The Arizona Cardinals are keeping a close eye on Trey Benson as he continues to progress slowly but surely. Benson has been drafted into fantasy leagues as a player with potential for a breakout towards the end of the season. However, there are doubts about whether he even has a secure backup role as he enters his rookie year. Emari Demercado has been stepping in on passing downs during training camp, raising questions about Benson’s role on the team.
Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon has commented on Benson’s progress, mentioning that there isn’t one specific area where he needs to improve in order to see more playing time. Johnny Venerable from PHNX Cardinals has suggested that the team may look to other running backs for passing situations, casting further doubt on Benson’s immediate impact.
While there is potential for Benson to post impressive fantasy numbers if James Conner were to go down with an injury, it remains uncertain whether Benson will have any notable contributions until that situation arises.
Moving on to the Atlanta Falcons, Tyler Allgeier seems to be in line for a significant role within the team. Despite earlier discussions about Bijan Robinson, offensive coordinator Zac Robinson recently praised Allgeier, indicating that he may have an important role in the offense.
It’s important not to overanalyze this development, especially considering the draft capital invested in Robinson. There is a possibility that Allgeier could have a role in goal-line situations, potentially impacting Robinson’s fantasy value. However, it’s unlikely that this would cause a significant drop in Robinson’s rankings at this point.
In Baltimore, the Ravens are making their own evaluations and adjustments as they prepare for the upcoming season.
