While the New York Giants front office reportedly explored high-capital additions like Arizona Cardinals rookie Jeremiyah Love, current backfield staples Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy remain positioned to command the workload. Skattebo is the “People’s Running Back” and brings a strong all-purpose profile anchored by a 40.7-percent College Dominator Rating (94th percentile) and a 14.4-percent College Target Share (95th percentile), offering substantial upside if his recovery from last season’s ankle injury stays on track.
Reading between the lines, Duggan Skattebo is suggesting that Skattebo is not “elite” enough for the Giants front office, which is mildly concerning. Regardless, a potential veteran signing like free agent Najee Harris would simply serve as an RB3 contingency, leaving Skattebo’s path toward an RB2 finish largely intact. New York will be run-heavy, making Skattebo a nice value in the fourth round of fantasy drafts.
A somewhat forgotten man of the 2026 offseason, New York ...
Running back Devin Singletary was the only New York Giants ...
If he's healthy, New York Giants running back Devin ...
Cam Skattebo is already logging 11-on-11 reps and tracking toward a full training camp workload after a fractured ankle cut his rookie campaign short. Before the injury, he commanded a 13.1-percent Target Share and averaged 16.0 Fantasy Points Per Game, reinforcing his status as a true workhorse.
With Skattebo operating as a bellcow, Tyrone Tracy is fighting to secure a committee role. The Giants avoided adding backfield competition this offseason, leaving the door open for Tracy to leverage his 10.5-percent target share as a satellite back with massive contingent upside. Any reduction in Tracy’s touches adds volume for Skattebo, who generated 3.84 yards created per touch during his rookie campaign. Skattebo is a smash in all formats as one of the most attainable workhorse backs in fantasy football.
Cam Skattebo returned to 11-on-11 reps at minicamp for the first time since a Week 8 ankle fracture ended his stellar rookie season. Before going down, he delivered an elite 3.84 Yards Created Per Touch and a +10.6 Production Premium, making it clear he belongs in this league.
With zero running backs drafted by New York to challenge him, Skattebo is poised to reclaim lead back duties and build on his 16.0 Fantasy Points Per Game from a year ago. He is a smash in all formats as the Giants will be run-first until Malik Nabers is fully recovered.
Nice try. Cam Skattebo is battling the mental hurdle of trusting his surgically repaired ankle, opening a window of opportunity for Tyrone Tracy to seize the primary role in John Harbaugh’s new-look, ground-and-pound Giants attack.
Skattebo posted solid efficiency metrics during his rookie campaign, and the Giants did not select a running back in the NFL Draft. Expect New York to bring their star sophomore RB along slowly this summer. Tracy is in-line to command high-value touches early on, leaving Devin Singletary as a mere rotational placeholder. With both Malik Nabers and Skattebo recovering from devastating lower body injuries, it is safe to fade the Giants offense in 2026, and then buy the dip on Nabers and Skattebo in fantasy football dynasty leagues.
The New York Giants couldn’t get much going on offense but running back Devin Singletary cleared over 100 scrimmage yards and punched in a score. Singletary ran efficiently, average 5.7 yards on 12 carries while adding 34 receiving yards.
Jaxson Dart returned from a concussion but struggled to get much going through the air, throwing for just 139 yards and one score. Darius Slayton was the Giants top receiver, catching just two passes but they went for 42 yards and a touchdown. Wan’Dale Robinson caught seven balls but only gained 34 yards.
Dart is going to have the normal rookie struggles but has already shown his ceiling this season, Robinson has emerged as a PPR maven, Slayton is the same boom or bust wide receiver he’s always been and this backfield looks like it’s going to be an even split between Singletary and Tyrone Tracy.

On Wednesday and Thursday, Kaleb Johnson had visits with the New York Giants and Cincinnati, respectively, in preparation for the 2025 NFL Draft. The Big Ten Running Back of the Year and consensus All-American will assuredly have more “top-30” visits in the coming week.
The Giants have made it no secret that they are entertaining the idea of a big-ticket running back during the draft as a possible upgrade from starter Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary. New York won’t likely spend their No. 3 overall pick on a running back, but they do pick again at No.34. Projected as an early Day 2 pick, he should still be on the board when the Giants select second in Round 2.
Cincinnati has rapidly become a wildcard in the draft by way of dipping their toes in the pool with visits from TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins (OSU) in addition to welcoming in Johnson on Thursday. The Bengals own the 49th overall pick (coming in Round 2) and Johnson will likely be off the board, barring a trade-up scenario for Cincinnati.
Johnson rushed for 1,537 yards and 21 touchdowns at Iowa in 2024 alone and has rapidly become a hot name to watch in an already talented draft class. He’s hoping to take his electric running style and stellar pass protection to a starting role in the league.
