Week 2 fantasy evals for three late-round rookie backs. Skattebo struggled in Week 1 behind a leaky Giants line, with just two rushing attempts for -3 yards and 12 receiving yards on two catches. Gordon’s debut was muted in a blowout loss, limited to two carries for 4 yards and one catch for -1, as Achane dominated the Dolphins’ backfield. Marks saw minimal usage for Houston, three carries for three yards and no targets. Expectations suggest waivers or bench for Skattebo and Gordon in most leagues, with Marks a deep-dly hold or drop depending on format.

Beyond Week 2, the path to real fantasy relevance hinges on backfield volume and offensive line upgrades. The trio faces crowded roles and game-script dependencies, so rostering them requires patience and a willingness to chase any bump in touches or injuries in the weeks ahead. For now, most managers should lean toward safer options while monitoring opportunity shifts.
