Cam Skattebo is expected to retain his starting role as the Giants' lead running back.
Cam Skattebo looks like a steady piece for your lineup this week. The CBS report, though only modestly confident, points to him retaining the lead-back role in New York, and the Yahoo piece backs that up with specifics about a strong, "redeeming" performance against the Texans that Skattebo himself attributes to a mindset shift. Taken together, these two sources paint a picture of a back who is trending upward in both usage and effectiveness rather than someone in danger of losing snaps.
For fantasy purposes, this is a mild positive signal. Skattebo isn't being presented as a league-winning asset, but as a trusted starter who just delivered a game that validated the coaching staff's confidence in him. If you have him rostered, this is a comfortable "start" with no red flags about role erosion or a committee threat emerging. The redemption narrative and mindset talk suggest the Giants' staff and the player himself are aligned on him being the primary ball-carrier, which matters for touch-share stability going forward.
Confidence here is moderate — the CBS note carries only 50% confidence, so treat the "expected to retain starting role" framing as likely but not locked in stone. The Yahoo piece is more confidently sourced and reinforces the on-field performance side of the story. Net effect: no action needed if he's already in your lineup, and he's a reasonable streaming add if you're searching for a backfield piece with clear starter equity. Just keep an eye on next week's usage report to confirm the role holds, since the underlying confidence level isn't a lock.
After seeing his playing time dramatically reduced in Week 6, Giants running back Cam Skattebo more than earned his starting spot back against the Houston Texans.
