Cam Skattebo Start or sit, Week 5

This week's outlook

Skattebo is healthy and priced at $6000 after a strong season-opening workload. Washington's run defense will test whether he keeps earning early-down carries and receiving work. If he sustains the touches seen in Weeks 1-2, he's a viable flex; a reduced role would lower his ceiling.
