The New York Giants (2-6) will host the San Francisco 49ers (5-3) in Week 9. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Cam Skattebo.

Should You Start or Sit Skattebo in Week 9?
This one hurt to the core.
Losing a surprise weekly fantasy asset is one thing, but when someone seems to play the game with the joy that we play the fantasy version, and they suffer a devastating injury, it sticks with us.
Skattebo will miss the remainder of the season with a dislocated ankle. He entered Week 8 having run for 55+ yards in five straight games, matching the longest streak by a Giants rookie during the 2000s (Saquon Barkley did it in 2018).
He’s a player to watch when it comes to the recovery trail, as he did plenty to earn himself the top spot on this depth chart heading into the 2026 season. Still, his fun rookie season is now in the books with Tyrone Tracy set to pick up the slack in an offense that has now lost their two most exciting skill position players to brutal injuries.
