Should I start Omar Cooper or Cam Skattebo in Week 7?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Cam Skattebo, and the board ranks him 134th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Omar Cooper is 1.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Cam Skattebo is 2.2 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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

Their 2025 seasons

Omar Cooper is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

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

Omar Cooper 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

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