Story summary

John Harbaugh, head coach of the New York Giants, caused confusion among fantasy football managers by benching running back Cam Skattebo late in a recent game. Although Harbaugh stated that Skattebo was not "benched," Skattebo did not receive any carries and did not play at all during the second half. This development frustrated many fantasy football players, as it occurred after the weekly waiver period had ended, making it difficult to adjust their rosters effectively. The incident adds to a series of challenging situations for fantasy managers this season, including injuries to Tyler Warren and Jeremiyah Love, which also disrupted lineup planning.
