ARI Trey Benson
NFL player. Position: RB. Team: ARI.
Quick Facts
- Position: RB
- Team: ARI (Arizona Cardinals)
2026 Outlook
Trey Benson has flashed good football at times but has lacked consistent playing time to reach his full potential. Before a 2025 season-ending injury, he was the Cardinals' RB1 when James Conner went down. However, in 2026, the Cardinals drafted Jeremiyah Love in the draft, effectively rendering Benson as a backup once again. His value is currently empty, and he's a prime trade candidate. Any trade will put him into an RB2 role worth owning as a handcuff to a featured back. Best landing spots include the Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants, teams that lack solidified RB2s (behind Samaje Perine and Tyrone Tracy respectively). A change of scenery could unlock Benson's upside if he lands in a situation with a clearer path to carries. (per 4 NFL Trades That Could Unleash Fantasy Football Stars Including Justin Jefferson)
