Cam Skattebo vs Jaylen Waddle

“5 | Diff: +2 The human battering ram known as Cam Skattebo made waves in his rookie season before being sidelined by a horrible ankle/fibula fracture that also ruptured his deltoid ligament in Week 8 of last season.”

“But Skattebo is a back who has a reckless playing style, which makes me concerned that he’s going to be one of those players who is always dealing with a lingering injury. With Malik Nabers also recovering from a torn ACL and Matt Nagy calling plays, I’m skeptical about this Giants offense.”

“One thing we do know is that as long as Cam Skattebo and Jaxson Dart can stay healthy, they’ll burn bright for fantasy.”

“With an expert consensus ranking (ECR) of RB19, Skattebo showed enough to justify being drafted in the dead zone and has RB1 upside if healthy.”

“While Skattebo proved to be nothing if not effective, ranking near the top of the NFL in rushing touchdowns and first downs per rush over the first two months of the season, his efficiency left room for improvement. According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, Skattebo's 4.1 yards per carry and 3.0 yards after contact were fairly average stats, and he only produced one carry of over 20 yards.”

“Skattebo was a dedicated bell-cow back in his final year of college, ending the Sun Devils' regular season with two games in which he produced 324 rushing yards and six touchdowns. In the Big 12 Championship, Skattebo stole the show with 170 yards on the ground and three total touchdowns, and when the team was eliminated in the playoffs, it was in spite of Skattebo's 148 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, and 42-yard touchdown pass.”

“New head coach John Harbaugh (BAL) has committed to a physical run game, and further strengthened that commitment by drafting Francis Mauigoa in the first round of the draft. Skattebo only has Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary to worry about stealing carries, which should be a non-issue.”

“Fellow 2025 draftee Cam Skattebo's season came to an end with a gruesome injury early in Week 8.”

“With Skattebo still rehabbing the ankle injury that ended his rookie season, Tracy will likely see meaningful work at running back if Skattebo is unable to be fully healthy come the start of the season.”

“Initially, in a time split with Tyrone Tracy Jr., Skattebo became the favored option for New York in Week 4 and looked to be on the verge of stardom before a gruesome knee injury derailed his season in Week 8 against Philadelphia. Skattebo finished the year as the RB35, but if he had started the final nine games of the 2025 season, he was a sure-fire bet to blow past his RB38 ADP.”

“Cam Skattebo was the RB9.”

“Jaylen Waddle (WR – DEN) has a genuinely high ceiling in his new offense.”

“Jaylen Waddle was tied for fifth in first downs per route run last year, despite a horrendous offensive environment and putrid quarterback play.”

“#1 catch rate (83%) - with only 2 drops all season Sean Payton’s stated vision for Jaylen Waddle is slot-to-Z - the opposite of his charted usage, per Reception Perception:”

“Sutton has increased target competition in Denver this season after the Broncos traded for Jaylen Waddle , but he has been a consistent TD threat with QB Bo Nix .”

“Jaylen Waddle (DEN) : ADP 42.5 | WR22 While the Miami Dolphins’ offense was inconsistent last season, Waddle ended the year as the WR24, averaging 12.1 PPR fantasy points per game. More importantly, the veteran didn’t need a massive target share to produce top-12 fantasy numbers.”

“Jaylen Waddle (WR – DEN) It seemed in 2025, when Tyreek Hill got injured, that Jaylen Waddle was primed for another massive season.”

“Jaylen Waddle , WR21 (Miami to Denver) It’s Jaylen Waddle SZN!”

“With the passing attack expected to condense around just two clear focal points this year, Waddle projects as the offense’s unquestioned wide receiver one.”

“Jaylen Waddle could vastly outproduce his fantasy football ADP. Currently going as the WR23, Waddle has true top-12 upside. After joining the Broncos this offseason, Waddle finds himself alongside an aging Courtland Sutton and a plethora of solid young talent.”

“With Courtland Sutton turning 31 this October and seeing a major drop in efficiency in 2025, it appears Waddle is set up perfectly to be the No. 1 wide receiver in Denver for the next several years. Waddle is valued as the WR20 in ECR, which feels like the floor outcome in PPR leagues.”

“After posting back-to-back 15+ PPR point-per-game seasons to start his NFL career, Waddle seemed destined to usurp Tyreek Hill as the Dolphins' top target earner and establish himself as a top-five fantasy wide receiver overall. Unfortunately, that time never came, as Waddle continued to play second fiddle in Miami.”

“Jaylen Waddle is a favorite draft target in the fifth round based on ADP.”
