Who Should I Start? Blake Corum or Trey Benson

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum had plenty of hype entering the 2024-25 campaign, considering head coach Sean McVay made it seem the rookie would have a routine role in the offense. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened, with the 2024 No. 83 overall pick accumulating only 28 carries for 101 yards in 10 games this season. Without a doubt, Kyren Williams is the top option out of the backfield, so unless he goes down with an injury, Corum has no business in any fantasy lineup, including for the Rams' Sunday Night Football clash with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Arizona Cardinals rookie Trey Benson has begun to slowly find a role in the offense and could be in store to see a solid workload in their Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. During Week 9, the rookie logged eight carries with one target. Then, in Week 10, Benson earned a season-high ten attempts and two targets in their decisive victory over the New York Jets. During this two-game stretch, Benson has averaged an impressive 5.5 average yards per carry. Before this, Benson saw just six rushing attempts during Weeks 6 through 8. While fantasy managers should still expect James Connor to operate as the clear leader of the backfield, Benson could be a viable low-end flex option in 14+ team formats, especially if the Cardinals are playing with a lead. In addition, given how well he is running the ball, he could produce a solid fantasy stat line, albeit in a limited role as he has in the past two games.
