News: 19 hours agoHead coach Brian Daboll said Monday that the MRI on Skattebo's (hamstring) leg yielded optimistic results, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: Daboll added that all of the Giants' injured players are getting better, casting a wide net that includes Skattebo. Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary have been splitting first-team snaps in training camp, though Skattebo had been making a push to join them prior to his injury. Despite the positive update from Daboll, Skattebo may be held out of Saturday's preseason opener against Buffalo.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Skattebo was selected by the Giants in the fourth round of April's draft. He's one of the oldest RBs in this class (23), but that's not enough to offset his elite efficiency during two seasons at Arizona State. Skattebo's 3.1 forced missed tackle rate last season was best in this class (his career rate ranked second), as was his 15% target share and 11.1 yards per target. He's not super-fast, but he has good size and a three-down skill set, which supplies him with a solid long-term fantasy outlook. Of course, Skattebo is likely to split work with impressive sophomore Tyrone Tracy Jr., so his 2025 upside may be limited. He's a fine midround target.
