Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or Trey Benson

Tuesday, November 11, 9:39 AM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had a solid Week 9 with 11 carries for 49 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Bills. He picked up more work with Isiah Pacheco (knee) on the sidelines, but it is possible that Pacheco will return in Week 11 against the Broncos. Hunt has six touchdowns on the season and four scores in the last five weeks. The Broncos have been a tough matchup for running backs this season, but Hunt has touchdown-dependent upside if you are looking for running back help or are desperate for a flex play this week.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) could quickly become a hot commodity in fantasy circles as he nears a return from injured reserve. Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that he did not have an update on the running back's status, but he is now eligible to have his practice window opened at any time. Fellow running back James Conner (ankle) will miss the rest of the year, so Benson figures to have a clear hold of the No. 1 spot in the backfield upon his return, giving Benson rest-of-season potential even if he doesn't play in Week 11. Some redraft managers lost their nerve and dropped him during the IR stint, which would make him an easy addition, but he's also a sensible trade target for managers thinking about making a playoff push.
