Alvin Kamara's Workload Intact or Committee Brewing in the Big Easy?

Tuesday, September 30, 9:08 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had another solid workload in Week 4 against the Bills, turning 19 touches into 72 yards. Over the last four seasons, Kamara has averaged 20.3 touches and 97.7 yards per game. So far in 2025, he is averaging 19.5 touches for only 76.3 yards. While the decline in production can be attributed to poor offensive line play and a struggling offense overall, fellow running back Kendre Miller had a strong outing in Buffalo with 11 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown. Kamara looks to be an RB2 with upside against the Giants, and is worth monitoring if Miller continues to eat away from his usual workhorse load.

Trey Benson Sidelined 4-6 Weeks After Knee Surgery

Wednesday, October 1, 2:19 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) is expected to miss four-to-six weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his meniscus, another setback for a backfield already reeling from the season-ending loss of James Conner (foot). Benson had been working into a steady role with 29 carries for 160 yards and 13 receptions for 64 yards through four games, but his absence now opens the door for Emari Demercado to take on feature-back responsibilities. Demercado should be added in all fantasy formats as he projects to see the bulk of opportunities in both the running and passing game, especially with Arizona lacking proven depth behind him. While Benson showed flashes of efficiency early, his return timetable places him on injured reserve and makes him droppable unless you have an IR spot available.
