Trey Benson Worth an Immediate Start Upon Return?
Since returning to practice before the team's Week 12 loss to the Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) has been a limited participant in all reported practices, including Wednesday's first session of the week in preparation for a Week 13 matchup with the Buccaneers. Benson has not played since a Week 4 loss to the Seahawks in which he injured his meniscus, requiring in-season surgery. In his absence, the Cardinals have gotten contributions from Bam Knight, Michael Carter, and Emari Demercado, though Knight and Demercado also began the week as limited practice participants, and none of the committee members have carved out a particularly inspiring role from a fantasy perspective. After losing James Conner (foot) to a gruesome Week 3 injury, the Cardinals' short-lived plan was to turn the entire backfield over to Benson. Now, as he nears a return, the plan may still be in place. While managers with the luxury of taking a wait-and-see approach should be in no hurry to force Benson back into their lineup following a prolonged absence, those desperately fighting for a playoff berth may be forced to start him as soon as he is made available.
