Cam Skattebo vs Zonovan Knight: Who Should You Start?
Cam Skattebo and Zonovan Knight are at different tiers heading into 2026. The New York Giants running back averaged 14.5 PPG in 2025, a full 7.7 points per game ahead of Zonovan Knight's 6.8 with the Arizona Cardinals. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.
Cam Skattebo carries a 7.7-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; Zonovan Knight posted 269 and 4. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 11 bye. That means you need a backup plan at running back for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
