The Giants' backfield rotation was similar to last week, with Cam Skattebo playing most of the early-down snaps and Najee Harris backing
him up. Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. split passing-down snaps.
New York started the season with a typical two-man running back rotation, with Cam Skattebo playing more on early downs and Devin Singletary more in passing situations. That changed in Week 3, when Singletary was made a healthy inactive. Najee Harris became the primary backup on early downs, while Skattebo took on passing down duties. This week, Skattebo’s playing time on third downs dipped back down, with Tracy taking the majority of those snaps. Harris and Tracy both mixed in on early downs, leading Skattebo to play a season-low 65.2% of snaps on early downs. While Skattebo remains the clear lead back for the Giants, it’s worth noting Harris and Tracy are both averaging more yards per carry than Skattebo this season. It’s possible Harris and Tracy continue to cut into Skattebo’s playing time this season if they keep outperforming him in the run game.
