Pat Kerrane said Cam Skattebo is one of the few running backs in the pick-100 range he actively targets. Although the fourth-round rookie is "really slow" and carries a non-starter floor, Kerrane believes the skill-set box score is exactly what fantasy gamers want if he ends up atop the depth chart: consistent tackle-breaking, short-yardage prowess, and legitimately good hands. He compared Skattebo’s profile to Panthers-era Mike Davis—chunk gains, reliable receptions, and every goal-line carry—even noting the rookie already has tape fans who thought he could have snuck into Day-2 of the draft. Kerrane projected that Skattebo is "the guy I would bet on to be the starter by the end of the season" because coaches love his attitude and he can consolidate all the high-value work if Tyrone Tracy falters. At current ADP he sees Skattebo as "Charbonnet with an actual path to the job," giving him contingent-plus standalone upside that justifies a steady best-ball click rate.

Jason Moore cautioned listeners to stay away from Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and any other Giants running back in redraft leagues. He reviewed fantasy data from the past seven seasons showing that the team with—or tied for—the NFL’s worst record finished no better than 25th and as low as 32nd in cumulative running-back fantasy points in every single year. Moore believes Brian Daboll’s club is the odds-on favorite for that dubious honor and will deploy a committee behind a bottom-five offensive line. Even though he personally likes Skattebo’s college tape and Tracy’s Day-3 versatility, Moore said "the math doesn’t math" for fantasy relevance when negative game scripts erase rushing volume and cap red-zone opportunities. He recommended passing on the entire backfield outside of deep dynasty stashes, arguing managers are better off chasing upside handcuffs on competent offenses.

Erickson encouraged drafters to ‘reach’ on fourth-round pick Cam Skattebo, even taking him over day-two wide receivers. Rookie running backs are king in this contest, and Skattebo is discounted solely because he slid three spots into round four. Erickson noted that it would take only one Tyrone Tracy fumble for Skattebo to seize the Giants’ starting gig, at which point he would outscore most of the WR/TE names drafted ahead of him. The upside of landing a cheap workhorse outweighs the opportunity cost of passing on mid-tier receivers.

Shawn Siegele sided firmly with Cam Skattebo over Tyrone Tracy even though their ADPs have converged (RB34 vs RB35). Siegele reminded listeners that Scataboo is a 220-pound back who flashed David-Montgomery-style tackle breaking while also commanding elite receiving usage in college, giving him a rare every-down profile. Tracy, on the other hand, is an older position-convert whose splashy explosion numbers hide a tiny rushing sample and poor context-adjusted efficiency per SIS. Because Skattebo can stay on the field for all three downs and potentially consolidate 70-plus percent of touches if he outplays Tracy in camp, Siegele believes the rookie is the superior bet to deliver a 2025 league-winning outcome.

Koerner prefers Cam Skattebo over Tyrone Tracy in the Giants’ post-Barkley committee. While he concedes Tracy likely opens Week 1 atop the depth chart, Koerner flagged Tracy’s 2023 fumbling issues and wide-receiver-to-RB learning curve as red flags. Skattebo's calling card is yards after contact, and Koerner thinks that grinder style plus adequate pass-game chops could push him past Tracy once real football starts. He has both backs graded just outside his top-30 but takes Scataboe in drafts for the higher late-season ceiling and plans to toggle projections weekly based on camp buzz.

James Koh raved about Cam Skattebo’s vision and footwork, noting a class-best 62.5 % success rate on between-the-tackles runs. That pairs neatly with Brian Daboll’s Giants, who logged the NFL’s 5th-highest inside-run rate in 2024. Koh highlighted Skattebo’s ability to force linebackers to commit before exploding laterally into a new lane, calling his tape "a thing of beauty." The lone concern is volume: veteran Devin Singletary knows the system and rookie Tyrone Tracy adds juice, creating a three-headed competition. Because of the skill fit but depth-chart uncertainty, Koh assigned a 7.5/10 match score and labeled Skattebo a worthwhile upside stash for season-long formats.

Greg Brainos argued that rookie Cam Skattebo is being drafted a full round too late relative to Tyrone Tracy despite having a clearer money-touch role. Brainos pointed out that Brian Daboll ‘grinned ear-to-ear’ when asked about Skattebo on draft night, and Giants analytics staff graded him with an 85% success rate on carries inside the five—the best mark in the 2024 class. With Russell Wilson stabilizing drives and Tracy expected to handle most of the passing-down work, Brainos sees Skattebo operating as a pure hammer who could realistically score 8-10 touchdowns even in a 45/55 committee. He called the pick the kind of low-ADP, high-ceiling bench piece that can swing best-ball advance rates when those December snow games at MetLife turn into trench warfare.

Erickson advised aggressively drafting Cam Skattebo despite his Round-4 NFL draft capital. The analyst noted New York’s backfield hierarchy is fragile; a single Tyrone Tracy fumble could hand Skattebo the starting gig. Given that running backs drive more spike weeks than middling rookie wideouts, Erickson believes Skattebo will outscore most of the Day-2 WR class that currently goes earlier in Gamma drafts.

Mike Wright said he is happy to take Cam Skattebo in the double-digit rounds because he sees the rookie forcing his way into a bell-cow role. Wright expects the Giants to open with Skattebo as a third-down specialist but believes his all-around game will make it "sooner than later" before coaches decide they can’t take him off the field. Passing on Tyron Tracy in the same range, Wright framed Skattebo as the cleaner path to every-down touches and a potential league-winning payoff if the New York backfield thins out.

Jon Warner said Cam Skattebo is one of the best values in Underdog’s Sprint right now. Warner argued the former Arizona State workhorse checks every box coaches care about: short-yardage finishing, goal-line power, pass protection, and soft hands in the screen game. Those ‘high-value touches’ mean Skattebo can deliver weekly spike weeks even if he opens the season in a committee. Warner added that NFL staffs tend to fall in love with backs who can keep the quarterback clean—exactly the skill set that earns unexpected three-down snaps late in the year when best-ball playoff weeks matter most. With drafters chasing sexier satellite types two or three rounds earlier, Warner is happy scooping Skattebo at his current ADP and letting the volume come to him.

Pete Overzet pegged undrafted rookie Cam Skattebo as a sneaky bet to take over New York’s backfield. He noted Skattebo’s elite short-yardage efficiency at Arizona State and dependable pass-pro chops—traits Brian Daboll covets for goal-line and third-down snaps. By contrast, Day-3 pick Tyrone Tracy Jr. was explosive but posted a mediocre collegiate rushing success rate and struggled in protection, suggesting a change-of-pace ceiling. Overzet believes the Giants’ improved offensive line coupled with Skattebo’s between-the-tackles profile puts him on the fast track for early-season red-zone work and eventual three-down usage. At his current 10th-round price, Skattebo offers cheap RB2 upside with contingent bell-cow potential in best ball builds that start heavy at other positions.

Mike Wright highlighted Cam Skattebo as an overlooked depth-chart climber after New York spent an early fourth-round pick on the Arizona State bulldozer. Skattebo ranked second nationally to Jonah Gentee in missed tackles forced and posted a 92.3 PFF rushing grade—numbers Wright believes will immediately endear him to Brian Daboll. The Giants’ backfield features only converted wideout Tyrone Tracy and journeyman backups behind Devin Singletary, and Daboll rode platoons on 58 % of snaps last season. Wright expects Skattebo to seize short-yardage and special-teams duties by Week 1 and projects 6-8 touches out of the gate with flex-worthy upside if Singletary falters. He recommended spending a late second in rookie drafts or scooping Skattebo off waivers early before preseason buzz spikes the price.

Danny Kelly said Cam Skattebo could be the surprise engine of Brian Daboll’s backfield as early as Week 1. Drafted in Round 4, Scadaboo already owns the inside track to touches because the current Giants depth chart is filled with placeholder veterans on short-term deals. Kelly compared the rookie’s tackle-breaking ability and contact balance to David Montgomery while noting a lower-end outcome similar to Zack Moss. Scadaboo forced 0.31 missed tackles per rush at Arizona State, a rate that would have led all NFL backs last season, and he posted a 38 percent dominator rating despite playing in a sluggish offense. Kelly acknowledged the back’s lack of long speed (4.64 forty) but emphasized his elite short-area burst—1.51 ten-yard split and 10-foot-3 broad jump—as traits that translate to early-down success. With Daboll historically leaning on one primary runner who can grind between the tackles, Kelly expects Scadaboo to handle 12-15 carries per game by mid-season and recommended grabbing him in the double-digit rounds of redraft, stashing him aggressively in dynasty, and mixing him into late Best Ball exposure for spike-week potential.

Theo Gremminger said Cam Scataboo profiles as a sneaky second-round dynasty pick even though he only cost early-fourth-round NFL capital. Gremminger pointed out that the rookie’s two elite traits—short-yardage power and legitimate receiving chops—mirror what Tyrone Tracy already does, giving coaches flexibility to alternate full drives rather than pigeon-holing Scataboo into obvious situations. Because that staff struggled to find a dependable early-down back last season, he expects Scataboo to become the go-to option on money downs as the year progresses and possibly seize the entire backfield if Tracy falters. With so few “clean” rookie RB landing spots this year, Gremminger predicted Scataboo will climb into the early-second tier of many Superflex drafts once managers realize the path to 12-15 touches and goal-line carries is wide open.

Chris Raybon said Cameron Skattebo has a clear path to taking over the Giants backfield and could even open Week 1 as the starter. Raybon stressed that incumbent Tyrone Tracy coughed up five fumbles last season and is still learning the position after converting from wide receiver, which led the coaching staff to limit his touches in high-leverage spots. Skattebo, by contrast, arrives as a natural runner with a bruising style that should endear him to Brian Daboll and the New York fan base. Raybon expects Tracy to get first crack at the job but projected Skattebo to "earn reps quickly" and dominate the workload by the second half if not sooner. With the Giants ranking top-12 in red-zone rush rate and lacking any other credible runners, Raybon views Skattebo as a priority late-round stash in best-ball formats and a bench lottery ticket in season-long leagues.

Davis Mattek pegged fourth-round rookie Cam Skattebo as a real challenger to Tyrone Tracy in New York. Despite skipping the forty, Skattebo averaged 4.09 yards after contact, forced 103 missed tackles and caught 111 passes in college (1.95 YPRR in 2023). Mattek reminded listeners that Tracy is a sixth-round converted WR with no 1,000-yard rushing season, calling his profile "far shakier than people remember." The Giants’ muddled QB room (Daniels, Russell Wilson) could prefer a durable "four yards and a cloud of dust" back who is also elite at the goal line and on passing downs. With Sims spitting out Rachaad White and LeSean McCoy comps, Mattek views Skattebo as a cheap Best-Ball stash who could leapfrog Tracy for the early-down and short-yardage role.

Andy Holloway endorsed Arizona selecting Arizona State bruiser Cam Skattebo late on Day 2 as the eventual heir to 29-year-old James Conner. Holloway compared Skattebo’s downhill, tackle-breaking style to a hybrid of Conner and peak Marshawn Lynch, citing his 0.35 forced missed tackles per carry and 83 percent catch rate on screens. He noted that OC Drew Petzing leaned on his RB1 for a 73 percent snap share last year and that the staff has publicly questioned Trey Benson’s durability after two in-season injuries limited him to just 63 carries. Holloway projected that Skattebo could see short-yardage and goal-line work immediately while growing into a full workload by 2026, making him a sneaky mid-second-round pick in superflex rookie drafts and a name to star on best-ball watch lists for touchdown upside.

Youmans bet Cam Skattebo under 120.5 (opened 138.5, now ‑155) and called it "the only prop with meat left outside Round 1." He lauded the Sun Devil’s 92 PFF elusive‑rating and 39 catches last season, skills that fit modern third‑down roles. With several RB‑needy teams holding picks in the late‑fourth to early‑fifth range, Youmans expects Skattebo to come off the board well before pick 121, making the current number too high even after the move.
