The injury to New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) has a four- to six-month recovery timeline, which would set up Skattebo to be ready for offseason OTAs and minicamp, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Skattebo had one of the more gruesome injuries that you will see, and ultimately suffered a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula, and a deltoid ligament rupture. The 23-year-old had a successful surgery to close the wound and put him on track to make a full recovery. The fourth-rounder out of Arizona State was having a great rookie campaign, totaling 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries to go with 24 receptions for 207 yards and two scores on 32 targets through eight games. Second-year back Tyrone Tracy Jr. will be expected to take over as the lead back in New York, with veteran Devin Singletary mixing in.

The New York Giants officially placed rookie running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and claimed defensive back Jarrick Bernard-Converse off waivers from the Cleveland Browns in a corresponding move, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Skattebo suffered a gruesome dislocation of his right ankle in the Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, ending what was looking like a very promising first year in the NFL for the first-year pro out of Arizona State. The 23-year-old finishes his 2025 campaign with 410 rushing yards and five rushing scores on 101 carries while adding 24 receptions for 207 yards and two touchdowns on 32 targets through the air in eight games (five starts). As of right now, it's unclear if the physical runner will be ready for the start of the 2026 season. In the meantime, Tyrone Tracy Jr. will take over lead-back duties in New York, with Devin Singletary also seeing an increase in playing time as the RB2.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that "all went well" with rookie running back Cam Skattebo's ankle surgery on Monday, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. "He's recovering. Obviously, he'll be missed. On the road to recovery," Daboll said. Skattebo suffered a gruesome-looking dislocated right ankle in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and had to be carted off the field. While there is no official timetable for the 23-year-old Arizona State product's return, he will miss the rest of his rookie season. It's a very disappointing end to 2025 for the fourth-round pick, who ran for 410 yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries while adding 24 catches for 207 yards and two more scores in his first eight games in the NFL. With Skattebo done for the rest of the year, Tyrone Tracy Jr. will be New York's lead back, with Devin Singletary elevating into RB2 duties.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 season after suffering a dislocated ankle in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a brutal blow for an up-and-coming Giants team. Skattebo was already off to a hot start in Philadelphia, handling three carries for 12 yards and catching one of his two targets for an 18-yard touchdown. The rookie out of Arizona State was having a remarkable rookie campaign to this point, recording 101 carries for 410 yards and catching 24 of 32 targets for 207 yards, in addition to seven total touchdowns. Skattebo's season will end with him averaging 16 PPR points per game, and he will be a tough player to replace for fantasy managers. Second-year back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is now expected to step back into the lead role for the Giants and should be a priority add off the waiver wire this week.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) will undergo surgery at a Philadelphia hospital on Sunday night. Skattebo suffered a dislocated ankle during the first half of Sunday's Week 8 loss against the Eagles. He was quickly ruled out and hospitalized after the gruesome-looking injury. The exact timetable for Skattebo's recovery is unclear, and we may not have full clarity until medical professionals can examine the rookie's injury internally during surgery. Nevertheless, he is headed for an extended absence and will likely miss the remainder of the 2025 season. Tyrone Tracy Jr. will take over as the Giants' No. 1 running back while Devin Singletary occupies the backup role.

He finished the game with 12 rushing yards plus an 18-yard touchdown reception. The rookie's season is likely over, pending an official diagnosis from medical professionals. If his injury is confirmed as season-ending, Tyrone Tracy Jr. will take over as the Giants' lead running back while Devin Singletary occupies the backup role.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles after suffering a serious-looking ankle injury. Skattebo had his lower leg placed in an air cast and was carted off the field. Before getting injured, Skattebo recorded 30 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on four total touches. With Skattebo sidelined for the remainder of Week 8 and potentially much longer, the Giants will turn to a backfield combination of Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary. Tracy Jr. had recorded 174 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 43 total touches across five games entering Week 8.

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) suffered a serious-looking ankle injury during his team's Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Skattebo had an air cast placed on his leg and was carted off the field. Assuming the rookie's day is done, he will finish Week 8 with 30 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on four total touches. With Skattebo likely out for the remainder of Week 8 and possibly much longer, the Giants will turn to the combination of Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary in the backfield. Tracy Jr. recorded 1,123 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns across 17 games in 2024, so he's capable of producing in a lead-back role.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is a confident start in Week 8, as he looks to repeat his dominant performance against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. Skattebo has been a fantasy workhorse since taking over the backfield, ranking as the 8th-ranked fantasy RB for the season while averaging 15.46 Fantasy Points per game (FPPG). In the Week 6 matchup against the Eagles, Skattebo exploded for 98 rushing yards on 19 carries and found the end zone three times, demonstrating his elite scoring upside. Though Philadelphia's defense allows an average of 23.39 points to the position (ranking 25th against fantasy RBs), its stout 3rd-ranked red zone defense could be a factor. Skattebo's high 53.4% timeshare and his red-zone usage, evidenced by his five rushing touchdowns, cement him as a must-start despite the Eagles looking for revenge.
Oct 24, 2025 6:36 PM EST
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo had 16 carries for 60 yards along with three catches for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-32 loss to the Broncos. Skattebo couldn't find a whole lot of running room against a stout Denver defense, but made up for some of it as a receiver. The rookie again maintained a firm lead in touches over Tyrone Tracy Jr., but he was more involved in this one, rushing for 46 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. Skattebo should continue to operate as the Giants' lead back and preferred option near the goal line and in the passing game, which bodes well for his fantasy value moving forward in an improving Giants offense.
Oct 20, 2025 9:24 AM EST
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo's incredible emergence makes him a must-start, albeit risky, low-end RB1/high-end RB2 for the tough road matchup in Denver. Skattebo, currently the 10th-ranked fantasy RB averaging 15.22 points per game, is coming off a massive 28 fantasy point performance where he rushed for 98 yards and three touchdowns against the Eagles. This week, his volume will be tested against the Broncos' elite defense, which ranks 4th against fantasy running backs, allowing only 17.47 fantasy points per game. Crucially, the Denver defense has been a red-zone wall, ranking 1st in the NFL by allowing a minuscule 28.6% touchdown rate and a league-low two rushing touchdowns all season, directly threatening Skattebo's primary source of his five touchdowns. Skattebo's immense workload and role near the goal line, however, keep his ceiling high despite the difficult on-paper matchup against a run defense allowing just 89 rushing yards per game.
Oct 18, 2025 2:17 AM EST
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo rushed 19 times for 98 yards and three touchdowns during Thursday's upset victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. He also caught each of his two targets, totaling 12 receiving yards. The rookie held onto his lead-back role despite Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) returning to action. Between his large volume, high efficiency, and nose for the end zone, Skattebo has proven that he deserves to be the bell-cow running back in New York. He has established himself as a potential fantasy football league-winner and should rank as a fringe top-12 running back against the Broncos in Week 7.
Oct 10, 2025 12:07 AM EST
According to a new story by Jordan Raanan of ESPN, the New York Giants view running back Cam Skattebo as both their top option of the present and the future. The rookie from Arizona State has received the lion's share of work with Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) out for the past couple weeks, but the team apparently views Skattebo as their preferred option for the near term. Fantasy managers have seen nice return on investment in Skattebo, especially in PPR formats, in which his 14 catches the past three games has paired nicely with 198 rushing yards and a touchdown. The split between the two backs will be worth watching, but it seems like Skattebo will carry the upper hand.
Oct 9, 2025 10:06 AM EST
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is a volatile RB2 for the Week 6 Thursday night matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, despite his recent workhorse usage. Skattebo, currently the RB17 in fantasy points per game (12.26 FPTS/G) on the season, has commanded a 66.7% timeshare in his last two games, recording 63 carries for 240 yards and two touchdowns, plus 18 receptions for 143 yards. The Eagles defense is a moderate run matchup, ranking 22nd by allowing 126.8 rushing yards per game and giving up four rushing touchdowns, yet they are a top-tier challenge near the goal line, boasting the 3rd best red-zone defense with a 42.9% touchdown rate. Furthermore, the Eagles have been generous to fantasy running backs, allowing 23.26 fantasy points per game (25th in the NFL), but the potential return of Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Skattebo's costly red-zone fumble last week temper expectations, making him a touchdown-dependent RB2/Flex play.
Oct 7, 2025 9:53 PM EST
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is set up for another high-volume workload against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. With Tyrone Tracy Jr. still sidelined, Skattebo has cemented his role as the team's workhorse, commanding a 70.8% timeshare last week and ranking as the RB20 on the season with an average of 11.97 fantasy points per game. He faces a Saints defense that allows the 24th-most fantasy points to running backs but has significant vulnerabilities that a high-volume back can exploit. New Orleans ranks 30th in the NFL in both points allowed per game (30.3) and red zone touchdown percentage (76.9%), setting the stage for Skattebo to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
Oct 4, 2025 1:11 AM EST
New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo recorded 90 yards from scrimmage on 27 total touches in his team's Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. It was the first full game for New York without running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder), who is facing a multi-week absence after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 3. As long as Tracy Jr. remains sidelined, Skattebo could be in line for a significant number of touches. Overall, the 23-year-old has logged 279 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 48 carries and 12 receptions through the first four games of his NFL career. Heading into a favorable matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5, Skattebo can likely be considered a must-start fantasy running back.
Sep 30, 2025 10:02 PM EST
New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo has emerged as the team's bell cow and enters a challenging Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers as a volume-based RB2. The Chargers' defense has been elite against running backs, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the position (14.57 FPPG) and boasting the NFL's best red zone defense with a 25% TD rate. Despite the tough matchup on paper, Skattebo has been a top-8 fantasy RB over the last two weeks, commanding a 52.7% timeshare and proving his versatility with eight receptions and two rushing touchdowns. While L.A. is stingy on touchdowns, they rank 24th in rushing yards allowed (92.3), meaning Skattebo's high-volume role should keep him productive.
Sep 27, 2025 1:15 AM EST
New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo is expected to see a larger workload on Sunday night when the Giants face the Kansas City Chiefs. In their Week 1 contest, the rookie running back was given a minimal role as he missed a majority of training camp and the preseason due to a hamstring injury. In this game, Skattebo ran the ball only two times for -3 yards. However, in Week 2, the Arizona State product took a much larger role, and even saw more rushing attempts than the presumed starter, Tyrone Tracy Jr. Skattebo. He took 11 carries for 45 yards and punched in his first career rushing touchdown. Given his larger role last week and expectation to see even more attempts in Week 3, Skattebo projects to be a viable flex option despite facing a tough Kansas City defense.
Sep 21, 2025 11:07 AM EST
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo enters Week 3 as a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option following his breakout performance against Dallas. Skattebo scored 12.9 fantasy points in Week 2, earning a 50% timeshare and critical snaps late in the game, indicating he may be taking over the backfield, especially with Tyrone Tracy Jr. nursing a calf injury. He faces a significant challenge against a stout Kansas City Chiefs run defense that has allowed only two rushing touchdowns all season. The Chiefs rank as the 6th-toughest defense against fantasy running backs, allowing just 14.7 points per game to the position, which places Skattebo firmly in the RB3/flex category despite his promising usage.
Sep 20, 2025 12:17 AM EST
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo rushed for 45 yards on 11 rushing attempts and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 40-37 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Skattebo broke off a 24-year run in the fourth quarter, which was the longest run of the day for the Giants. He later punched it in for his first career touchdown. Skattebo outpaced Tyrone Tracy Jr. 11 to five in rushing attempts on Sunday and could have earned more touches with his great performance against Dallas. Skattebo will look to build on Sunday's performance in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Giants' rookie RB is only rostered in 58% of leagues and is worth picking up for fantasy teams needing help at running back.
