Cam Skattebo benched by Giants in first quarter after overtime fumble vs. Commanders in Week 5

Coming into Week 6, Cam Skattebo started every game for the New York Giants this season. But ahead of Sunday's game, rumors started swirling that Najee Harris would take over as the team's starter due to Skattebo's fumbling issues.

Turns out, Harris wasn't the only member of the Giants to jump Skattebo on the depth chart. As the first quarter ended, Skattebo did not have a single touch against the New Orleans Saints.

Meanwhile, five other members of the Giants were credited with a rushing attempt. In addition to Harris, who started the contest, Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary, Jameis Winston and Darnell Mooney all got rushing attempts in the first quarter.

Coming into the game, Skattebo had four fumbles in five games. The running back had not lost a fumble until Week 5, when he gave the ball up in overtime against the Washington Commanders.

The turnover put Washington in position to win the game, but the Giants were bailed out after the Commanders allowed time to expire in overtime without a field-goal attempt.

Fumbling wasn't a major issue for Skattebo as a rookie. In 101 attempts last season, the running back was credited with just one fumble. This season, he has four in 81 attempts.
