Skattebo is seizing the Giants’ backfield, delivering a bruising, downhill rushing and receiving profile that makes him a fantasy asset even as questions linger about ball security. His 16 carries and high involvement have him outperforming Harvey in key drives, signaling a potential weekly floor in a Giants offense that relies on matchup-based creativity.

Against the Broncos, his role sharpens the fantasy calculus: a high-success rate on runs and receptions supports elevated touches, while the offensive-line turbulence and Bo Nix’ hypothetical presence add upside and risk. Dynasty managers should watch how the backfield usage evolves, especially in games with favorable game scripts.

In redraft terms, Skattebo is a speculative add with a tangible ceiling if workload holds or grows. His ability to impact both rushing and receiving yields a robust weekly floor in the right matchups, making him a true deep-league/superflex play as the season unfolds.

Dowdle exploded for 34 touches, 239 total yards, and 1 TD for 33.9 PPR points in Week 6, fueling Carolina’s two-game win streak with a revenge win over Dallas. Dobbins limped to 4.0 PPR in a London clash, while Maye’s breakout has fantasy managers chasing a QB1 floor (QB4 pace, 21.0 PPG). Pickens thrived without Lamb, Diggs cooled despite flexibility, and Stafford fell short as the Rams stumble. Hubbard’s looming return hints at a messy Carolina backfield, tempering Dowdle’s hold.

Maye’s surge, Dowdle’s workload, and the evolving backfield dynamics in Carolina shape Week 7 moves. Meanwhile, pick-and-roll targets shift across the Cowboys, Patriots, and Rams, with caution advised on schedule-heavy risk and potential regression as rosters adapt. The season’s mid-point brings clearer value signals, but volatility remains high in backfields and pass-heavy offenses.

Fantasy managers should watch Hubbard’s timeline, Maye’s weekly matchup strength, and Pickens’ target share post-Lamb. The week also flags a few under-the-radar sleepers and risk-reward plays in a landscape where one big game can redefine a lineup’s upside.
