Rookie Cam Skattebo has flashed as the Giants’ bruising back, seizing a bigger workload after Tyrone Tracy Jr. injury, with Jaxson Dart guiding the rookie QB unit.

But in Week 5, a red-zone fumble by Skattebo that Saints turned into a TD helped fuel a five-turnover day that doomed New York, as Slayton fumbled and Dart threw a fumble plus two interceptions.

Fantasy managers should watch whether Skattebo can tighten ball security; if he does, he can anchor a run-heavy attack even as Dart grows.

Skattebo’s public apology signals accountability as the Giants push to salvage the season.

Jaxson Dart’s second NFL start turned a strong early Giants drive into a costly turnover spree, ending in a 26-14 setback to New Orleans. He totaled 202 passing yards and 55 rushing, but five turnovers reversed momentum and exposed leadership gaps. The rookie remains a high-upside fantasy play, especially with Theo Johnson emerging as a reliable target, provided the ball-security issues fade.

Looking ahead, the Giants must cleanly protect and simplify plays to capitalize on Dart’s ceiling. A short week faces a tough test against Philadelphia, where Dart’s decision-making under pressure and Johnson’s targeting could shape the offense’s trajectory and fantasy upside.

Jaxson Dart’s NFL baptism started bright, then spiraled as five consecutive Giants turnovers in the second half sank New York in a 26-14 loss to New Orleans. He finished 26-of-40 for 202 yards with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, while showing off rushing ability but failing to close the rally after a strong first half.

Teammates Darius Slayton and Cam Skattebo also coughed up key possessions, and Dart publicly took the blame, emphasizing leadership and ball security. Daboll urged cleaner drives as the Giants look to rebound, balancing playmaking with tighter ball control in a tough stretch.
