• Cardinals' Trey Benson: Misses practice

  9H ago • By RotoWire

  Benson (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Benson injured his ankle during Sunday's win over the Patriots and never returned. He's now missed consecutive practices and likely would need to participate Friday to have a shot at playing Sunday at Carolina. With Benson in danger of missing the game and Emari Demercado (back) on injured reserve, the Cardinals may give James Conner an even larger workload than usual.

  Benson (ankle) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Benson was removed from the second half of this past Sunday's win against the Patriots due to an ankle injury, which so far is keeping him off the practice field to begin Week 16 prep. With Emari Demercado (back) on injured reserve, DeeJay Dallas is the only other running back on the Cardinals' active roster aside from starter James Conner. Meanwhile, Michael Carter and Tony Jones loom as backfield options on the practice squad.

• Cardinals' Trey Benson: Accounts for 19 yards in loss

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Benson carried twice for 15 yards and recorded a four-yard reception on his lone target in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks. While James Conner remains locked in as Arizona's lead back, Benson has been effective as a change-of-pace option and could be moving ahead of Emari Demercado as the team's preferred backup. The rookie third-round pick is averaging a healthy 4.6 yards per carry over his 58 totes on the season and has also made the most of his opportunities in the passing game, recording a 6-59-0 receiving line on six targets through 12 appearances. Though Benson played just 10 of the Cardinals' 71 snaps on offense in the loss, that was still enough to match or surpass Demercado's snap count (eight) for the third time in the last four games.

• Cardinals' Trey Benson: Week 14 Waiver Priority List

  17D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Benson has cooled off the past two games with seven carries for 38 yards and no catches against Seattle and Minnesota after he combined for 18 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 43 yards on three targets in his two previous outings against Chicago and the Jets. That said, he's still a lottery ticket to stash behind James Conner, and Benson is worth adding in all leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.
