Cam Skattebo: Start or Sit?
RB1 and physical workhorse. Contact-balance bruiser with receiving chops, returning from late-season injury.
This week’s verdict
RB20 at 13.7 projected with a 13% target share — the pass-game role makes him a stable PPR RB2 in a near pick'em game.
- DAL ranks 22 of 32 against RBs (one of the softer matchups, 0-game sample).
- Vegas implies 23.5 team points as 1.5-point underdogs.
- Listed RB on the latest depth chart with a 52% snap share in 2025.
The call
- Consensus RB20 and 13.7 projected points clears the bar for a 12-team PPR flex or RB2 slot over a typical replacement.
- A 13% target share over eight games is elite receiving usage for a back — that floor holds even if the ground game stalls.
- Vegas frames this as a coin flip (spread 1.5, 23.5 implied team total), so no negative script that would take him off the field.
- Risk is the 52% snap share: he's splitting work, so the ceiling depends on goal-line and passing-down volume rather than pure carries.
Verdicts based on PPR scoring.
