Cam Skattebo or Javonte Williams: Who Should You Start?

The call

• Consensus has him as RB20 at 13.7 projected PPR points; that's squarely in RB2 territory in a 12-team league, ahead of a typical waiver replacement.
• A 13% target share out of the backfield is the separator in PPR — it gives him a floor even if the ground work is split, and ESPN (2026-09-10) flagged him as a Week 1 lineup lock.
• Game script cooperates: a 1.5-point spread and a 23.5 implied team total point to a competitive game where the Giants keep feeding him rather than abandoning the run.
• The risk is the 52% snap share — he's not an every-down workhorse, so the ceiling depends on goal-line and passing-down usage rather than pure volume.

The call

• Workload is the driver: a 69% snap share plus a 9% target share means Williams is on the field for the passing downs too, which puts a PPR floor under him even if the run game stalls.
• A 25.0 implied team total is a strong scoring environment, and the -1.5 spread means no negative game script forcing him off the field — a lead here funnels carries his way late.
• Consensus has him RB16 at 15.5 projected points, comfortably inside the RB2 range in a 12-team PPR league, and he carries no injury designation.
• Only real risk is touchdown variance if the offense stalls in the red zone, but the volume alone clears a replacement-level flex.
