Kareem Hunt is making a free agent visit to the Saints. With Alvin Kamara missing during his three-game suspension and Eno Benjamin suffering a torn Achilles, the team is looking for some more options.

Related Players: Jamaal Williams, Kendre Miller

The last two seasons we've seen Hunt with the ball in his hands, he's produced exceedingly inefficient rushes, so hopefully he's not chewing into Williams' role too much. As for the third-round rookie Miller, we could expect this signing to come to his detriment.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara will miss games against the Titans, Panthers, and Packers while serving his suspension. He can make his 2023 debut at home on Oct. 1 against the Bucs.

With rumors floating of four, six, or even eight games, a three-game suspension seems like the best-case scenario. This actually makes Kamara a bargain as he was going in the middle of the seventh round, but this news will no doubt make that more expensive soon. Expect Jamaal Williams to carry a lot of the load, with Kendre Miller rotating in for most of the first month. Williams remains a good value all the way back in the ninth round.

Texans standout rookie running back Dameon Pierce suffered a relatively mild high-ankle sprain Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys that is regarded as likely to sideline him for at least one game, according to league sources.

The Texans have actually released Benjamin, according to reports, leaving Ogunbowale and Burkhead as the team's main backs for at least Week 15, perhaps longer. While they are likely to split the work in some way, probably no one would be surprised if Burkhead got a majority of the work given the Texans past usage of him. As for Pierce, and as the story said, high-ankle sprains tend to linger, but this isn’t regarded as severe. According to the story, a source characterized Pierce's status as fluid and predicted Pierce could return within a range of one to two weeks. However, there obviously isn't a need to rush him back so owners will want to monitor.

Lovie Smith says he hasn't yet any update on Dameon Pierce's ankle injury and whether he can play this week. "It will take an awful lot for him not to play." Hopes it's short-term. "We'll see."

Pierce has been one of the lone bright spots on the entire Texans team, and even he has slowed down as the year has gone along. You would need to be in a very desperate spot to need to start either Eno Benjamin or Rex Burkhead in the case that the rookie misses Week 15.

A new back in Houston: Texans claimed former Cardinals’ RB Eno Benjamin on waivers, per his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Jason Rosenhaus.

Benjamin will eventually battle Burkhead for the team's RB2 role this year and perhaps going forward. Pierce's role should be relatively safe with Benjamin maybe stealing some carries. Since Sept. 25, Pierce has had 20 or more carries four times, including 26 times vs. the Jags and 27 times vs. the Eagles. Benjamin should have more of a role in the passing game where he may cut into Burkhead's role.

Cardinals have informed RB Eno Benjamin - who started for them when James Conner was hurt this season - that they are releasing him.

Related Players: Keaontay Ingram

Benjamin was on the field for exactly one offensive snap in Week 10 after converting his one target in 15 yards the week prior. Rookie sixth-rounder Keaontay Ingram has hardly been used any more than that, but he will operate as the immediate Conner backup for now.

Cardinals’ RB James Conner is out Sunday against the Vikings due to his rib injury.

It looks like Eno Benjamin's backfield yet again, with Keaontay Ingram operating as his backup. Benjamin finished Week 7 as fantasy's RB5.

The running backs were all out here working again including James Conner and Darrel Williams.

Conner missed the last two games but looks to be on track to play in Week 8 and probably assume the lead role. Benjamin filled in nicely the last two weeks but will likely take a back seat assuming Conner returns.

Running backs James Conner (ribs) and Darrel Williams (knee) were listed as non-participants in practice on Tuesday.

Both players were out of practice on Monday and all of last week as well, so getting the green light to play against the Saints on Thursday looks like a long shot. Benjamin started last Sunday and ran 15 times for 37 yards. He’s been listed as limited this week because of a foot injury.

On top of James Conner likely missing this week and likely the next, the Cardinals are also expected to be playing without backup running back Darrel Williams due to a knee injury. Plus, they’ve placed running back Jonathan Ward on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

The Seahawks' defense has allowed the most yards and second-most touchdowns on the ground while allowing the fifth-highest yards per attempt. Eno Benjamin looks to be operating in the workhorse role while Conner nurses up, which makes him an RB2 play in fantasy this weekend.
