Skattebo is listed as the Giants' starting running back and will take the first snap.

Rookie RB who showed promise in Year 1; his Year 2 development is critical to Giants' 2026 outlook and Harbaugh's ability to maximize the young core's ceiling. Could help make Giants a surprise team if he and Malik Nabers perform as hoped.PositiveRoleSep 5, 2026
Skattebo is returning from injury with the regular-season opener against the Dallas Cowboys less than two weeks away. The source notes that the attention will primarily be on how he performs in his return from injury, and if Skattebo can pick up from where he left off last season, any offseason or preseason distractions will be a minor blip in the grander scheme of things. Playing in New York's biggest media market magnifies missteps, but strong performance in Week 1 can reset the narrative.PositiveRoleSep 4, 2026
Skattebo addressed social media rumors of a rift with Giants head coach John Harbaugh, clarifying that a sideline conversation during the preseason game was serious but not negative. Skattebo praised Harbaugh's coaching culture emphasizing hard practice, full-pads work, and daily communication, stating 'Me and him talk every single day. There's no bad blood between us.'

Running back Cam Skattebo is a core offensive piece for the Giants' 2026 breakout potential. The source emphasizes that his health is critical to the team's offensive ceiling; if Dart, Thomas, Nabers, and Skattebo remain healthy, the Giants' offense—which ranked 22nd in 2025—could take a massive leap forward. The source projects significant upside if all four offensive standouts stay on the field and live up to expectations.NegativeInjuryAug 25, 2026

Skattebo is working to refine his running style post-injury, recognizing the need to be smarter about contact avoidance while maintaining the physicality that defines his game. Head coach John Harbaugh values Skattebo's physical downhill running style and its effect on the offensive line, but Skattebo is learning to add lateral evasion to his toolkit—taking steps to avoid defenders rather than running through them—to stay healthy and successful. Skattebo stated he's adding these maneuvers to his bag of tools to ensure longevity.PositiveInjuryAug 19, 2026
Skattebo returned to game action in the Giants' preseason opener against Minnesota and reported feeling great post-injury. He started the game and posted 19 yards on 4 carries, displaying the pinballing physicality of his rookie season despite the gruesome ankle injury that ended 2024. The source notes rehab was reported to be relatively straightforward early on, and Skattebo confirmed minor details to clean up in footwork but no serious lingering issues; he emphasized understanding the difference between 'hurt' and 'injured' and being smart about when to push versus draw back during recovery.PositiveProjectionAug 19, 2026

Like Dart, Skattebo's aggressive play style raises durability concerns. The source notes there is some risk here given his injury history and playing style, which is a factor in evaluating his mid-range RB2 price.PositiveProjectionAug 18, 2026
Skattebo appears fully recovered from gruesome injuries that ended his rookie campaign. He quickly became a fan favorite with his ability to make plays, toughness, and nose for the end zone, hitting paydirt seven times in eight games played. His skillset is ideal for a three-down role: he can handle early-down rushing work, is a good pass catcher, is strong in short-yardage, and can pass block. Current ECR of 50 (RB19) has him going as a mid-range RB2 around the 4/5 turn. The source considers this fair value for one of the better RB2 options given the upside and potential three-down role.PositiveRoleAug 18, 2026
Skattebo is back healthy and picked up five yards on a run play behind quality blocks from Patrick Ricard, Chris Manhertz, Jermaine Eluemunor, and Jon Runyan Jr. The source expresses satisfaction with Skattebo's return to health, suggesting he will be part of the Giants' running back rotation in Greg Roman's run-heavy offense.PositiveRoleAug 17, 2026
