Cam Skattebo vs Kimani Vidal: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two running backs. Cam Skattebo (New York Giants) averaged 14.5 PPG over 8 games in 2025, outscoring Kimani Vidal (Los Angeles Chargers, 8.5 PPG) by 6.0 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
The per-game difference of 6.0 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; Kimani Vidal posted 643 and 3. 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 Kimani Vidal Week 5. 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.
