Side by side

In 2025 Cam Skattebo scored 16.0 PPR points a game and DeVonta Smith 11.9, 4.1 a game between them.

DeVonta Smith finished WR20 and Cam Skattebo RB37, which are two different ladders.

DeVonta Smith is a wide receiver 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

DeVonta Smith is off in Week 10 and Cam Skattebo in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.1 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 the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the sample rather than the market-based projection when it does.
