Who Should I Start? Trey Benson or TreVeyon Henderson

The Arizona Cardinals are opening the practice window for running back Trey Benson (knee) to return from Injured Reserve, according to Tyler Drake of AZ Sports. Benson has been on IR since Week 4 due to a knee injury. While this move does not guarantee that he will be active for Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, it's clearly a positive sign that Benson's return will come in the next few weeks. Across four games this season, the 23-year-old has recorded 224 scrimmage yards on 42 touches. With running back James Conner (ankle) out for the season, Benson profiles as the clear RB1 in Arizona once fully healthy. If Benson remains sidelined for Week 12, the Cardinals will likely turn to a combination of Bam Knight and Michael Carter to handle backfield snaps against Jacksonville.

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson has played well in Rhamondre Stevenson's (toe) absence the last three games, averaging 5.6 yards per carry for 264 yards and four touchdowns on 47 rushing attempts. Henderson also caught 10 passes for 66 yards and another touchdown. However, head coach Mike Vrabel was non-committal when asked if there will be a more even workload between the two once Stevenson is back from his injury, according to Tom Carroll of WEEI. "I think we'll probably have to have that conversation when it's certain that we're gonna have Rhamondre. He's gonna work through practice today, and we'll see where things go. TreVeyon's helped us, Rhamondre's helped us, Terrell [Jennings'] helped us." Stevenson returned to a limited practice on Wednesday, but it's unclear if he'll play in Week 12 against the Bengals. Fantasy managers who have Henderson are surely hoping that the impressive rookie has done enough recently to warrant a bigger workload when Stevenson is back.
