News: 6 hours agoGiants head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Skattebo (hamstring) should be "full go" for Thursday's game against the Commanders, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Spin: After tweaking his hamstring in an Oct. 25 overtime win over the Texans, Skattebo wasn't able to fully shake the injury coming out of a Week 8 bye and ended up missing his first game of the season Sunday in the Giants' 19-11 win over the Eagles. The second-year back was at least able to close Week 9 prep as a limited participant in practice, and Harbaugh noted that Skattebo was close to playing against the Eagles before the team ultimately chose to hold him out as a matter of caution. Though the Giants will face a quick turnaround for Week 10, Skattebo looks on track to reclaim a leading role out of the backfield against Washington, barring a setback with his hamstring during the team's limited practice time leading up to the contest.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Skattebo is a Year 2 breakout candidate following an impressive but injury-shortened rookie season. The fourth-round pick first played a significant offensive role in Week 2 and went on to average 16.0 carries, 4.7 targets and 96.3 yards while scoring six TDs during his six full games. His 19.1 fantasy points per game during the span would've ranked sixth over the full season. The 24-year-old enters 2026 with a new coach (John Harbaugh) and playcaller (Matt Nagy), but his competition for touches are Najee Harris and the same guys he beat out for work in 2025 (Tyrone Tracy Jr., Devin Singletary). Assuming his ankle heals up as expected, Skattebo will be on the RB2 radar with upside for more.
