Ashton Jeanty vs Cam SkatteboWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Cam Skattebo is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 14.5 PPG to Ashton Jeanty's 12.8 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Cam Skattebo is the better fantasy play this season.

Cam Skattebo has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 1.7-PPG advantage is real (14.5 to 12.8), and Cam Skattebo's 7 touchdowns show scoring upside. Ashton Jeanty is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Cam Skattebo (New York Giants) came in at 14.5 PPG over 8 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Cam Skattebo carries a 1.7-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

One scheduling note: Ashton Jeanty is off Week 13 and Cam Skattebo Week 8. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Ashton Jeanty (age 22) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Cam Skattebo (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
