Giants RB Cam Skattebo Predicts 2,000 Yards on 300 Carries as His Math Draws Scrutiny

Cam Skattebo said he expects “300 carries for over 2,000 yards” in 2026 after citing a 400-yard total on 100 carries from his injury-shortened rookie season.
That projection does not match his stated pace: 400 yards on 100 carries equals about 1,200 yards over 300 carries, still a strong season but far short of 2,000.
The Giants back is coming off a breakout 2025 campaign that ended early with a gruesome ankle injury, and he has recently discussed his rehab and seeking advice on handling the recovery.
Even at roughly 1,200 yards, Skattebo would have ranked near the NFL's top 10 rushers in 2025, underscoring both his upside and the gap between his ambition and the arithmetic.
Will the Giants' new power-run scheme let Cam Skattebo defy projections and hit his ambitious 2,000-yard rushing goal?
