Who Should I Start? Trey Benson or Ashton Jeanty

Monday, November 10, 9:48 AM

Arizona Cardinals' second-year running back out of Florida State, Trey Benson (knee), has missed the last five games with a knee injury, and remains one of, if not the best, IR stash for the 2025 fantasy football rest of season rankings. Benson became the starting running back for the Cardinals in Week 4 after James Conner (foot) was injured and was reported to miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Benson had shown flashes of success in his limited snap share with Conner, averaging 5.52 YPC through three games on 21 carries. Bam Knight and Emari Demercado are getting the bulk of the workload right now, but neither has done enough to run away with the job. Benson, upon his return, will immediately provide fantasy managers who held on with RB2 value.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty had 19 carries for 60 rushing yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos. He also caught three of his five targets for an additional three receiving yards. The rookie was relatively inefficient on the ground and through the air, but managers should be intrigued by his high-volume role and touchdown despite the loss. He played 87 percent of the offensive snaps on Thursday Night Football, maintaining a significant workload in a slightly negative game script scenario. He should continue to be viewed as a fringe top-12 fantasy running back.
