Cam Skattebo vs Tyjae Spears: 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 Tyjae Spears (Tennessee Titans, 6.9 PPG) by 7.6 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
The per-game difference of 7.6 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.
Tyjae Spears is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 45 targets into 264 yards, while Cam Skattebo profiles as a more traditional rusher with 410 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Tyjae Spears carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
One scheduling note: Cam Skattebo is off Week 11 and Tyjae Spears 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.
