Fantasy Football Mock Draft Video: Will Cam Skattebo be a steal coming off injury?

The New York Giants may have had a down season in 2025 but they emerged with a few cornerstone pieces on offense, with QB Jaxson Dart and RB Cam Skattebo. While Dart looks like a franchise QB, Skattebo’s future is shrouded by multiple season-ending injuries he sustained in Week 8.

Matt Harmon and Justin Boone talk Skattebo’s 2026 outlook after he was taken in the fifth round of the recent Yahoo staff 10-round mock draft. Skattebo was Pick No. 46 (RB20 overall) in the mock.

But Skattebo has had plenty of time to recover and is still just 24 years old. He should also enter the season as the unquestioned RB1 in the Giants’ backfield after the team opted not to make any additions in the NFL Draft or free agency. So the Giants must feel good about Skattebo coming back from injury. Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary are still on the roster, but that’s it.

In a small sample last season, Skattebo had 410 rushing yards, 24 catches and 207 receiving yards with seven total TDs. He was tied for the RB10 in fantasy points per game at 14.5 prior to being injured. So when Skattebo was out there, he was a great fantasy player. Boone is willing to take that shot despite the concerns about re-injury.

Boone has Skattebo ranked as the RB21 in his post-draft fantasy football rankings for 2026.
