a reliable and relatively consistent 4 yards per carry then I just go 1st and 10, 2nd and 6, 3rd and 2, move chains, go for two when we score, repeat until ACL tear

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.

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?

I hate cheering against this guy but this is my season we’re talking about here. Tracy was an exorbitant cost and I ain’t got no more cash. Good luck, Mo-lasses.
