Cam Skattebo
vs Ladd McConkey

“Cam Skattebo is getting nearly every touch in this backfield, with 46 more touches this season than Najee Harris , the Giants’ No. 2 RB. We haven’t seen much touchdown luck yet, and that total will likely remain relatively low in this offense.”

“Cam Skattebo is the top option and veteran RB Najee Harris has ascended to the No. 2 role. Tracy has kept a spot on the active roster because he can contribute as a kickoff returner but he’s had just one touch each of the past two weeks. He’s still on a rookie contract and has flashed some explosiveness as a rusher and receiver his first two years.”

“If Jeanty struggles against the Dolphins, it will be a long season once again for Jeanty owners.” – Muntradamus ( Beast Dome ) Cam Skattebo (RB – NYG) “I don’t know about “likely” to disappoint, but there’s certainly a chance that Cam Skattebo could leave his investors wanting for more.”

“Skattebo was a highlight from the group of New York backs in 2025, turning 125 touches into 617 yards and 7 touchdowns in his eight appearances. Skattebo had the best rushing success rate (39.6%) of the backs, compared to a 37% rate for Devin Singletary and a 31.8% rate for Tyrone Tracy.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“McConkey played only 45.2% of the snaps last week and saw an 11.1% target share while dealing with a rib injury, which helps explain why we are getting him at just 6.34% pOwn. Add on the Chargers are the NFL’s biggest letdown in 2026, and there is reason for concern. The matchup is the reason to buy the dip, as BUF has allowed the sixth-most yards per target and eighth-most fantasy points per target to slot WRs.”

“Through two games, Ladd McConkey has been underwhelming. Yes, his rib injury is part of the entire equation, but the entire Chargers offense has been a rollercoaster so far. Last week, despite having a 45.2% snap share, he had a 67.7% route share.”

“The reason McConkey was limited to only 18 routes was that he left the game early after getting lit up. His absence tanked the offense. Looking into what really went wrong for the Chargers, and when McConkey went out things fell off a cliff On/Off McConkey splits per @NextGenStats On: 8.9 Yards per pass Off: 3.9 Yards per pass On: 0.12 EPA/Play Off: -0.61 EPA/Play Whole different offense — Trevor Sikkema (@TampaBayTre) September 14, 2026 Quentin Johnston corralled two of his six targets for 17 scoreless yards on 27 routes, tying with Tre’ Harris for the team lead in routes.”

“Hampton was Andy’s start of the week, and Justin Herbert and Ladd McConkey are must-starts against the Cardinals’ defense.”

“He’s the No. 1 receiver for Justin Herbert , and now Mike McDaniel is the offensive coordinator for the team. Last season, when Keenan Allen wasn’t on the field, Ladd McConkey led the Chargers in target share at 20%.”

“That leaves a sizable hole in the offense, and McConkey should be the biggest beneficiary of those vacated targets.”

“Ladd McConkey is my bet for Herbert’s pass-catcher who will benefit the most from better health along the offensive line.”

“There's no denying Ladd McConkey was a massive fantasy disappointment last season. He saw a drop from 15.1 PPR points per game as a rookie down to 11.3.”
