The New York Giants were the hottest name in the Jonathan Taylor sweepstakes, but the trade deadline came and went without John Harbaugh's squad adding him or any other running backs. So, it's once again Cam Skattebo's backfield to lose.
Skattebo, the second-year pro out of Arizona State, is expected to return tonight against the Washington Commanders after injuring his hamstring late in a Week 7 win over the Houston Texans. It was a huge game for Skattebo, who rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown, including a 42-yard game-sealing carry in overtime.
Still, Harbaugh has made it hard to trust Skattebo. The game prior to his 124-yard gem, Skattebo didn't get a single touch. It was seemingly punishment for Skattebo fumbling away a win against the
Commanders.
Here's what to do with Skattebo in Week 10 fantasy lineups.
Is Cam Skattebo a start or sit vs. Commanders in Week 10?
Skattebo is a strong start against Washington tonight. Najee Harris is off the team, Tyrone Tracy is out for the season and Devin Singletary turned 21 carries into a measly 31 yards last week against the Philadelphia Eagles. Harbaugh has no choice but to trust Skattebo, who'll be well rested against a Commanders team that just allowed 124 rushing yards to the Los Angeles Rams. While Washington is sixth best in fantasy points allowed to running backs this season, game script should be in the Giants' favor, and they'll likely want to run the ball with J.J. McCarthy nursing a hip injury.
