Who Should I Start? Cam Skattebo or Jaydon Blue

Saturday, September 27, 1:15 AM

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo has emerged as the team's bell cow and enters a challenging Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers as a volume-based RB2. The Chargers' defense has been elite against running backs, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the position (14.57 FPPG) and boasting the NFL's best red zone defense with a 25% TD rate. Despite the tough matchup on paper, Skattebo has been a top-8 fantasy RB over the last two weeks, commanding a 52.7% timeshare and proving his versatility with eight receptions and two rushing touchdowns. While L.A. is stingy on touchdowns, they rank 24th in rushing yards allowed (92.3), meaning Skattebo's high-volume role should keep him productive.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer recently praised the work that rookie running back Jaydon Blue has been doing in practice, saying that Blue has "actually put together a couple really good weeks." A fifth-round pick out of Texas, Blue has been inactive for each of the Cowboys' first three games of the season. He appears to be firmly behind veteran running backs Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders for the time being in Dallas. While it's encouraging to hear Schottenheimer speak positively about Blue, the rookie should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in redraft leagues, at least until he logs an NFL snap.
