The source identifies Cam Skattebo as a dual-threat option alongside Jaxson Dart in Greg Roman's Giants offense, which features a similar scheme to the 49ers. The Rams will need to slow down this dual-threat approach and force Dart to win the game through the air.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is highlighted by the source as part of an 'exciting young team to watch' that 'could make a run back to the postseason,' with the source imagining a conversation between head coach John Harbaugh and Skattebo, suggesting optimism about his role and the team's trajectory.

The source notes that Cam Skattebo had a strong performance against the Cowboys defense in Week 1, with the Dallas defense making him 'look like John Riggins,' a reference to the legendary running back's physical dominance. This indicates Skattebo exploited the Cowboys' defensive communication and physicality issues in their season opener.

Skattebo was phased out of the passing game with 0% target share in Week 1 after logging 15% target share as a rookie, with Devin Singletary taking over; Skattebo will need significant TD volume to justify his draft capital if this trend continues.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo made contributions to the Week 1 victory over the Cowboys as part of the young offensive trio alongside Jaxson Dart and Malik Nabers. The source identifies this trio as the offensive catalyst in the 28-20 win, with Skattebo's involvement in the game plan contributing to the franchise's successful start under John Harbaugh.

Skattebo is upgraded for Week 2 at Rams despite being a road dog; he impressed last year in eight games as a rookie (617 yards, 7 TDs) and was especially remarkable in his four full starts (398 yards, 4 TDs) before an ankle injury cut his season short. In Week 1, Skattebo had 81 yards and 1 TD on 18 carries. He has circumstantial edges: HC John Harbaugh is great on the road (90-64-6 ATS, 13.7% ROI) and as a dog of at least +3 (42-25-3 ATS, 21.1% ROI); the Rams could be exhausted after traveling almost 16,000 miles to Australia and back; EDGE Myles Garrett (knee, IR) is out; SS Kamren Curl (ankle) exited Week 1 with an injury; and DT Aaron Donald (rest) could be rusty in his first game in over two years.

He benefited from diverse and physical run schemes that used pre-snap motion to create easier angles for blockers. Skattebo's ability to operate in tackle-over formations and heavy personnel packages (21/12/13) aligns perfectly with the Giants' offensive philosophy and coaching staff's approach.
