Who Should I Start? Blake Corum or Trey Benson

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum had five carries against the Jets on Sunday afternoon and totaled 14 yards on his five carries. He also had a run of 32 yards which was called back due to an illegal motion from tight end Hunter Long. Corum has shown explosive upside but has yet to have a breakthrough game while operating as the backup for Kyren Williams. Williams hasn't been breaking big plays but continually moves the chains and finishes with good totals. Corum has potential and has at least five carries in three of his last four games, but he isn't getting enough work to be viable in standard formats.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. Benson, a rookie, has consistently operated as the Cardinals' No. 2 running back behind James Conner, totaling 291 rushing yards, 59 receiving yards, and one touchdown this year. With Benson sidelined and Emari Demercado (back) on injured reserve, the Cardinals will call upon DeeJay Dallas to back up Conner in Week 16. For fantasy purposes, Conner, who was the overall RB1 last week, is the only Arizona running back worth rostering and starting on Sunday.
