Who Should I Start? Blake Corum or Trey Benson

Tuesday, November 18, 10:32 AM

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum continues to get significant opportunities in the team's rushing game, and he can be a deep-league addition if you're looking for running back options on the waiver wire. Corum only had 10 rushing yards in Week 11 against the Seahawks, but he still did get eight carries while playing 16 snaps (31% of the offensive total). He's still working behind Kyren Williams, but he has averaged 11.5 carries per game over his last four contests, and he continues to play about one-third of the Rams' snaps. He and the Rams have a favorable schedule the rest of the season, with the Buccaneers this Sunday night and then matchups against the Panthers and Cardinals, who have been good running back matchups this season.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) was limited for the second day this week on Thursday as he attempts to return from a knee injury that has kept him out since Week 4, according to Zach Gershman of AZCardinals.com. Benson's 21-day practice window was opened on Wednesday, which means he's eligible to come off Injured Reserve and play this Sunday against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars. The 23-year-old had surgery for a meniscus injury that he suffered in Week 4. Benson will most likely need a full practice on Friday for Arizona to even consider activating him from IR. The team's backfield is beat up going into the weekend, with Emari Demercado (ankle) already ruled out and Bam Knight (ankle) being limited so far in practice. All signs are pointing to Benson missing this week, with Knight and Michael Carter sharing backfield duties versus the Jags.
