Scott Bogman· Aug 2, 2025

Bogman delivered five escalating hot takes: Cam Skattebo leads the Giants in touches as a rookie, Trey McBride leads all tight ends in touchdowns, Ricky Pearsall leads the 49ers in receiving yards, Matthew Golden finishes as a low-end fantasy WR2 (around WR24), and Anthony Richardson finishes as the QB6 in fantasy.

“My first hot take is that Cam Scataboo leads the New York Giants in touches this season.”
