Who Should I Start? Trey Benson or Jaydon Blue

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.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue was a healthy inactive in the team's last game in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. After being inactive for the team's first four games of the season, Blue was finally active for his NFL debut in Week 5 against the New York Jets after Miles Sanders (ankle, knee) was placed on injured reserve. The rookie fifth-rounder out of Texas served as the clear No. 2 back behind starter Javonte Williams, handling 22 carries for 65 yards and adding one catch (one target) for five yards in Weeks 5 through 8 before being made inactive again in Week 9. The lack of receiving usage was disappointing to see, as that is one of the most appealing parts of Blue's prospect profile, but he essentially just spelled Williams and didn't see many creative play designs to get him the ball in space and use his 4.38 speed. It remains to be seen if Blue will play in the coming weeks and what his usage will look like if he is active.
