Rachaad White News
Friday, October 9, 9:12 AM
Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White (shoulder) missed the team's Week 4 loss to the Colts and has been a limited practice participant to begin the week, but according to team senior writer Zach Selby, he has been cleared to play in a Week 5 divisional clash with the Giants. White has averaged 10.3 opportunities per game, but in his absence, veteran running back Austin Ekeler stepped in less than a week after signing with the team and handled six opportunities out of the gate. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt still leading the backfield, the division of labor between White and Ekeler bears monitoring, though neither makes for a viable start in a game that could see fewer receiving opportunities than the pass-heavy script Washington was forced into a week ago in London.

Trey Benson News
Saturday, October 10, 11:48 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) is already set to miss the entire 2026 season, and he will likely have trouble carving out a meaningful role when he returns to action next year. This Cardinals team features a very impressive one-two punch of Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeir, and there's no real opportunity for a third running back to carve out fantasy value as long as those two backs are healthy. At this point, fantasy managers might be rooting for the Cardinals to release Benson from IR with an injury settlement. He has already missed a full year with a meniscus injury, so he's presumably somewhat close to being healthy. If a new opportunity presents itself with a different team, Benson could have some fantasy relevance, depending on the landing spot. However, as long as he's a Cardinal and playing behind Love and Allgeier, he has no dynasty value. Managers should feel okay about dropping Benson at this point.
