STM Take
An explosive underdog back with a durability question already open.
The case for
- Recent game log shows a 31-PPR week (Wk 6), 27 PPR (Wk 9), and 24 PPR (Wk 3); the explosive ceiling is already on tape.
- Fifth in 2024 Heisman vote and first-team All-American at age 22; the college case is one of the strongest in the 2025 RB class.
The worry
- Only 8 NFL games in his rookie year; the durability question opens before he has even completed a full season.
- 4.1 YPC on 100 rookie carries is a developmental efficiency line, not a tier-1 one.
What to watch: Whether year two produces a full 17-game starter workload; the talent case needs the games-played case to follow.
Full take and bio
Skattebo's rookie season at STTM #18 tier 5 across 8 games (the season ended for him before Week 9) produced 410 rushing yards and a 31-PPR week. The college arc from FCS to Heisman finalist is the underdog case; the NFL sample is too small to confirm. He sits as one of the highest-ceiling unknowns in the bottom half of the top-20.
Skattebo was born in Rio Linda, California, attended Rio Linda High where his only Division I offer was Sacramento State, and was Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year in 2022. He transferred to Arizona State, won 2024 Big 12 Player of the Year, was a first-team All-American, and finished fifth in the 2024 Heisman vote behind Ashton Jeanty. The Giants took him 105th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft.
