The Arizona Cardinals will visit the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Trey Benson.
Is Benson Playing in Week 10?
Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Benson (knee) is doing well but isn’t ready to practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
We’ll continue to monitor the Cardinals’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Benson in Week 10?
Trey Benson (arthroscopic surgery on his meniscus) is eligible to return from injured reserve this week and should he trend in that direction (initial timetable: 4-6 weeks), he profiles as the leader of this backfield.
These teams played back in Week 4, and Arizona ran 17 times for 89 yards, but Kyler Murray was responsible for 41 of those yards on five attempts. Arizona entered with a clear game plan (Murray: 41 pass attempts, six sacks, and five rush attempts), and it largely worked with Emari Demercado tying the game with a TD reception before the Seahawks walked it off with a 52-yard FG.
Benson last played in Weeks 3-4, and he was one of seven backs with at least four targets and 35 rushing yards in both of those weeks. The others:
- Jonathan Taylor
- Saquon Barkley
- Christian McCaffrey
- Bijan Robinson
- Breece Hall
- Omarion Hampton
I don’t love this matchup, and there is certainly injury risk to consider should Benson make his return, but given the lack of depth at the position league-wide, if he plays for Arizona, I think he plays for you.
