The market-based projections

Their 2025 seasons

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

Side by side

Ja'Kobi Lane 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

Ja'Kobi Lane is off in Week 13 and Cam Skattebo in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.
