The New York Giants may have stumbled through a tough 2025 season, but they emerged with some serious offensive firepower—namely, quarterback Jaxson Dart and running back Cam Skattebo. While Dart looks like a genuine franchise QB, Skattebo's path forward is clouded by multiple season-ending injuries he suffered back in Week 8. But here's the question every fantasy manager is asking: Could he be the steal of your 2026 draft?

In the latest Yahoo Sports fantasy football mock draft, analysts Matt Harmon and Justin Boone put Skattebo under the microscope. He went off the board at Pick No. 46, making him the RB20 overall in a 10-round mock. That's a solid spot, but some are wondering if it's too low—or too high—for a player coming off major injury.

Let's break down the case for Skattebo. He's still just 24 years old, and he's had plenty of time to heal. More importantly, the Giants didn't add any notable running backs in the NFL Draft or free agency, which means Skattebo enters the season as the undisputed RB1 in New York's backfield. Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary are still around, but they're depth pieces, not threats to the starting job. The Giants clearly believe in Skattebo's recovery.

When you look at his numbers from last season, it's easy to see why. In a limited sample before his injury, Skattebo racked up 410 rushing yards, 24 catches, and 207 receiving yards, with seven total touchdowns. He was averaging 14.5 fantasy points per game—good for a tie at RB10 in the league. That's elite production, and Boone is willing to bet on that talent returning post-injury.

Of course, the re-injury risk is real, and it's the main reason Skattebo isn't going even higher in drafts. But Boone has him ranked as the RB21 in his 2026 post-draft rankings, suggesting there's value to be had here. If you're looking for a high-upside RB who could outperform his ADP, Cam Skattebo might just be your guy.
