Cam Skattebo
vs Davante Adams

“Skattebo’s volume has been consistent, with just over 16 carries and 58.8 rushing yards per game. He’s picking up first-down runs at a high rate, ranking 14th in first-down runs and 16th in yards after contact per attempt among 35 qualifying running backs, per the Fantasy Points Data Suite. Given the matchup and workload, start Skattebo as a high-end RB2, with the potential to crack the top 12 at the position for the first time this season.”

“For most players, that would make him a DROP NOW candidate, but in this instance, Skattebo is hinting that he was being punished for fumbles. Now that the punishment is over, and Najee Harris is being cut, Skattebo has one less player to compete with for carries as he heads back into the lead role in New York. Offer owners players who might have waning carries like Emanuel Wilson or Braelon Allen .” – Adam Dove ( The Fantasy Couriers )”

“Skattebo played just six snaps in the Giants’ 34-27 loss to the Saints on Sunday, recording zero carries and zero targets . This came just one week after his costly fumble in New York’s 27-27 tie against the Commanders, which apparently was enough to send him straight to the fantasy football doghouse. And look, I get it.”

“It was reported early in the morning that the backfield would be split up differently, and Skattebo ultimately played six snaps, ran two routes and had zero targets and zero carries. Gamers shouldn’t cut him in 12-team leagues or larger yet, and holding him in 10-team leagues is acceptable, too. However, Skattebo must be glued to the bench until there is evidence that he’s escaped John Harbaugh’s doghouse.”

“Skattebo has averaged 3.6 yards per carry through five games and has just 1 touchdown. If Harris gets more work, this will push Skattebo down into Flex consideration.”

“Skattebo’s production has been unimpressive this season with just 3.63 yards per carry and one touchdown. Luckily for Skattebo, he’s not getting sniped at the goal line. The Giants are last in the league in rushing touchdowns, with just one this season.”

“Cam Skattebo Looks Rough Before fracturing his fibula, Cam Skattebo was having a great rookie season in 2025. Heading into the 2026 season, he looked as though he was back to being healthy and could pick up where he left off. Unfortunately, Skattebo’s role in 2026 hasn’t been as good as it was when he was a rookie, and he’s not producing as well on the opportunities he gets.”

“Skattebo has found the end zone just once and has been held below 60 rushing yards in three consecutive games. The workload is still there, with 81 carries through five weeks, but volume only gets you so far when the efficiency doesn’t follow. I wouldn’t cut Skattebo, but the days of treating him like a reliable RB2 should probably be behind us.”

“Skattebo finished with 19 touches, 66 total yards, a 62.3% snap share, 64.3% of the rushing attempts, and a 45.5% route share (3.4%). This was thanks to a Najee Harris fumble in the fourth quarter of last week’s game. In the first three quarters, Skattebo had a 55.6% snap share with 55.6% of the rushing attempts ( Najee Harris : 38.9% of the rushing attempts).”

“Rams No. 2 receiver Davante Adams had a decent day then (three catches, 56 yards and a touchdown), but the 33-year-old was spectacular during Nacua’s absence over the past couple of weeks.”

“Davante Adams has run 182 routes without Puka Nacua on the field since last season. On those plays: • 36.4% target share • 41.0% early-down target share • 57.1% air yard share • 3.10 yards per route run • 10 TD Most rushes hitting 15+ miles per hour this season (Next-Gen Stats): 1. Bhayshul Tuten (18) 2.”

“With Puka Nacua out, Adams has answered that question loudly. He’s winning at all three levels — short, intermediate, and deep — all over the field. Watch this and tell me it looks like a 33-year-old receiver: Davante Adams got it and got going for 49 yards!”

“Davante Adams – 13 targets, 7 rec Tyler Higbee – 11 targets, 8 rec It is not surprising to see Adams posting double-digit targets for a second consecutive week in the absence of Puka Nacua . It was supposed to be Terrance Ferguson earning extra targets at TE, but after suffering an ankle injury, it was Higbee that stepped up instead. It’s also worth noting that Konata Mumpfield surprised with eight targets on Sunday night, though he will likely lose any fantasy appeal once Puka returns.”

“Davante Adams is a must-start with Puka Nacua not expected to play, and Terrance Ferguson is an interesting play at TE.”

“Puka’s long-term injury status should be fine, but Adams is a WR1 if Puka misses any more time with a potential suspension. Parker Washington Parker Washington has proven that he is clearly the Jacksonville Jaguars ’ best WR. Washington is second in the NFL in target share and third in air yards (37%) through two weeks.”

“Injury Report RAMS Out: S Kamren Kinchens Doubtful: WR Jordan Whittington Questionable: WR Puka Nacua GIANTS Questionable: CB Deonte Bank, LB Micah McFadden Top Captain Plays Davante Adams $13,200 Adams is my favorite CPT under the Puka-out assumption. He led the NFL with 14 receiving TDs last season, and I want exposure where the Rams’ passing production runs through him after he was buns against the 49ers last week. This feels like a bounce-back spot.”
