Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Trey Benson

Tuesday, January 6, 6:14 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) was listed as a full-go on the team's estimated injury report on Tuesday, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Adams was held out of the final three regular-season games as a way to ensure that he'd be closer to 100% for a postseason run. The 33-year-old should be active for Saturday's Wild-Card matchup against the hosting Carolina Panthers, and he shouldn't have any restrictions in terms of workload. Despite missing time going into the playoffs, the Pro Bowl pass-catcher should be viewed as a top-five fantasy receiver in playoff leagues. Adams finished the 2025 campaign with a league-high 14 touchdown receptions despite missing the final three games, and he added a healthy 60 receptions for 789 yards in his 14 games. Adams is quarterback Matthew Stafford's No. 1 target in the red zone.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) will not be activated off Injured Reserve for the team's Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Since Benson will not return within his 21-day activation window, he will revert to season-ending IR and will not be eligible to return in 2025. Benson suffered a knee injury in Week 4 that was serious enough to land him on IR, but was not thought at the time to be season-ending. It's unclear whether the 23-year-old suffered a setback once his activation window was opened, or if the 3-10 Cardinals are simply choosing to be cautious with their potential running back of the future. Either way, Benson should now be completely off the radar of redraft fantasy managers for the remainder of 2025. His absence ups the value of Cardinals running backs Bam Knight and Michael Carter, who should continue to see the majority of the team's backfield snaps. Emari Demercado (ankle) could play a role in Arizona as well once he returns from the ankle injury that has sidelined him since Week 11.
