Trey Benson News
Thursday, July 16, 12:48 PM
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson finally had a shot at replacing James Conner last September, then his own knee injury erased the opportunity. A meniscus procedure ended his season after four games. He had been productive in that brief run, taking 29 carries for 160 yards and catching 13 of 16 targets for another 64, but Arizona spent the offseason building around other backs. Conner reworked his deal to stay. Tyler Allgeier signed for two years. Then the Cardinals used the third overall pick on Jeremiyah Love, who is expected to rise to the top of Mike LaFleur's depth chart. Benson was still rehabbing during the offseason program, though the team expects him back for training camp. Even healthy, finding weekly work will be difficult. Love, Allgeier, and Conner are the obvious top three, and Benson has appeared in only 17 games across two seasons. The 4.9 career yards per carry keep a little intrigue alive, but this is not an automatic buy-low. Contenders cannot count on him, and rebuilders should be willing to move him for a useful return rather than wait for the depth chart to get even tighter.

Cam Skattebo News
Monday, July 13, 7:33 PM
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said that second-year running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) is expected to be ready to participate early in training camp this summer, according to ESPN. Harbaugh added that Skattebo is further ahead of receiver Malik Nabers (knee) "based on the type of injury." Skattebo suffered a season-ending dislocated ankle in Week 8 of his rookie season and required surgery, but he took part in some 11-on-11 team drills at mandatory minicamp in June. Barring a setback during training camp or the preseason, Skattebo is on track to be a full-go for the start of the 2026 regular season in Week 1 for a divisional showdown against the Dallas Cowboys. Tyronce Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary are still in New York's backfield, but Skattebo, a fourth-rounder from Arizona State last year, has every intention of earning RB1 duties in his second season in an offense that should feature the run heavily under Harbaugh. Skattebo had 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries and added 24 receptions for 207 yards and two more scores in his eight games as a rookie, and RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 20 fantasy RB going into the 2026 campaign.
