While John Harbaugh is “running the show” in New York and views Love as a versatile offensive weapon, the Giants are also considering a “perfect scenario” trade-down into the 6-10 range to target Ohio State defenders Caleb Downs or Sonny Styles. Though, Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. offer an effective 1-2 punch at running back, New York has experience squandering premium draft capital on the RB position in the Top-5.
Raanan also reported that multiple NFL teams have Love as “their top graded player,” though not necessarily No. 1 on their big board.
Meanwhile, SNY’s Connor Hughes stated “Don’t be surprised,” if Arizona drafts Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love. Despite a backfield already crowded with veterans like James Conner and Tyler Allgeier, the Cardinals may still select Jeremiyah Love at No. 3 as the best player available, potentially snatching him away from other interested suitors like the Titans and Giants. If Arizona pulls the trigger on the Notre Dame star, Love is projected to eventually outshine his teammates and emerge as the team’s undisputed lead running back.
The bottom line is NFL’s love is real for Love. He is making a real push for the RB3 spot in fantasy football dynasty league rankings.

The New York Giants standout rookie running back Cam Skattebo will miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury. Skattebo suffered the injury in their week eight matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Skattebo was a bright spot for the Giants, with over 600 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns. The fourth round pick had taken over the lead role in the New York backfield, now Tyrone Tracy finds himself at the top of the depth chart.
With Skattebo done for the rest of the year Tracy becomes a priority add for fantasy managers. In 2024 Tracy put up over 1,100 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns.

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.

Running back and projected first-round pick Omarion Hampton visited with the Giants on Thursday, one day after he met with the Steelers in Pittsburgh. New York is unlikely to spend the No. 3 overall pick on Hampton, but they pick again at No. 34. If the running back is still on the board, they’d consider him a steal at that point. A trade-up to re-enter Round 1 is a possibility if the Giants think that highly of him and would be tempted by the fifth-year option that accompanies first-round talent. The team is doing its homework on running backs, possibly for an upgrade from Tyrone Tracy.
He spent time with the Steelers on Wednesday, and Pittsburgh currently holds the 21st-overall selection. They added Kenneth Gainwell (PHI) and Evan Hull (IND) in free agency, but there are questions as to whether Jaylen Warren can carry the full workload on a run-first team.
Hampton is coming off a three-year career at UNC, where he racked up 3,565 yards on the ground and 73 catches for an additional 635 yards through the air. Hampton found his way into the endzone a whopping 40 times over those seasons and was a two-time All-American.

If you are currently rostering running back Tyrone Tracy now is a good time to sell your shares. There are reports of the New York Giants doing their homework on this year’s running back class. Tracy was a 5th round pick in last year’s draft. He did have decent numbers while putting up 839 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns on the ground. He also contributed to the receiving game as well having 38 catches for 284 yards and one score.
With the Giants doing their due diligence now is the best time to get out on Tracy. In dynasty he could very well be left behind, since he doesn’t have the draft capital from the previous year. Quinshon Judkins, Ollie Gordon, and Kaleb Johnson made the Giants Top 30 visits. Each one of these running backs spells trouble for Tracy.
Fantasy gamers run the risk of sweating through the Giants selecting a running back in the NFL Draft. The best route to take is to sell now before it is too late.

The Giants lost to the Falcons 34-7 Sunday and are on their way to the number one pick in the NFL Draft. Drew Lock was the starting QB in this one, and threw two pick-sixes to the Falcons defense. Lock did throw a TD pass to his own running back, Tyrone Tracy Jr., who had a nice toe-tap catch in the back of the end zone. Tracy ended the day with 11 touches for 69 total yards and the TD.
Malik Nabers was the target leader for the Giants with 14 looks, but caught only seven for 68 yards and no TD. Wan’Dale Robinson saw 12 targets, but caught only seven for 62 scoreless yards. It’s hard to see the upside in the Giants’ offense with Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito under center, save for Nabers as a PPR flex play.
