    Cardinals placed Trey Benson (ankle) on injured reserve.
    It ends his season. Benson never really came close to grabbing a full share of carries from James Conner, maxing out at 11 carries for 10 yards in Week 2. It was a fairly disappointing rookie season from a dynasty perspective, one capped with the fact that the Cardinals extended Conner’s contract in-season. Benson finishes with a 63/291/1 rushing line and six receptions for 59 yards on his only six targets. Entering the second year of his rookie deal, Benson will need to take a big step forward this offseason to justify the early third-round pick the Cardinals spent on him.

    Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) is active for Week 17 against the Rams.
    NFL Insider Albert Breer reported that Conner was expected to play despite the questionable tag, with the team’s inactives 90 minutes prior to kickoff confirming his report. Fellow running back Trey Benson is inactive, leaving the likely bulk of work to Conner for as long as his body holds up. Also inactive for the Cardinals are S Jammie Robinson, S Joey Blount, LB Milo Eifler, LB Benton Whitley, TE Travix Vokolek, and WR Xavier Weaver.

    NFL Insider Albert Breer reports the Cardinals expect to have James Conner (knee) for Week 17’s game against the Rams.
    Conner was hit with a questionable tag after the Cardinals’ final practice of the week, but Breer reports the team expects him to play against the Rams, who are still battling for their playoff lives in the NFC. Rookie Trey Benson’s (ankle) status is considered “up in the air,” according to Breer, but even if he is active, it’s hard to imagine him having much of an impact with Conner also on the field. Conner will profile as a fringe RB1/RB2 against a Rams defense that’s allowed the 12th-most PPR points per game to opposing RBs since Week 12.

    Trey Benson (ankle) is questionable for the Cardinals’ Week 17 game against the Rams.
    After missing last week’s game against the Panthers with an ankle injury, Benson returned to log three limited practices this week and will officially be listed as questionable heading into the game. If active, Benson could make for an interesting streaming option if James Conner (knee, questionable) cannot play, but Benson wouldn’t have any standalone value if both backs are active.

    Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said James Conner is making “good’ progress with his knee injury.
    Gannon said he may not know the official status of Conner or fellow running back Trey Benson when the team boards the plan on Friday to head to Los Angeles to take on the Rams, but it sounds like Conner will have an outside shot to play if he continues to progress through his knee injury. Conner was listed as a limited participant in each of the team’s first two practices to start the week and will presumably log another limited session on Thursday. If both Conner and Benson are held out of Saturday’s contest, practice squad back Michael Carter figures to see a busy day after seeing 10 opportunities in last week’s loss to the Panthers.

    Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) was limited in Tuesday’s walkthrough practice.
    Conner suffered the knee injury in Week 16 and did not return. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said earlier the team will “see how the week goes” for Conner’s game-day status. The Cardinals play the Rams Saturday night, so it is a shorter week than usual, but Conner’s limited status in Tuesday’s estimated report is a good sign. Backup RB Trey Benson (ankle) was also listed as limited after missing Week 16. If neither Conner nor Benson can go, Michael Carter will retain the lead back role.

    Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Trey Benson (ankle) won’t play in Arizona’s Week 16 game against the Panthers.
    The James Conner show rides again. With Emari Demercado on injured reserve, the Cardinals only currently have DeeJay Dallas as a rostered Conner backup for Week 16. They will likely elevate Michael Carter or Tony Jones for the game. Conner is a good bet for RB1 production against the Panthers.

    Trey Benson (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday.
    Benson sprained an ankle in Week 15 and passing-down specialist Emari Demercado (back) was recently placed on injured reserve. If Benson is unable to play, James Conner will again handle a high-volume rushing workload while dominating the two-minute drill and split splitting third- and fourth-and-long situations with DeeJay Dallas.

    Beat reporter Darren Urban reports Trey Benson suffered an ankle injury in the Cardinals’ Week 15 win over the Patriots.
    We do not yet know the injury’s severity but passing-down specialist Emari Demercado was already sidelined by a back injury and was fully unable to practice or play in Week 15. James Conner could have a monstrous Week 16 workload against the Panthers. Fantasy managers should closely monitor the Cardinals’ practice reports.
  • ARI Running Back #33
    Trey Benson rushed five times for 22 yards in the Cardinals’ Week 15 win over the Patriots.
    Even with fellow backup Emari Demercado out, Benson didn’t see an uptick in work. James Conner out-touched Benson 21-5 and fourth-stringer DeeJay Dallas tallied four attempts in garbage time. Benson has topped out at five touches over his past four games, keeping him off the fantasy radar in all redraft formats heading into Week 16.
