RB
New York GiantsQ
- Teammate Malik Nabers (a top target) is questionable.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how RBs have played against the Cowboys in the 2026 season.
RB1 = the highest-scoring RB against Cowboys in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Cam Skattebo should do vs the CowboysSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Cowboys, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Cam Skattebo has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Cowboys opponents to line them up with: the best RB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Cam Skattebo will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Cowboys avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Cam Skattebo's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Cam Skattebo usually produces.
Projected is Cam Skattebo's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Cowboys were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

Difference is what the defense allows minus what Skattebo averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Start / Sit · Cam SkatteboGood confidence · 14.9 proj pts7/10 start
- Cam Skattebo averages 11.7 PPR points over 6 games (recent-weighted 12.1) and has played as the team's RB1.
- The Cowboys have allowed 19.1 points to RB1s over 8 games (+19% vs league). The model applies 73% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +14% adjustment.
- Last season's average (16.0) is blended in at 25% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Injury report: Questionable. The projection assumes the player plays.
- Projection: 14.9 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 20.9.
- A statistical model from box scores, Vegas lines, weather and injury tags. It cannot see role changes or in-game events.
Prediction & chance to scoreCam Skattebo vs the Cowboys
Prediction for Cam Skattebo
Nobody knows which slot Cam Skattebo will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Cowboys.
I predict about 14.9 points for Cam Skattebo if playing as a RB1. Cam Skattebo has averaged 11.7 over 6 games, and the Cowboys have given up 19.1 to RB1s (+19% vs the league average of 16.1).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Cam Skattebo scored: Wk 1 14.1, Wk 2 9.5, Wk 3 13.0, Wk 4 7.6, Wk 5 7.1, Wk 7 19.1. Average 11.7; weighted toward recent games it is 13.1.
2. The defense. Over 8 games, the Cowboys allowed 19.1 points to their opponent's RB1. The league average for that slot is 16.1, so that is +19%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 8 defensive games, only 73% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +14% adjustment (x1.14).
4. Result. 13.1 x 1.14 = 14.9. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Cam Skattebo is to reach it as a RB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (14.9) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 6.0 points, leaning on Cam Skattebo's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical RB swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 15.
With only 6 games of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.
