Best Cam Skattebo prop bet for Giants vs. Commanders on Thursday 11/12/26

Week 10 kicks off on Thursday Night Football with an NFC East showdown. Against all odds, the New York Giants are still in the division lead heading into this game against the Washington Commanders. While Cam Skattebo’s status in the eyes of his team’s coaching staff may be in question, he did deliver a season-best performance last time he took the field and is likely in line to operate as the starting running back again tonight.

Here’s the best Cam Skattebo prop bet for Giants vs. Commanders on Thursday Night Football in Week 10.

Best Cam Skattebo prop bet for Giants vs. Commanders

The role Cam Skattebo plays for the Giants seems to be in flux these days. He’s seen a healthy dose of rush attempts in most of his appearances, but he was also practically benched a few weeks back and finished a game without a single touch. He also spent last week dealing with a hamstring injury and didn’t play in Week 9, but he’s doesn’t carry a designation on the injury report in Week 10 and should be a full-go from the sound of things.

The second-year running back was largely unimpressive through much of the campaign, but he finally erupted in his last appearance prior to the injury. He ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown against a strong Texans front, bringing his stat line on the season to 418 yards and two scores on 98 carries. He’s up to 4.3 YPC as well now, but he hasn’t been very involved as a receiver – leaving one of his best abilities largely untapped. Still, he’s likely itching to get back on the field and bring his aggressive running style to the national stage on Thursday Night Football after a couple of weeks off.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Skattebo’s player prop bet lines are set at O/U 52.5 rushing yards and 15.5 rush attempts. His receiving props sit at 1.5 receptions and 7.5 yards. He also holds +120 odds to record an anytime touchdown, the shortest of any player in this game. As for the game lines, the Giants are a 2.5-point favorite at home with the total set at 40.5 combined points.

The Commanders have not been a particularly friendly matchup for opposing running backs, allowing just 79.0 rushing yards and 3.70 YPC to the position through eight games this season. While defensive tackle Daron Payne is now sidelined on IR for the remainder of the campaign, this has been a pretty stout defensive front and that isn’t likely to totally change in his absence – Washington conceded 83.5 rushing yards to the halfbacks in the first two games without him.

Even still, the over on Skattebo’s rushing yards prop holds some appeal, as does the over on his rush attempts line. He’s producing 59.7 rushing yards per game this season, which includes the outing in which he didn’t record a single touch. Excluding that contest, he averages 69.7 rushing yards per game. Moreover, he’s eclipsed 52.5 yards on the ground in five of those six games and has handled over 15.5 rush attempts in four of them.

With Tyrone Tracy on IR, this is a backfield that’ll be led by Skattebo, with Devin Singletary seeing work as the backup. Skattebo has been able to go over Thursday’s rushing prop more often than not and is likely to see an edge when it comes to workload with a healthy dose of 12+ carries, so even in a tough matchup, I like his chances to go over it.

Best Bet: Cam Skattebo over 52.5 rushing yards (-113)
