Cam Skattebo vs Raheim Sanders: 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 Raheim Sanders (Cleveland Browns, 4.7 PPG) by 9.8 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
A 9.8-PPG gap gives Cam Skattebo the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Cam Skattebo ran for 410 yards and 5 touchdowns; Raheim Sanders posted 92 and 1. 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 Raheim Sanders Week 10. 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.
