Alexander Mattison vs Cam Skattebo: The Full Breakdown

The numbers tell a clear story here. Cam Skattebo put up 14.5 fantasy points per game for the New York Giants in 2025, while Alexander Mattison managed 5.3 across 14 games with the Las Vegas Raiders. A 9.2-point weekly edge is substantial at the running back position.

The per-game difference of 9.2 points favors Cam Skattebo, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Alexander Mattison ran for 255 yards and 2 touchdowns; Cam Skattebo posted 410 and 5. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Alexander Mattison sits Week 10 while Cam Skattebo is off Week 8. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Cam Skattebo is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Alexander Mattison is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Alexander Mattison (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open. Cam Skattebo (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
