Cam Skattebo vs Ty Johnson: 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 Ty Johnson (Buffalo Bills, 5.2 PPG) by 9.3 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
Cam Skattebo carries a 9.3-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.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Cam Skattebo ran for 410 yards and 5 touchdowns; Ty Johnson posted 200 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 Ty Johnson Week 12. 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.
