The two-1 Arizona Cardinals host the 2-1 Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Evening Soccer as 1.5-point house canine. This divisional matchup went to the Seahawks each instances final 12 months, however this time round Seattle has Sam Darnold as their sign caller and the Cardinals are with out their RB1, James Conner, who’s out for the season with a extreme ankle damage.
Conner’s absence offers an enormous alternative to sophomore backup and starter in ready, Trey Benson. Benson was an early spherical 3 choose in 2024 who ran a 4.39 on the mix and has traits to be an each down again within the league. He’ll cede some work to passing down specialist Emari Demercado, however he must be in line for 20+ touches per sport as a runner and receiver, giving him good upside in fantasy.
Under, we’ll go over Trey Benson’s outlook in fantasy soccer for Week 4.
Fantasy Soccer evaluation: Cardinals, RB, Trey Benson
This matchup isn’t nice for Benson’s first post-Conner damage begin, however it should do. They’re solely giving up 3.2 yards per carry, which is third-best within the league. They’ve confronted Christian McCaffrey, Jaylen Warren and Alvin Kamara to this point. The one good stat for opposing backs is that they’ve given up the second-most receptions and probably the most receiving yards. And amazingly Kamara solely had one reception for 14 yards. Most the harm was executed by McCaffrey and Warren.
Benson is a succesful receiver and can see loads of move routes regardless of Demercado getting chunk of apparent passing down. This isn’t a fantastic matchup by any means although, which pushes Benson out of must-start standing in shallow leagues.
Begin or sit in Week 4 PPR leagues?
Begin. So long as you’re in a 12 workforce league, Benson is a should begin. And doubtless a should begin in 10 workforce leagues so long as you aren’t stacked on the place.
