Cam Skattebo is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 14.5 PPG to Jake Tonges's 8.5 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Cam Skattebo is the better fantasy play this season.

Cross-position decisions depend on league format. In half-PPR, Cam Skattebo (14.5 PPG) is the higher-floor play. Jake Tonges (8.5 PPG) could win a specific week on touchdown variance. For FLEX spots, lean toward the player with the softer defensive matchup that week rather than defaulting to season averages.

High confidence: stats strongly favor the leader, and the gap is unlikely to close on matchup alone.

Fantasy Tiers

Cam Skattebo: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) RB (ranked #10 at the position). Jake Tonges: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #15 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 2 (Strong Starter) RB is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE in most league formats.

Cam Skattebo vs Jake Tonges: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Cam Skattebo (RB, New York Giants) against Jake Tonges (TE, San Francisco 49ers) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Cam Skattebo averaged 14.5 PPG in 2025 over 8 games, while Jake Tonges posted 8.5 PPG across 9 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Cam Skattebo is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Jake Tonges is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Cam Skattebo (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Jake Tonges (age 26) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
