Trey Benson
2025 Season Outlooks
You'll consider drafting Benson late because he's a second-year backup to an older RB, and that's really about it. As a rookie he played 15 or fewer snaps in 12 of 13 games last season, never really getting the chance to develop rhythm as a runner. Of his 63 carries, 36.5% of them went five-plus yards, which is nice, but that's not enough to really buy into his game and say he'll for-sure unseat James Conner as Arizona's top running back. Only Fantasy drafters who take Conner with a top-60 pick and those who like to stash late-round RBs will seriously consider Benson in the Round 10-11 range.
Benson is entering his second season after playing a minimal role as a rookie. The 2024 third-round pick never truly pushed James Conner for work and instead was limited to 69 touches in 13 games while sharing change-of-pace duties with Emari Demercado. Benson was effective (4.6 YPC, 2.1 YAC), and though it's logical to expect a larger role in his second season, Conner remains the team's lead back after signing an extension in November. Benson won't have standalone value early on, but he's an intriguing insurance target considering Conner is entering his age-30 season having never played a full regular season.
