2025 Fantasy Outlook
Running backs with 4.7 speed rarely receive starting consideration in the NFL – most of them have been moved to fullback by then – but Skattebo (5-foot-10, 219 pounds) could prove an exceptional case. He was outrageously productive at Arizona State and Sacramento State, leading the Giants to select him with the third pick in the fourth round of the 2025 Draft (105th overall). If Skattebo can make it in the NFL, it would likely be due to his extremely powerful running in traffic and standout short-area explosiveness. As bad as his 40 time is, Skattebo plays a tick faster thanks to his instant, almost infallible processing and powerful burst (39.5-inch vertical, 123-inch broad jump). In other words, Skattebo can't run away from anyone but might be able to dice up defenses with chunk gains. He runs with rare hostility and instantly lowers his center of gravity to absorb contact with impressive leverage, making it difficult for defenses to trap him once he gets to the second level. Tyrone Tracy was a promising pick for the Giants in 2024 and could remain their starter, but Skattebo is the much more powerful and volume-capable player of the two. With workhorse potential and standout pass-catching ability, Skattebo has big-time fantasy upside despite his 4.7 40 and the presence of Tracy. Read Past Outlooks

Targeting return for camp
Skattebo (ankle) said Monday that his long-term goal is to be back to full health by the start of training camp in late July, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
His rookie season came to an end in Week 8 due to a dislocated right ankle that required surgery, but Skattebo is progressing well in his recovery. He said he has no plans of rushing things to make it back on the field for OTAs in the spring, however. Given the severe nature of his injury, Skattebo isn't guaranteed to be ready for the start of camp either, but the Giants should have a clearer idea of where the running back stands once he starts ramping up the intensity of his rehab. Skattebo's role in 2026 will hinge on how quickly he can regain his pre-surgery explosiveness. The Arizona State product was dynamic as both a runner and a pass-catcher over his eight appearances, accounting for 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries with 207 receiving yards and two more scores on 24 catches.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top 2025 rookie RB per MJD
Maurice Jones-Drew of NFL.com ranks Skattebo as the top running back in the 2025 rookie draft class in Thursday's hypothetical.
ANALYSIS
As a former standout NFL running back himself, Jones-Drew believes Skattebo contributed the most to his team's success out of all rookie running backs to log at least 50 carries through Week 11. Skattebo is sidelined for the remainder of the season due to an ankle injury, but his powerful running style and ability to break tackles should help Skattebo excel once he regains health. Jones-Drew believes Skattebo should have been a top-10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and ranks the Giants running back ahead of Raiders rookie sixth overall pick Ashton Jeanty.
