Who Should I Start? Trey Benson or Jaydon Blue

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson is poised to take a step forward, according to the team's head coach Jonathan Gannon. Despite a quiet rookie season, the Cardinals are still high on their former third-round pick. Benson rushed for 291 yards on 63 carries while scoring one touchdown on the ground in 13 games last season. James Conner remains the lead back in Arizona and that isn't going to change this summer. Benson should enter the season as the primary backup and is hopefully going to get more involved. Despite that, Benson probably won't have weekly fantasy value unless Conner goes down at some point.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer had more good things to say about rookie running back Jaydon Blue at training camp on Thursday. "He's electric when he gets the ball," Schottenheimer said. Blue, a fifth-round selection this April, has quickly distanced himself from a report before training camp suggesting the 21-year-old RB was "borderline lazy." Since then, he's done nothing but impress with "good burn" and elite speed and pass-catching ability as he competes for playing time in 2025. He's also seen work with the first-team offense and didn't disappoint. Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders came into camp as the favorites for most of the early-season touches, but Dallas may be re-evaluating that right now. Blue's fantasy stock is most definitely on the rise and he should be a popular late-round dart throw at RB.
