ADVICE

Blow Your Waiver Budget For Trey Benson

  • Pick up Trey Benson aggressively after James Conner's injury because Benson will receive heavy volume in Arizona's run-heavy offense.
  • Treat him as an immediate RB2 with weekly-start upside and RB1 potential in specific matchups.
INSIGHT

Benson's Early Pass-Game Role Raises Ceiling

  • Trey Benson already held a 12.5% target share despite a part-time role, indicating pass-game involvement if he becomes the every-down back.
  • That dual-role usage raises his fantasy ceiling beyond pure rushing volume.
ADVICE

Protect Handcuffs And Keep Explosive Backups

  • Treat Blake Corum as a valuable handcuff and potential short-term league saver if Kyron Williams misses time.
  • Avoid dropping Basial Tootin unless you need bench spots; his explosiveness makes him worth keeping.
