Who Should I Start? Cam Skattebo or Quinshon Judkins

Saturday, October 18, 2:17 AM

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo's incredible emergence makes him a must-start, albeit risky, low-end RB1/high-end RB2 for the tough road matchup in Denver. Skattebo, currently the 10th-ranked fantasy RB averaging 15.22 points per game, is coming off a massive 28 fantasy point performance where he rushed for 98 yards and three touchdowns against the Eagles. This week, his volume will be tested against the Broncos' elite defense, which ranks 4th against fantasy running backs, allowing only 17.47 fantasy points per game. Crucially, the Denver defense has been a red-zone wall, ranking 1st in the NFL by allowing a minuscule 28.6% touchdown rate and a league-low two rushing touchdowns all season, directly threatening Skattebo's primary source of his five touchdowns. Skattebo's immense workload and role near the goal line, however, keep his ceiling high despite the difficult on-paper matchup against a run defense allowing just 89 rushing yards per game.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins has been one of the few bright spots for his team's offense through six games in 2025. The rookie running back has now rushed for 383 yards and two touchdowns while adding nine catches for 62 yards in five games. Judkins will be looking to bounce back in Week 7 after he turned in his slowest output of the season last week as the Pittsburgh Steelers held him to just 36 yards on 12 carries. Judkins has a good shot at a big afternoon in Week 7 as he will face off against the Miami Dolphins at home. Miami's defense has been quite generous to opposing running backs this season, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game so far. Judkins can be trusted as a low-end RB1 heading into Week 7.
