Cam Skattebo vs Terry McLaurin

“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.”

“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.”

“was productive taking over as New York’s starting running back when Cam Skattebo suffered a season-ending injury in Week 8.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“One thing we do know is that as long as Cam Skattebo and Jaxson Dart can stay healthy, they’ll burn bright for fantasy.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I expect the Washington passing attack to be funneled through Diggs and Terry McLaurin.”

“Terry McLaurin followed his WR14 season in 2024 with the worst fantasy finish of his career. A quad injury limited him to ten games, and he finished with only 38 receptions, 582 yards, and three TDs.”

“Terry McLaurin is still the top target in the Commanders’ passing game. I expect them to be much more successful through the air with David Blough calling plays.”

“McLaurin is a target of mine because he doesn’t have much competition for targets of his. The Commanders’ passing game is essentially McLaurin and newly signed Stefon Diggs.”

“While everyone had high hopes for McLaurin in 2025, injuries to him and Jayden Daniels ruined his season.”

“The Commanders are desperate for a second pass catcher behind Terry McLaurin”

“Round 6: Terry McLaurin (WR – WSH) The Commanders were a train wreck last season, and part of that was Terry McLaurin only playing 10 games.”

“With Deebo Samuel and Zach Ertz gone, only Antonio Williams and Chig Okonkwo were added to this receiving depth chart; McLaurin should return to his target hog WR2 ways in 2026. He’s a strong bounceback candidate.”

“Round 4: Terry McLaurin (WR – WAS) Terry McLaurin was the counter-pick, sitting in an almost identical ADP range as Waddle. The preference here comes down to target-share ceiling: McLaurin’s worst-case target competition still leaves him with a strong floor, while his best case could push into the high-20s percentage range given how thin the target competition around him currently looks.”

“Terry McLaurin (WR – WSH) McLaurin’s 2025 season was derailed almost from the jump by a training camp holdout that eventually turned into a three-year, $96 million contract extension. That kind of disruption tends to torpedo a season, and it did here too.”

“Terry McLaurin is a favorite draft target in the fifth round based on ADP.”

“Both Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane are fighting for targets behind Terry McLaurin in the Commanders' receiver room.”
