Bijan Robinson vs Cam Skattebo

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

Bijan Robinson is the better fantasy play this season.

Bijan Robinson is clearly the better fantasy option heading into 2026. With 19.5 PPG and 2,298 total yards in 2025, the production separation is too wide to overcome on matchup alone. Cam Skattebo (14.5 PPG) is a hold, not a sell, but roster Bijan Robinson as the starter and Cam Skattebo as depth.

High confidence: stats strongly favor the leader, and the gap is unlikely to close on matchup alone.
