Fantasy Football RB Report: Cam Skattebo frozen out of Giants' backfield leads messy Week 6 for splits

October 18, 2026

The New York Giants' Week 6 backfield chaos left fantasy football managers scrambling after Cam Skattebo was completely shut out of the game following last week’s fumbling issues. Skattebo, who entered the contest as the team’s leading rusher, failed to record a single carry, reception, or yard, effectively sitting out the entire game.

His absence came despite reports suggesting Najee Harris would share more workload, but instead, rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. emerged as the primary option, logging six carries for 45 yards and two touchdowns—though his efficiency left much to be desired.

Harris, meanwhile, managed just four carries for two yards, while Devin Singletary contributed minimally with four carries and a touchdown on a short run. The Giants’ offensive struggles extended beyond the backfield, as quarterback Jameis Winston was benched in favor of J.J.

McCarthy, who unexpectedly accounted for 26 rushing yards in the fourth quarter. With Skattebo’s role in question and Tracy’s inconsistent production, fantasy owners must tread carefully, as the Giants’ backfield remains a volatile puzzle heading into Week 7.
