Cam Skattebo vs TreVeyon Henderson

“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.”

“Fellow 2025 draftee Cam Skattebo's season came to an end with a gruesome injury early in Week 8.”

“With Skattebo still rehabbing the ankle injury that ended his rookie season, Tracy will likely see meaningful work at running back if Skattebo is unable to be fully healthy come the start of the season.”

“Initially, in a time split with Tyrone Tracy Jr., Skattebo became the favored option for New York in Week 4 and looked to be on the verge of stardom before a gruesome knee injury derailed his season in Week 8 against Philadelphia. Skattebo finished the year as the RB35, but if he had started the final nine games of the 2025 season, he was a sure-fire bet to blow past his RB38 ADP.”

“Cam Skattebo was the RB9.”

“When Jason’s pick came, he admitted he was purposefully unhelpful in Andy’s decision-making game because he himself wanted Etienne, but settled for TreVeyon Henderson, who he considered taking in the previous round.”

“Henderson could eat into Stevenson’s workload more in 2026 if he can take another step and payoff as an RB2, but he ‘s best viewed as an upside RB3.”

“For RB2, the cutoffs land at TreVeyon Henderson and Tony Pollard respectively.”

“TreVeyon Henderson (RB – NE) Henderson is currently going 58th overall, a full 20 picks ahead of his own backfield mate in the rankings. Last year’s split tells the story: while his teammate was healthy, Henderson managed just 6.6 fantasy points per game across the first eight weeks.”

“TreVeyon Henderson (NE) – ADP 53.6 | RB22 Fantasy players had high hopes for Henderson as a rookie. Unfortunately, he was unstartable for most of the year, finishing as the RB21.”

“More importantly, Henderson averaged 11.3 touches and 9.5 fantasy points per game in the regular season with Stevenson healthy. By comparison, he averaged 19 touches and 24.3 fantasy points per game without the veteran playing.”

“TreVeyon Henderson fits well in the Patriots' backfield as an explosive complement to Rhamondre Stevenson. However, according to the Fantasy Points Data Suite, Stevenson averaged more yards after contact per attempt and missed tackles forced per attempt than Henderson. He was also given more carries inside the 5-yard line.”

“Without Stevenson in the lineup in Weeks 9-11, Henderson averaged 19 touches and 110 total yards. With Stevenson active, Henderson had 11.2 touches and 57.2 total yards per game. Last year, Henderson was bested by Stevenson in every metric that I care about, namely explosive run rate, missed tackle rate, yards after contact per attempt, yards per route run, and pass protection stats.”

“TreVeyon Henderson finished his rookie season as the RB24 in fantasy points per game, but it wasn't nearly that productive for fantasy managers when you look at the full breakdown of how it unfolded. In Weeks 10-11, Rhamondre Stevenson wasn't active, and Henderson feasted with 60.3 combined PPR points, which accounted for 29.2% of his overall fantasy production for the season.”

“Henderson finished nearly dead-on with his draft placement, ending the year as the RB20. As with Harvey, it took time for the coaching staff to fully trust him and feel confident incorporating him into the game plan. Henderson didn't have a top-20 finish at the position until Week 9, and then he truly burst onto the scene.”

“Henderson is being drafted like New England's unquestioned lead back despite trailing Stevenson in missed tackles forced, yards after contact and pass-blocking reliability, which are the exact traits that keep backs on the field in every situation.”

“TreVeyon Henderson is getting pushed way too high on Sleeper. At an ADP in the low 40s, fantasy managers are treating him like a locked-in RB2 even though ECR has him nearly 20 points lower.”
