Giants Rookie Cam Skattebo Poised for Bigger Workload Against Chiefs

Coaches still frame the backfield as a game-by-game committee.

Overview

  • Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka said Sept. 18 the rookie will get more opportunities after impressing with aggressive, downhill runs.
  • In Week 2, Skattebo logged a team-high 11 carries for 45 yards, scored his first NFL rushing touchdown, and added two catches for 14 yards.
  • He ripped a 24-yard run to the Cowboys’ 1-yard line before punching in the score on the next play.
  • Brian Daboll reiterated a three-back approach with touches determined by who is performing best, with Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary also in the mix.
  • Analysts project RB3 viability for Week 3 at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night, noting a tougher matchup against a Chiefs defense that has limited opposing backs through two weeks.
