Giants' Cam Skattebo emerges as top fantasy football RB candidate for 2026

Summary

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is considered a must-have for fantasy football in the 2026 NFL season, according to FantasyPros. Following a knee injury and a limited 2025 season, Skattebo's running style aligns well with the Giants' new ground-and-pound offense under head coach John Harbaugh. He has excelled in training camp, taking first-team reps and aiming for nearly 1,000 rushing yards if he remains healthy. His performance in a recent preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings highlighted his return to form after an ankle injury. Skattebo is expected to play a significant role as a low-end RB1 this season.
