Fantasy Tiers

Cam Skattebo: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) RB (ranked #10 at the position). Trey Benson: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #46 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Cam Skattebo is producing at 66% of elite pace and Trey Benson at 33%. That ranking gap means Cam Skattebo carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Cam Skattebo vs Trey Benson: The Full Breakdown

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 Trey Benson (Arizona Cardinals, 7.2 PPG) by 7.3 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.

That 7.3-point weekly advantage for Cam Skattebo is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Cam Skattebo ran for 410 yards and 5 touchdowns; Trey Benson posted 160 and undefined. 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 8 and Trey Benson 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.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Cam Skattebo is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Trey Benson 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. Trey Benson (age 23) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
