Latest takes
“Everyone hopes that Skattebo can stay healthy after missing over half is rookie season with a gruesome ankle injury. Yet, the star running back recently said he won’t change his playing style.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 26“Cam Skattebo (RB – NYG) A notable free agent addition to this backfield this offseason raises real questions about confidence in Skattebo’s ability to stay healthy following a serious injury last year, an open dislocation and tibia fracture with significant ligament damage that required emergency surgery.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 23“Round 5: Cam Skattebo (RB – NYG) From Weeks 1-8, Cam Skattebo handled 58% of the Giants’ running back carries.”

“Running Backs Cam Skattebo (RB – NYG) It feels like I’ve spent most of the offseason sitting in the conductor’s seat aboard the Cam Skattebo express hype train.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 19“Obviously, for this to happen, Cam Skattebo would need to avoid the injury bug and play a full season. Tough ask with his running style. But when he was on the field, he showed elite metrics.”
Kyle Zeigler· Aug 18“was productive taking over as New York’s starting running back when Cam Skattebo suffered a season-ending injury in Week 8.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 10“When given an opportunity to handle the early-down work for Big Blue last season, Skattebo finished as an RB1 in three of five weeks. Not only does he have a nose for the end zone and constantly runs through arm tackles, he is also an adept receiver, and one of Jaxson Dart ‘s best friends.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 9“Pick 4.03 – Cam Skattebo (RB – NYG) Hopefully, Skattebo can stay healthy after suffering a gruesome ankle injury last year. The former Arizona State star was outstanding for fantasy players when healthy, ranking as the RB6 from Week 2 through Week 7, averaging 18.8 touches for 96.3 scrimmage yards, a touchdown, and 17.4 PPR fantasy points per game, despite only playing an average of 64.2% of the snaps during the stretch. Skattebo could have a breakout season, especially if Malik Nabers isn’t 100% healthy to start the year.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 9“5 | Diff: +2 The human battering ram known as Cam Skattebo made waves in his rookie season before being sidelined by a horrible ankle/fibula fracture that also ruptured his deltoid ligament in Week 8 of last season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5“But Skattebo is a back who has a reckless playing style, which makes me concerned that he’s going to be one of those players who is always dealing with a lingering injury. With Malik Nabers also recovering from a torn ACL and Matt Nagy calling plays, I’m skeptical about this Giants offense.”
Frank Ammirante· Jul 27“One thing we do know is that as long as Cam Skattebo and Jaxson Dart can stay healthy, they’ll burn bright for fantasy.”
Ellis Johnson· Jul 23“With an expert consensus ranking (ECR) of RB19, Skattebo showed enough to justify being drafted in the dead zone and has RB1 upside if healthy.”
Kyle Zeigler· Jul 20“While Skattebo proved to be nothing if not effective, ranking near the top of the NFL in rushing touchdowns and first downs per rush over the first two months of the season, his efficiency left room for improvement. According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, Skattebo's 4.1 yards per carry and 3.0 yards after contact were fairly average stats, and he only produced one carry of over 20 yards.”
Ely Allen· Jul 11“Skattebo was a dedicated bell-cow back in his final year of college, ending the Sun Devils' regular season with two games in which he produced 324 rushing yards and six touchdowns. In the Big 12 Championship, Skattebo stole the show with 170 yards on the ground and three total touchdowns, and when the team was eliminated in the playoffs, it was in spite of Skattebo's 148 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, and 42-yard touchdown pass.”
Ely Allen· Jul 11“New head coach John Harbaugh (BAL) has committed to a physical run game, and further strengthened that commitment by drafting Francis Mauigoa in the first round of the draft. Skattebo only has Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary to worry about stealing carries, which should be a non-issue.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 10
“I think it’s worth paying up at tight end this year, and I’m willing to take Brock Bowers anywhere in the back half of the second round in 12-team drafts.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 29“There are great expectations for Brock Bowers in his third NFL season following an injury-plagued Year 2. Bowers had five catches for 103 yards in the Raiders’ 2025 season opener against the Patriots, but he sustained a PCL injury and bone bruise to his left knee in that game, was clearly hampered over his next three games (with under 50 receiving yards in each) and was shut down for three games.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 29“Brock Bowers (TE – LV) & Trey McBride (TE – ARI) Whether you prefer Brock Bowers or Trey McBride doesn’t really matter. Neither should be drafted this high. Last season, McBride averaged 18.6 PPR points per game, and Bowers averaged 15.5 in 2024, the better season of his two years in the NFL.”

“Brock Bowers (TE – LV) Hopefully, Bowers stays healthy after missing five games because of injury in 2025. However, he was still a fantasy star when on the field, ranking as the TE2 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 14.7 PPR fantasy points per game.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 27“The same holds true for tight end, where half of the teams will be fielding Brock Bowers , Trey McBride , Colston Loveland or Tyler Warren .”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 27“However, he was still a fantasy star when on the field, ranking as the TE2 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 14.7 PPR fantasy points per game. Despite the awful offense and playing in five fewer games, Bowers had more receiving touchdowns last year than as a rookie (seven vs. five).”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 26“With Klint Kubiak in town, Fernando Mendoza or Kirk Cousins at the helm, a healthy Brock Bowers , and improved blocking up front, Jeanty could be poised to post a strong RB1 season in his second season. After the injury scare over the weekend concerning Ashton Jeanty , it was believed that Mike Washington Jr. would go screaming up the draft boards.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 25“During his three seasons in Baltimore, Mark Andrews remained a major part of the offense: 2025 : 16th among tight ends in fantasy points; 13th in touchdowns 2024 : 5th among tight ends in fantasy points; 1st in touchdowns 2023 : 15th among tight ends in fantasy points; 2nd in touchdowns Before Baltimore, Monken spent three seasons at Georgia, where he coached Brock Bowers. In 2021 and 2022, Bowers posted at least 850+ receiving yards in each season and combined for 20 receiving touchdowns.”
Kurt Blakeway· Aug 25“After all, TE1 Brock Bowers goes around the mid-2nd round, after selecting approximately 18 RBs and WRs. If we’re confident Bowers finishes as the overall TE1, that could make sense. But we also know that around half of those RBs and WRs will bust, which means plenty of candidates can still score 250 at those positions.”
Dan Williamson· Aug 24“Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty are unique, as they can definitely coexist. Jeanty will run a bunch and catch a lot of passes, while Bowers will have wide receiver-esque production in this offense, with a target share that could reach 30%.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 23“There are three tight ends guaranteed to land in the first four rounds: Brock Bowers , Trey McBride , and Colston Loveland .”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 22“Brock Bowers (TE – LV) Going around the 21st overall pick, Bowers has real belief behind him as a potential consensus first-round pick a year from now.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 22“A fully healthy Brock Bowers with improved quarterback play, an improved offensive line and really no new weapons to compete with means the possibility of a 30% target share.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 21“They also have Brock Bowers fully healthy, which is a massive addition to the offense as a whole.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 19“He’s the one player I wouldn’t want to miss out on, as he’ll likely be the TE1 this season if he can stay healthy. Bowers will be the No. 1 receiver for this Raiders offense led by Kirk Cousins and/or Fernando Mendoza .”
