Dynasty Running Back Buy Candidates

Trey Benson, Arizona Cardinals

Trey Benson had some solid showings in his four games to open this season, but a meniscus tear ended his season early. It sounds like he attempted to return later in the season but likely suffered a setback in practice as he tried to ramp up to game action. The 2024 third-round pick showed a lot of promise in college due to his explosive ability to run between the tackles and absorb contact, but he suffered a major knee injury early in his college career. Multiple knee injuries are risky, but I know a lot of people still believe in Benson.

With Emari Demercado and Zonovan Knight hitting free agency and the Cardinals having a chance to save $8 million by moving on from James Conner, there's a chance that a healthy Benson could play a key role in 2026. Arizona won't go into the year with him as the clear lead back, but he should be in the mix for snaps. We've waited a long time, fellow Benson believers, and 2026 might finally be our year.

Tyler Allgeier, Atlanta Falcons

Tyler Allgeier has shown flashes of greatness in Atlanta, but there's only so much a guy can do when Bijan Robinson is ahead of him in the pecking order. Luckily for Allgeier's fantasy managers, the 25-year-old is a free agent this offseason and should have several suitors. Despite Robinson's presence, Allgeier should surpass 500 rushing yards in Week 18, and he's found the end zone eight times on the ground. He's not a huge contributor in the passing game, but he can handle the pressure of an early-down workload and might be able to find the end zone double-digit times if he lands in the right spot.

What an effort by Tyler Allgeier for the @AtlantaFalcons TD!

Of course, "the right spot" is the thing here. We don't know where Allgeier will end up, so we don't know what to really expect. More than likely, he winds up as the head of a running back committee, maybe somewhere like Houston or Kansas City. And hey -- that's fine! Sharing a backfield with Woody Marks or Brashard Smith is a great result.

There's also the scenario where he winds up with a stronger grasp on a lead-back role, maybe in Dallas if Javonte Williams gets a payday elsewhere, or in Minnesota if the team decides to move on from Aaron Jones Sr. Somewhere like that could give him RB2 appeal, and his dynasty price would soar as soon as he signed there. That's part of why you should take the risk and go after him before free agency.

Dynasty Running Back Sell Candidate

Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams

It took until RB Blake Corum had his second season in the NFL for him to finally start taking meaningful work from Williams. Williams has been the lead back for the Rams three years in a row now and has had quite good production this season. But the Rams have now invested solid draft capital into the RB position two years in a row, selecting Corum in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft class and rookie Jarquez Hunter in the 2024 draft, in the fourth round. Rams head coach Sean McVay has clearly shown this season that he prefers a committee backfield.

Unlike last season, where Williams would handle nearly all the backfield touches when the games were within reach and in important situations, this season, Corum took a much more significant portion of RB touches, even in crucial situations. He was finally starting to see a nice ramp-up in touches before he injured his ankle in Week 17. But that led to Williams having eight games in which he had fewer than 15 carries, which is highly unusual compared to his previous seasons' workloads.

Williams' efficiency actually went up compared to last season, but things could get ugly if Hunter starts getting involved. He was McVay's favorite Day 3 player in the draft, and while he was in the doghouse his entire rookie season, he's quite talented. Williams' talent isn't in line with his value in dynasty leagues. His presence on one of the NFL's best offenses drives up his value, which is reasonable, but players like him often start to lose work to other RBs on their team. A rising tide lifts all boats indiscriminately. You can probably fetch a great return for him in most leagues.
