Giants RB Cam Skattebo surprised by lack of touches

Oct 19, 2026

Call him “Cam Skattebooooo” because the Giants turned him into a ghost.

Cam Skattebo knew ahead of Sunday’s game that he was not going to start and that his playing time would be diminished as a result of four fumbles in the first five games, but he wasn’t expecting to be limited to six offensive snaps (all in the first half) and no touches in the 34-27 loss to the Saints.

Related players: Tyrone Tracy Jr., Devin Singletary

Fantasy Impact:

Skattebo fumbled with the Giants in field-goal range in overtime at the end of last week’s tie against the Commanders, we all remember. HC John Harbaugh, according to the story, said they did not bench Skattebo. However, as the story added, Skattebo went from 18.2 touches per game to zero. Harbaugh added it wasn't by design that Skattebo didn't get any touches. As the story also pointed out, the Giants buried Tracy on the depth chart after his mistakes, including fumbles, in the preseason and Week 1, and he led the backfield in touches this week and scored two touchdowns. Fantasy owners can't really trust Skattebo in lineups until we see his playing time increase. The good news is Tracy carried six times for 18 yards and Singletary had four carries for 14 yards, so it wasn't a successful day running the ball for the Giants without Skattebo.

Colts sticking with QB Daniel Jones

Pro Football Talk

7 minutes ago

The Colts signed Daniel Jones to a two-year, $88 million extension in the offseason, even though he was returning from a torn right Achilles. It does not currently look like a good decision, but coach Shane Steichen is not wavering on Jones as his starter.

“I love Daniel, but we have to clean up the turnovers,” Steichen said after the 26-20 loss to the Titans, via Stephen Holder of ESPN.

Steichen, though, said the Colts are not making a change.

Related players: Anthony Richardson, Riley Leonard

Fantasy Impact:

Jones has multiple turnovers in three games this season and nine total turnovers after throwing two interceptions against the Titans, the story pointed out. Leonard has been inactive for games leaving Richardson as the backup. Jones owners may want to think backing themselves up with Richardson - just in case, especially in deeper leagues where there may not be better options on the wire.

Rams will need to sign another kicker

The Rams signed kicker Blake Grupe after Week 5. They’ll be signing another kicker after Week 6.

Via Arash Markazi of The Sporting Tribune, Grupe left SoFi Stadium with his leg in a brace and on crutches.

Fantasy Impact:

Fantasy owners likely jumped at Grupe after the Rams signed him to replace Harrison Mevis. But Grupe tried to make a tackle on a kick return and he didn't make it back. We'll keep you posted on who gets the job next.

Jets Beat: WR Omar Cooper Jr. has great return to lineup

There were not many positives for the Jets to take away from Sunday’s 26-19 loss to the Patriots, but they got another standout performance from one of their rookie first-round picks.

This week, it was Omar Cooper Jr.’s turn. The wide receiver returned from a high-ankle sprain to have a huge day for the Jets. Cooper had six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown in his first game since Week 1.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper was a popular name in dynasty drafts this past spring and was thought of as a later first round, or early second round pick in those formats. Unfortunately, his injury in Week 1 derailed him a bit but he's back on the fantasy radar after this past week's game. Cooper was thought to be a nice compliment to Garrett Wilson as the team's WR2. There's a good chance he's on your league's wire, and he's worth adding. However, maybe take a wait-and-see approach before inserting him right into lineups.
