Cam Skattebo's Fumble Issues Could Cost Him Playing Time
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo could see a reduced role in the backfield during Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Head coach John Harbaugh was recently asked if the team would need to make adjustments following the fumbling issues. Harbaugh responded by saying, yes he believes it has reached that point. Skattebo rushed 13 times for 59 yards during last week's tie with the Washington Commanders. He also lost a fumble, which could've cost the team a potential game-winning field goal. Skattebo has four fumbles through the first five games. Fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if Skattebo loses some touches this weekend.

Najee Harris the Handcuff to Roster in New York?
New York Giants running back Najee Harris has just 97 rushing yards through five games this season, but his modest volume in a depth role has allowed him to emerge as a potential handcuff option ahead of Tyrone Tracy Jr. Right now, Cam Skattebo is the only Giants running back worth starting in fantasy football. However, if anything were to happen to him, we're increasingly confident that New York would turn to Harris to lead the backfield, rather than Tyrone Tracy Jr. or Devin Singletary. After all, Harris has 23 carries over his last three games, while Tracy has just five and Singletary hasn't played since Week 2. Neither Harris nor Tracy has been particularly efficient on the ground this year, but at least the former has handled modest volume in the backup role. He also has significantly more experience operating as a lead back than Tracy, so if necessary, the transition from Skattebo to Harris wouldn't be too complicated. As a result of stepping into the handcuff role, Harris is now worth consideration as a stash in deeper 12+ team leagues, especially for managers who already have Skattebo on their roster.

Cam Skattebo Headed for an "Extremely Heavy Workload" in Rain
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is expected to handle an "extremely heavy workload" in Week 5 against the Washington Commanders, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Garafolo noted that heavy rain is expected to fall throughout this game, prompting the Giants to place more emphasis on their rushing attack, led by Skattebo. We're confident that the young, physical running back can handle the large role, as he has emerged as a potential every-down weapon for the Giants. After all, he logged 23 touches back in Week 3 and another 19 touches last Sunday. His average of 3.5 yards per carry isn't great, but if he can find the end zone or continue to carve out a sizable receiving role, he'll be able to contribute as a high-end RB2 in fantasy football.

Najee Harris Remains a Handcuff Against Commanders
New York Giants running back Najee Harris had nine carries for 30 yards in the 36-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Despite an increased workload over the last two weeks, Harris fumbled in the fourth quarter and did not receive another touch after the mistake. Since Week 3, Harris has played 20% of snaps, starter Cam Skattebo 69%, and third-string Tyrone Tracy Jr. 9%. They face a difficult test against the Washington Commanders, who have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. With Skattebo (shoulder) off the injury report, Harris should remain out of fantasy lineups as a handcuff until he earns a larger role.

Cam Skattebo Faces Tough Commanders Run Defense
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (shoulder) is off the injury report and set to play against the division-rival Washington Commanders. After being limited in Wednesday and Thursday's practices, Skattebo was a full participant on Friday and is set to play in Week 5. In four games, he has 68 carries for 235 yards and one touchdown, plus eight receptions for 67 yards. The second-year back has been the team's workhorse, averaging 65% of snaps this season. However, his lack of efficiency has been a problem, and against the Commanders' run defense, which has allowed the fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, he could have issues again. Fantasy managers can start Skattebo as a low-end RB2, though he's likely to be touchdown-dependent against a stout Washington run defense.

Cam Skattebo Will Play in Week 5
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders, Dan Salomone of the team's official website reports. Skattebo was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week while he nurses a shoulder injury. The second-year back is dealing with a little muscle tightness in his shoulder, but that won't stop him from suiting up for this weekend. He'll continue to operate as the workhorse back as he has recorded 118 yards on 38 carries over the last two games. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable plugging him in as a solid RB2 play against the Commanders this weekend.

Cam Skattebo Practices Without Non-Contact Jersey Thursday
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (shoulder) was no longer wearing a red non-contact jersey at Thursday's practice, according to Art Stapleton. Skattebo wore the jersey Wednesday and was officially listed as limited, so the change is encouraging ahead of Sunday's matchup with Washington. It remains to be seen how much work he actually handled Thursday. The Giants have leaned heavily on Skattebo through four games, giving him at least 18 carries in three contests. He hasn't done much with that volume, averaging 3.5 yards per carry on 68 attempts, but has remained the clear lead back. Skattebo also has eight receptions for 67 yards this season. His workload has been a big part of his fantasy appeal despite the modest rushing numbers, making his shoulder worth monitoring. Thursday's official practice report should give a better indication of where things stand. UPDATE: Skattebo was limited in practice again on Thursday.

Cam Skattebo in a Non-Contact Jersey on Wednesday
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (undisclosed) was participating in a red non-contact jersey during practice on Wednesday, according to Art Stapleton of The North Jersey Bergen Record. It is unclear what injury Skattebo is dealing with, but we will pass along any details when they become available. Because he appears to at least be practicing on a limited basis in the team's first practice of the week, Skattebo should be available this weekend with the Giants traveling to Washington to face the division-rival Commanders on Sunday. The 24-year-old former fourth-rounder from Arizona State had 18 carries in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Arizona Cardinals, but it led to just 58 rushing yards. He added one catch for eight yards. Skattebo is averaging an underwhelming 3.5 yards per carry and has just one touchdown through four games in his sophomore season, but he has had at least 18 carries in three of the four games, with his volume as New York's RB1 giving him RB2 value in fantasy football leagues. He already has eight catches for 67 yards as well. UPDATE: Skattebo was officially limited in Wednesday's practice.

Najee Harris Has Emerged as the Clear Handcuff to Roster in New York
Across three games so far in 2026, New York Giants running back Najee Harris has recorded 22 carries for 88 yards and has yet to earn a single target as a receiver out of the backfield. Harris' path to consistent production in New York is blocked by the presence of Giants RB1 Cam Skattebo. As long as Skattebo remains healthy, he profiles as a three-down workhorse who should see the majority of the Giants' high-value touches. However, Skattebo's physical running style could eventually result in him getting injured. Harris appears to have established himself as the clear RB2 in New York, as fellow reserve running backs Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary have combined for just two touches over the last two weeks. In deeper league formats, fantasy managers may want to consider targeting Harris on the waiver wire for his handcuff upside.

Cam Skattebo Fined for Illegal Helmet Contact Following Week 3
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo was fined an undisclosed amount by the NFL for "illegal helmet contact on a running play" during Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. The play in question was a rushing attempt that went for a short gain. Skattebo lowered his helmet into Titans linebacker Cedric Gray to break his tackle and fight for extra yardage. Later, a viral video showed that the Giants decal on Skattebo's helmet had fallen off because it had endured so much contact. It will be interesting to see whether officials begin penalizing Skattebo for using his helmet to create contact. In the meantime, fantasy managers will continue to appreciate the second-year back for fighting for every extra yard.

Najee Harris' Usage Worth Monitoring in Week 4
New York Giants running back Najee Harris had nine carries for 52 yards in the 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. With running back Devin Singletary a healthy scratch in Week 3, Harris saw an expanded role, playing 21% of the snaps and becoming the clear backup to starter Cam Skattebo. While Skattebo had 23 touches against the Titans, he was inefficient, averaging 3.0 yards per carry compared to Harris' 5.8. This could be an interesting backfield to watch in Week 4 to see if Harris could cut into Skattebo's massive workload. They face an Arizona Cardinals defense that has allowed the fifth-most rushing yards in 2026 and was among the worst in the NFL in 2025. While he is not yet a startable option in fantasy leagues, his workload will be one to monitor closely in Week 4.

Cam Skattebo Set for Another Heavy Workload Against Cardinals
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo saw a significant increase in usage in Week 3. With Devin Singletary a healthy scratch, Skattebo had 20 carries for 60 yards and added 40 yards on three receptions in the 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. The second-year back played 76% of snaps and 62% of routes, both major improvements over his first two games. While Najee Harris produced as the RB2 with Singletary out, Skattebo saw snaps on passing downs and posted his best receiving output of the season. He faces an Arizona Cardinals defense that has allowed the fifth-most rushing yards in 2026 and was among the worst in the NFL in 2025. With his increased workload and pass-game role, Skattebo is a high-end RB2 in Week 4.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Cleared to Play in Week 4
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. will head into Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals injury-free after a full practice Friday. The third-year back out of Purdue was bothered by a knee issue that forced him to miss Wednesday's practice. However, he upgraded his participation each of the next two days as the team preps for the visiting Cardinals. Following a subpar preseason performance, Tracy has fallen out of favor with the Giants' coaching staff, totaling three carries for 17 yards across four snaps. He appears to be a distant fourth option behind backfield mates Najee Harris, Cam Skattebo, and Devin Singletary, and can be safely avoided by fantasy managers in all formats.

Cam Skattebo Emerging as the Engine of Giants' Offense
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo appears to be a major factor in keeping the offense on track as the team searches for answers at the quarterback position following the season-ending knee injury to Jaxson Dart (knee). With Jameis Winston under center in a narrow Week 3 win over the Titans, Skattebo saw his heaviest involvement of the young season. In a game for which Devin Singletary was made a healthy inactive, Skattebo carried the ball 20 times and added three catches for his first 100-yard game of the year. The Giants have since traded for former first-round pick J.J. McCarthy, who is expected to push Winston for the starting job, but in a John Harbaugh offense that ranked as the most run-heavy in the league in his final season in Baltimore, Skattebo figures to remain the engine of the offense, and he is RotoBaller's RB20 ahead of a Week 4 matchup with the Cardinals.

Najee Harris Earns Primary Backup Gig
New York Giants running back Najee Harris was effective on the ground during the Week 3 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Harris made his team debut in Week 2, but he saw more involvement in the offense this past weekend. Harris rushed the ball nine times for 52 yards in the win. The veteran back has quickly pushed his way to being the primary backup behind Cam Skattebo in this offense. His role figures continue to grow as he spends more time with this team. Fantasy managers should consider Harris as the primary handcuff to Skattebo right now. He could be worth stashing in deep leagues, but he probably doesn't have standalone value while Skattebo is healthy.
