Should I start Dohnte Meyers or Cam Skattebo in Week 9?

Updated Nov 4, 6:41 PM ET.

Start Cam Skattebo: 43 percent of the snaps and 38 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Dohnte Meyers's 43 percent of the snaps and 7 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap

  • Board size309 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Dohnte Meyers, and the board ranks him 137th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Cam Skattebo, and the board ranks him 139th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Dohnte Meyers's market-based projection is 4.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 136th highest figure of the 225 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Cam Skattebo is 3.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 9 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Cam Skattebo's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Their 2025 seasons

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

Dohnte Meyers 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

Cam Skattebo is off in Week 8. No bye is listed for Dohnte Meyers.

Cam Skattebo is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer
