Trey Benson Should Be Faded In Week 13
1 month agoArizona Cardinals rookie running back Trey Benson hasn't been a starting fantasy option all year long while working behind starter James Conner, and that won't change in a tough Week 13 matchup on the road against the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. The Vikings defense has been stingy against the run, allowing just 14.8 half-PPR points to the position per game, which is the third-fewest in the league. Meanwhile, the 21-year-old third-rounder out of Florida State has seen double-digit carries just twice in his first 10 NFL games. Arizona wasn't able to get anything going on the ground last week in the loss to Seattle, either, with Benson's 18 rushing yards on four carries leading the team. Benson's long-term fantasy value took a hit with the Conner extension announced on Saturday, and he won't be a realistic fantasy starter with minimal volume in a bad matchup this weekend.
