Cam Skattebo

Tyrone Tracy Jr. continues to carve out designated pass-down work in practice, although Cam Skattebo remains the primary back following a 40.7% College Dominator Rating (94th percentile). Beat reporters project a potential 1-A/1-B split, though Skattebo’s early-down lock and proven passing game utility, evidenced by his 4.0 targets per game in 2025, puts him well ahead of Tracy in projected Opportunity Share.

Powered by a 130.0 Athleticism Score (92nd percentile), Tracy is the ideal Zero RB target with weekly FLEX appeal as a featured member of the Giants beleaguered receiving corps and immense contingent value if Skattebo missing games. Tracy’s satellite role will also shave down Skattebo’s target share, suppressing his weekly ceiling. The Giants are going into 2026 with a run-first identity and this target-rich backfield is a great source of ADP-adjusted fantasy production. Draft both Skattebo and Tracy with confidence in all fantasy football formats.

Cam Skattebo exited Friday’s practice with an apparent left hamstring strain following a hit from linebacker Arvell Reese. Still working back from a right ankle dislocation, the 80th-percentile BMI back possesses an elite 40.7-percent College Dominator Rating (94th percentile) and a 14.4-percent College Target Share (95th percentile).

Expect a brief rehab window to interrupt his camp reps before he fully ramps back up ahead of Week 1. Skattebo is PlayerProfiler’s RB16 for 2026 PPR fantasy football leagues.

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.

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.
