Trey Benson

In the backfield back in Week 10, Trey Benson led the Cardinals' rushing efforts with 10 carries for 62 yards, averaging an impressive 6.2 yards per carry, with a long of 14 yards.
James Conner had a balanced game, rushing 12 times for 33 yards and a touchdown, though his 2.8 YPC was more modest. Benson had four carries in the first half for 28 yards, with one reception. Conner finished with a 54% snap share to Benson's 27%. The rookie tied a season-high 12 touches in Week 10 after seeing nine in Week 9. Again, a friendly reminder to make sure that Benson is not available in any league formats for the upside he could deliver if there's a Conner injury. Conner is 12th in touches this season and has been banged up here and there. We know about his long injury history.

Earlier in his rookie season, Trey Benson did not look sharp. He has turned the corner and flashed a few times despite living in James Conner's shadow. Conner is having a career year for the Cardinals, but his injury history is extensive. Benson would be a huge priority on waivers if Conner were to go down.
