Pierre Strong Jr. News
Saturday, December 13, 2:27 PM
The Green Bay Packers have elevated running back Pierre Strong Jr. from their practice squad to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. With top Green Bay running backs Josh Jacobs (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (illness) both questionable for Sunday, the Packers could be forced to turn to Strong Jr. and Chris Brooks in the backfield. The 27-year-old Strong Jr. has yet to appear in a game so far in 2025. Across 14 games with the Cleveland Browns in 2024, he recorded 212 scrimmage yards on 40 touches. Brooks has just 66 total carries across 37 career NFL games, so it's unclear who Green Bay would turn to as the lead back if both Jacobs and Wilson are out. Fantasy managers may want to stash Strong Jr. off the waiver wire just in case he finds himself in a prominent role come game time on Sunday.

Trey Benson News
Monday, August 24, 1:01 PM
The Arizona Cardinals waived running back Trey Benson (knee) with an injured designation on Monday in order to make room on the roster for linebacker Josh Sweat, who was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to Darren Urban of the team's official website. Benson, a former third-rounder in 2024 from Florida State, only played in four games last year due to a season-ending left-knee injury, and he had recently missed time in training camp with more issues with the same knee. In two seasons in Arizona, Benson played in just 17 total games and racked up 451 yards on 92 carries, averaging 4.9 yards per attempt. Another NFL team will probably have interest in adding Benson to their RB room, but only if he can get over his left-knee issues. Going forward in Arizona, the Cardinals head into the 2026 season with Tyler Allgeier, rookie first-rounder Jeremiyah Love (ankle), and veteran James Conner (foot) as their top-three RBs.
