Overview
- In Thursday Night Football at MetLife Stadium, Cam Skattebo logged a career-high 77% snap rate, carried 18 times for 78 yards and scored two touchdowns in a 24-21 loss to Washington.
- After the game Skattebo publicly suggested his costly Week 5 overtime fumble against the Commanders may have reduced coaches’ trust and limited late-game touches in the rematch.
- Earlier this season Skattebo had multiple fumbles, was held to zero carries in a Week 6 game, and the Giants have shuffled the backfield while cutting Najee Harris and placing Tyrone Tracy Jr. on injured reserve.
- PFF said the Week 10 usage raises Skattebo’s short-term fantasy value but warned the workload increases injury risk and may not persist once injured players return.
- The key things to watch next are whether coaches change late-game play-calling for Skattebo, whether Tracy returns from IR, and how the Giants manage ball security under a thin running-back group.
