BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Eno Benjamin made headlines this past week when he was released by the Cardinals out of nowhere. Unless there are behind-the-scenes details that haven't hit the media (which is very possible), it seems like Arizona didn't feel the need to roster the young back after James Conner's strong two-touchdown showing in Week 10. As a result, they quickly cut ties with Benjamin, who was immediately claimed off waivers by the Texans.
Benjamin demonstrated some good and some bad during his time in Arizona, but ultimately, he was viewed as one of the more promising, young backups in the NFL. This can be reflected in the fact that he was claimed by the very first team in the waiver order. The Saints, Seahawks, and Chiefs also made an effort to claim him. Benjamin's upside remains obvious as he begins the next chapter of his career in Houston.
Sure, he won't usurp up-and-coming rookie Dameon Pierce, but he should see significant volume, especially in the passing game. Notably, Benjamin is better in pass protection, posting a 53.0 PFF grade in that category (compared to Pierce's 42.2). As a result, he will earn snaps and opportunities, especially as Pierce continues to struggle; the rookie rushed 10 times for just eight yards in Week 11. Stash Benjamin because his role will grow very quickly as soon as he learns the ins and outs of Houston's offense.
