While the position reflects expectations for the upcoming year, it has drawn attention, given the high hopes surrounding Skattebo's potential role in the Giants' offense under head coach John Harbaugh.
Skattebo's placement comes after a promising but injury-shortened 2025 campaign in which he showed flashes of elite playmaking ability before a season-ending injury in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. His performance highlighted dual-threat capabilities that could anchor New York's ground game if he stays healthy.
Skattebo provided a spark to the Giants’ offense before suffering a season-ending injury in the team’s second matchup versus Philadelphia in Week 8. His dual-threat ability allowed him to earn an 80.5 PFF grade that ranked 12th among qualified running backs. Alongside Jahmyr Gibbs, Josh Jacobs and Bijan Robinson, Skattebo finished the year as one of just four qualified backs to record an 80.0-plus grade as a runner and as a receiver. Assuming good health, Skattebo could be the engine of New York’s offense this season.
Skattebo's backfield partner, Tyrone Tracy Jr., was given an "honorable mention."
Tracy was a forgotten man in New York’s backfield for a while last season, but he led the Giants with 740 rushing yards. The former collegiate wide receiver also racked up 288 yards through the air, giving him over 1,000 yards from scrimmage for the season. Whether Skattebo is fully recovered from his season-ending injury or not, Tracy should be a major factor in the Giants’ backfield once again.
Despite the positive indicators from Skattebo's limited action, the overall ranking underscores concerns about consistency, workload management, and the Giants' offensive line play. Skattebo will look to build on his early success and prove he belongs among the league's top starters as the 2026 season approaches.
