It’s never too early to start talking fantasy football, right? Right?!

Of course not. And as fans look for value in their fantasy football drafts this year, ESPN is highlighting a former Big 12 star as a “midround pick with fantasy value”. Former Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo, was a fourth round pick by the New York Giants last month, and ESPN wrote about Skattebo, “Fantasy football favors running backs who are dual threats… he has the potential to bypass Devin Singletary as the complement to speedster Tyrone Tracy Jr.”

Here’s the full commentary on Skattebo.

Skattebo finished his senior season with 293 carries for 1,711 yards and 21 touchdowns, and 45 receptions for 605 yards and three touchdowns. Skattebo broke the Arizona State record for total rushing yards in a season, became the first ASU player to cross 2,000 yards from scrimmage in a single season, and finished 5th in Heisman voting. His rushing yards were second-most in the FBS, only behind Heisman runner-up Ashton Jeanty.

Skattebo and the Sun Devils went to the College Football Playoff, where they came up short against the Texas Longhorns in the quarterfinals.

He was a First-Team All-Big 12 selection, along with also being a First-Team All-American as well.
