Cam Skattebo vs Trey Benson: 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 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.
Both share a Week 11 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.
