Trey Benson News
Wednesday, June 24, 8:58 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson had a golden opportunity to take over as his team's lead back in 2025 after Cardinals veteran running back James Conner suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 3. However, Benson himself then suffered a knee injury in Week 4 that ultimately ended his season as well. While Benson is expected to be fully healthy and ready to go for the start of 2026, the situation around him in Arizona has changed. The Cardinals signed running back Tyler Allgeier to a two-year contract in free agency and then drafted all-world running back prospect Jeremiyah Love third overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. Arizona also still currently has Conner on its roster, whom Benson has been unable to pass on the depth chart since he entered the league in 2023. A change in scenery could drastically alter Benson's dynasty outlook, but until that happens, his fantasy appeal is minimal.

Jarquez Hunter News
Sunday, June 7, 12:00 PM
A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Los Angeles Rams running back Jarquez Hunter appeared in just five games and did not record a single carry during his rookie season. With Rams running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum both appearing in all 17 games for Los Angeles, Hunter never had an opportunity to prove himself. Entering 2026, Williams and Corum remain atop the Rams running back depth chart and are coming off a season in which they combined to record over 2,300 yards from scrimmage and 19 touchdowns. Hunter may not even be guaranteed to win the RB3 role in Los Angeles, as veteran back Ronnie Rivers is also on the team's roster entering training camp. Hunter recorded 1,356 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns in his final collegiate season at Auburn, so he could have some untapped upside. However, his path to playing time in Los Angeles is hard to see. Dynasty managers may want to consider moving on from Hunter ahead of 2026.
