New York Giants backfield overview
If Cam Skattebo misses time
The Giants have no running back on today's Week 7 inactive list, so Cam Skattebo, Tracy and Devin Singletary are all dressed against Houston. Tracy is the most complete back behind Skattebo - he runs, catches and protects, paced the backfield in Week 6 with a rushing and a receiving touchdown, and Najee Harris was released Oct. 20, removing a body ahead of him. Tracy should be available on the wire in most leagues. Confidence is capped because beat reporting expects a three-way timeshare with Skattebo and Singletary rather than a clean lead role, so an unresolved committee is the honest description. Fact: depth order, Week 6 production, Harris release. Projection: share size.
No Giants running back is on the Week 7 inactive list and Cam Skattebo carries no designation, so he is expected to anchor the backfield against Houston. Najee Harris was released Oct. 20. Tyrone Tracy Jr. led the room in Week 6 with two touchdowns, and Devin Singletary returned from two inactive weeks to play 31 snaps, the most of any Giants back, with a rushing touchdown. Beat coverage expects the three to share work, which keeps every one of them a FLEX-or-worse proposition while Skattebo is healthy.
Material improvement: Najee Harris was released Oct. 20 and Tracy paced the backfield in Week 6 with a rushing and a receiving touchdown, which Rotoworld read as earning him the most snaps against Houston. But Dan Duggan expects Cam Skattebo back in Week 7 in a three-way timeshare with Tracy and Singletary. The most complete back here - runs, catches, protects - as a FLEX.
