  • : Sam Darnold: Listed Out (Quadriceps) (Sleeper injury feed)
  • : Drew Lock: Questionable to Out (Elbow) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Drew Lock: 96 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Cam Skattebo's 43 percent of the snaps and 38 percent of the carries. 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 size308 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 Drew Lock, and the board ranks him 122nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Cam Skattebo, and the board ranks him 123rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Drew Lock's market-based projection is 15.3 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 6 market sources. That is the 38th highest figure of the 224 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.

Cam Skattebo was available for 3 games more.

Side by side

In 2025 Cam Skattebo scored 16.0 PPR points a game and Drew Lock 0.0, 15.9 a game between them.

Drew Lock finished QB73 and Cam Skattebo RB37, which are two different ladders.

Drew Lock 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

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

Drew Lock is listed as questionable on the injury report.

Cam Skattebo is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

Cam Skattebo has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.

Both players in full
