Cam Skattebo vs Jaylen Warren: Who Should You Start?
Two running backs who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Cam Skattebo (New York Giants) finished the 2025 season averaging 14.5 fantasy points per game in 8 games. Jaylen Warren (Pittsburgh Steelers) came in at 12.3 PPG over 16 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Cam Skattebo carries a 2.2-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.
Jaylen Warren is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 40 targets into 333 yards, while Cam Skattebo profiles as a more traditional rusher with 410 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Jaylen Warren carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
Cam Skattebo has his bye in Week 11, and Jaylen Warren rests in Week 9. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
