Cam Skattebo and Tracy May Collaborate for Work Sharing Opportunities

Enhancements in Backfield Dynamics as Tyrone Tracy Returns from Injury

With Tyrone Tracy making a return from a shoulder injury for the upcoming game against the Eagles, the dynamics in the backfield are poised for a shift. Over the past three weeks, Skattebo has handled an impressive average snap share of 67.9 percent, with 16.7 carries and 5.7 targets per game. This workload has translated into 315 total yards, averaging 105 yards per game, and one touchdown.

Impact of Tracy’s Return on Skattebo’s Performance

Tracy’s re-entry into the lineup raises questions about Skattebo’s future workload. In Week 2, when Tracy was healthy, Skattebo’s snap share decreased to 53 percent with 13 touches, resulting in 59 yards and a touchdown during a tough overtime loss at Dallas. During that same game, Tracy managed five carries and five targets with a 42 percent snap participation.

Tracy’s Absence and Skattebo’s Dominance

The subsequent game against Kansas City saw Tracy make seven carries and receive three targets on just the first two drives before his injury sidelined him for the remainder of the match and the following two games. This paved the way for Skattebo to take a commanding role in New York’s backfield. However, his efficiency appeared to dwindle in Weeks 4 and 5 despite a standout performance against the Chiefs in Week 3.

Anticipating Week 6 Backfield Strategy

Heading into Week 6, the anticipated workload for Skattebo looks uncertain. While recent games suggest strong numbers, the presence of Tracy could significantly reduce Skattebo’s opportunities. This new backfield competition will be a key factor in determining New York’s strategy and overall offensive output against the Eagles.
