Who Should I Start? Sean Tucker or Trey Benson

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker earned himself a larger role in the offense after scoring three touchdowns in Week 11. He followed up that performance with 42 rushing yards on 12 attempts during last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Now, it's unclear what kind of role Tucker is going to have with lead back Bucky Irving returning this weekend. The 24-year-old figures to still have a role, but this could turn into a three-back committee with Rachaad White involved as well. The Bucs figure to limit Irving during his first game back in the mix. Tucker should remain involved, but shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a low-end flex option for Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) was not seen practicing in the portion open to the media on Thursday, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Benson has now missed five straight practices, dating back to last week, making it more unlikely that he comes off Injured Reserve to play this Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. If the 23-year-old second-year RB misses yet another game, Bam Knight figures to once again do most of the heavy lifting after he had 11 carries for a season-high 62 yards while adding three catches for a season-high 36 yards and a touchdown in the Week 13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Emari Demercado (ankle) is trending in the right direction to return this weekend, though, so he could steal valuable backfield touches from Knight. Benson should be stashed in all fantasy football leagues, but he's running out of time to contribute with the fantasy playoffs looming.
