Trey Benson News
Sunday, May 31, 9:00 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson remains largely unproven since the team spent a third-round pick on him in the 2024 NFL Draft, and with the investments made at the position in the 2026 offseason, that seems unlikely to change as he heads into his third professional season. The Cardinals spent $8 million in guaranteed money to land Tyler Allgeier in free agency before using the third overall pick on top prospect Jeremiyah Love. With James Conner also back in the fold after, like Benson, missing most of the 2025 season, Arizona features one of the most loaded running back rooms in the league. With the depth ahead of him muddying Benson's chances of even finding value as an insurance back, dynasty managers could be tempted to move on from the underperforming Day 2 pick, but at RotoBaller's dynasty RB59, he remains a hold as there's still a chance he could land in a more optimal situation if the Cardinals opt to move him or any of their other backs before the season starts.

Jarquez Hunter News
Saturday, May 2, 5:25 AM
Los Angeles Rams running back Jarquez Hunter did not take an offensive snap as a rookie, seeing the field in only five games, exclusively on special teams. The 2025 fourth-round pick was a popular sleeper pick to immediately usurp primary backup duties from Blake Corum following a similarly quiet rookie season from the 2024 third-rounder. Instead, it was Corum who enjoyed a second-year breakout, finishing as the fantasy RB17 over the final six weeks of the season, leading to calls from some that he could see closer to a 50/50 split with Kyren Williams in 2026. The Rams did not add a running back in the NFL Draft, so Hunter's role as the third back on the depth chart seems locked in, but without an injury ahead of him to either Williams or Corum, expectations remain low heading into year two. For dynasty managers with the luxury, he should still be held at the end of benches, as his skillset matches Sean McVay's offense, and he may have the most natural athleticism of any back on the roster. That said, at RotoBaller's RB85, he's a prime cut candidate for contending managers needing to free up roster space for incoming rookies.
