Cam Skattebo vs David Montgomery: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Cam Skattebo and David Montgomery is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The New York Giants running back put up 14.5 PPG in 2025 over 8 games; David Montgomery of the Houston Texans averaged 9.1 in 17. A 5.4-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 5.4 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. Cam Skattebo ran for 410 yards and 5 touchdowns; David Montgomery posted 716 and 8. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One scheduling note: Cam Skattebo is off Week 11 and David Montgomery Week 14. 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.
