Who Should I Start? Kendre Miller or Trey Benson

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller rushed 10 times for 41 yards in the 26-14 victory over the Giants. He out-carried starting running back Alvin Kamara 10-8 but was nearly unused in the passing game, catching just one pass for eight yards on one target. Miller's snap count continues to climb, hitting a season-high 39% share. He is a low-end RB3/Flex option for Week 6, but with trade rumors surrounding Kamara and other Saints veterans, fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Miller's workload moving forward.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) is expected to miss four-to-six weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his meniscus, another setback for a backfield already reeling from the season-ending loss of James Conner (foot). Benson had been working into a steady role with 29 carries for 160 yards and 13 receptions for 64 yards through four games, but his absence now opens the door for Emari Demercado to take on feature-back responsibilities. Demercado should be added in all fantasy formats as he projects to see the bulk of opportunities in both the running and passing game, especially with Arizona lacking proven depth behind him. While Benson showed flashes of efficiency early, his return timetable places him on injured reserve and makes him droppable unless you have an IR spot available.
