Should You Start or Sit Trey Benson in Week 13?
Trey Benson should be rostered in more leagues than he is given his proximity to volume, but as we’ve been saying for months now, holding him is a bet against James Conner’s health more than anything.
The rookie was on the field for just 16.1% of snaps last week, and he’s cleared one-quarter of the snaps just twice this season, both in one-sided contests. Holding Benson is the proper way to build a roster, even if he doesn’t currently factor into your weekly decision-making.
