Should You Start or Sit Trey Benson in Week 14?
On one hand, Benson was trusted with a third-down carry on Arizona’s first drive last week and converted. That indicates to me that the team trusts its talented rookie, and that’s a nice thing to see, but that feels an awful lot like a company paying an employee in compliments.
Yeah, it’s good for morale, but it doesn’t really make a tangible difference.
Benson has seen his snap share decline in three straight games, and Emari Demercado was actually on the field more often against the Vikings (26% snap share to 15.6%). The Seahawks allow the fourth-most yards per carry before contact to running backs this season.
I think this running game has success, I just don’t think the pie is big enough for Benson to work his way onto the Flex conversation just yet.
