Outlook Cam Skattebo
Cleared to Lead the Backfield in Rainy Thursday Night Matchup
Cam Skattebo carries no injury designation into Thursday night's divisional matchup with Washington after missing last week due to a hamstring injury. Coach John Harbaugh expects him to be a full go, and with Tyrone Tracy Jr. remaining on injured reserve, Skattebo reclaims his role as the lead back in a committee ahead of Devin Singletary after rushing for 124 yards and a touchdown in his previous outing.
Fantasy managers are rapidly slotting him back into lineups, and moderate rain at MetLife Stadium favors a run-heavy script for the first-place Giants. Our weekly projection calls for roughly 14 carries, 71 rushing yards, and nearly 14 fantasy points despite modest receiving work, making him a strong RB2 or FLEX option against a Washington squad that is winless on the road.

Outlook J.J. McCarthy
Cleared After Hip Scare Ahead of Rainy Clash With Washington
McCarthy enters Thursday night's divisional home matchup officially healthy after returning from a brief hip scare during Sunday's win in Philadelphia. Guiding the first-place Giants alongside key pass-catchers Malik Nabers, Darnell Mooney, and Isaiah Likely, he has protected the football well this season, though taking a hard hit on a short week could result in slightly limited mobility.
Rostered in roughly a third of leagues and rarely started, fantasy managers remain cautious since he has thrown just one touchdown pass across four appearances. Washington brings a forgiving pass defense, yet moderate rain, breezy outdoor conditions, and a low projected scoring total could cap big plays. Our models project around 210 passing yards, 16 rushing yards, and 15 fantasy points, making him a deep-league play.
