Analyze Cam Skattebo's matchup for week 9
Cam Skattebo is on IR after a dislocated ankle and will not play in Week 9 or the rest of the 2025 season. Drop him in all redraft leagues while elevating Tyrone Tracy Jr. as the Giants’ new backfield leader.
Week 9 would have matched Skattebo versus a middle-of-the-pack Washington run defense. With 66.7% of snaps and 30+ touches over his last two healthy games, he would have been an RB2/flex with touchdown-dependent upside. Instead, the Giants visit Washington without their breakout rookie, leaving Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary to split work.
Before injury, Skattebo had six total touchdowns, 240 rushing yards, 143 receiving yards, and seven straight double-digit PPR games, averaging 12.26 PPR PPG as the overall RB17.
Cam Skattebo’s 2025 campaign ends on a tragic note after a dislocated ankle in Week 8 required surgery. The fourth-round rookie had emerged as a true three-down workhorse, commanding nearly 67% of snaps while averaging 4.4 yards per carry and 7.9 yards per reception. His ability to combine volume with passing-game usage produced consistent fantasy gold, and his touchdown upside kept him in the weekly top-20 RB discussion. The injury knocks him off the map; he’s on IR and will not return this season. Expect a full recovery for 2026, making him a hold in dynasty IR spots, but redraft managers must move on now. The Giants pivot to a committee led by Tracy, who inherits a similarly favorable rest-of-season schedule and should be prioritized on every waiver wire. Skattebo’s rookie tape should remind dynasty owners that when healthy he profiles as a legitimate RB1, so stash him where possible but do not waste a bench spot in single-season formats.
