Cam Skattebo
With Devin Singletary now a healthy scratch, Skattebo has become the Giants' clear workload leader, posting 80% snap shares, mid-60s to 69% route-running rates, and volume in the high teens to low 20s touches. He's not a pure passing-down specialist yet, but his receiving numbers have climbed back toward his rookie-year levels, making him a weekly starter whose ceiling is still tethered to erratic Giants quarterback play.
Weeks 1-2 coverage (Dynasty Nerds, Fantasy Focus Football, Rotoworld, The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast) was skeptical, pointing to thin receiving work and Najee Harris stealing goal-line snaps as real red flags. That flipped hard once Singletary got scratched: Establish The Run publicly reversed its earlier sell call after his route share jumped to 53% then 69%, while Fantasy Footballers and RotoWire moved him to buy with top-15 upside. Not everyone's sold — Yahoo's Matt Harmon and FantasyPros' Debro still cap his ceiling given Najee Harris's role and Jackson Dart's absence, and Fantasy Life is now debating selling high purely because of Giants QB chaos.
The line: Start him as a volume-driven RB2 now, but don't overpay in trades until the Giants' quarterback situation stabilizes.
