Where the draft room stands

This season through Week 5

Through Week 5, Deshaun Watson has been on the field for 100 percent of CLE snaps, dropped back 183 times and thrown 7.2 air yards an attempt.

He has been sacked or hit on 37 of 183 dropbacks and scrambled 16 times.

In Week 3 against CAR he completed 16 of 30 passes for 144 yards, threw 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions and ran 9 times for 47 yards.

In Week 5 against NYJ he completed 15 of 33 passes for 155 yards, threw 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions and ran 6 times for 40 yards.

Through Week 5, Cam Skattebo has been on the field for 65 percent of NYG snaps, taken 57 percent of the carries, drawn 7 percent of the targets and had 28 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 3 of the offence's 49 third down targets, had 3 of its 8 chances inside the five and seen 4 of its 24 two minute targets.

In Week 5 against WAS he carried 13 times for 59 yards, caught 2 of 3 targets for 12 yards and did not score.

Their 2025 seasons

The season feed carries no line for Deshaun Watson in the last completed season.

In 2025 Cam Skattebo played 8 games and scored 127.7 PPR points, 16.0 a game, finishing RB37.

He carried 101 times for 410 yards and 5 touchdowns, and caught 24 of 32 targets for 207 more yards.

That came to 12.6 carries a game at 4.1 yards a carry and 3.0 catches a game.

He was on the field for 54 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Side by side

Deshaun Watson is a quarterback and Cam Skattebo a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Deshaun Watson is off in Week 11 and Cam Skattebo in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

6.9 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
