Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Trey Benson

Saturday, November 22, 7:17 PM

Last week, Chuba Hubbard played on 19% of the snaps, logged 21 rushing yards on four carries, and caught one pass for seven yards as he continued to operate as a backup RB. Since his return from a calf injury in Week 7, Hubbard has registered 117 rushing yards and is averaging 5.0 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. The fifth-year RB should only be rostered as a handcuff for Rico Dowdle. He will only be a fantasy asset if Dowdle misses time. At this point of the season, if you roster Hubbard and not Dowdle, you can simply cut the Panthers' backup RB.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) has been on Injured Reserve since Week 4 due to a knee injury. However, Benson was able to practice in a limited capacity heading into Week 12 and could be on track to make his return in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If Benson is cleared to play against Tampa Bay, Arizona may not be able to afford to work him in slowly. Running back Emari Demercado (ankle) missed Week 12 due to an ankle injury, and fellow Cardinals back Bam Knight (leg) suffered a lower leg injury late in Week 12 that could put his status for Week 13 in jeopardy as well. Across four games before getting injured, Benson recorded 224 scrimmage yards on 42 touches. Even in shallow leagues or leagues without IR roster slots, Benson should be a waiver-wire target heading into Week 13.
