Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Trey Benson

Friday, December 5, 2:59 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 14 divisional matchup with the Buccaneers. Kamara was held out of practice with ankle and knee injuries and will now miss his second consecutive game. After a slow start in a Week 13 loss to the Dolphins, sixth-round rookie Devin Neal finished with 47 rushing yards on 14 carries while adding three catches for another 22 yards. He showed good decisiveness and burst, but struggled to find any space behind a banged-up and overmatched offensive line, evidenced by almost 94% of his rushing yardage coming after contact. Tampa Bay has been uncharacteristically soft against the run this season, so Neal remains a low-end RB2/flex play, especially in PPR formats, having earned 10 targets over the past two weeks.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) has possibly already taken his last snap this season. Benson has been working his way back from a knee injury he suffered in Week 4 that landed him on injured reserve. He had his practice window opened two weeks ago, logging a few limited sessions before not practicing last week. Per the rules, Benson must be activated within the 21-day window to play again this season. If not, he will remain on injured reserve. Time is running out for Benson to return, as he will need to be activated by next week to play again this year. Fantasy managers with an IR spot should continue to stash Benson until he's officially ruled out for the year. Bam Knight, Michael Carter, and Emari Demercado (ankle) will likely continue to split up the carries in the backfield with Benson sidelined.
