Cardinals are not activating RB Trey Benson; his season is over.

Related Players: Zonovan Knight, Michael Carter, Corey Kiner

It'll be a one-two punch of Knight + Carter over the last month of the season, but sadly, that hasn't been particularly great for fantasy. Knight is the more reliable option of the two for Week 15, but the team is leaning heavily into the passing game, and the Texans rank 4th in RB aFPA, making him an RB3 with limited upside.

RB Trey Benson won’t be activated yet. Gannon acknowledged he doesn’t know if Benson will return this season.

Lots of negative news about the Cardinals' offense on this fine Friday, as Benson will join Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. in street clothes.

Knight should once again get the majority of the rushing-down work, albeit against a Rams defense that ranks fifth in RB aFPA. Consider him in the RB3 range for Week 14.

Cardinals ruled out RB Trey Benson, G Will Hernandez and DT Walter Nolen for Sunday’s game in Tampa.

Knight has been taking more of the work as of late, but the snap rates are still almost 50/50, and the team has been leaning heavily on the passing game under Jacoby Brissett. Other options are recommended, but if you need to play either Carter or Knight, consider them RB4s.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado suffered a high ankle sprain and is unlikely to play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.

Demercado left in the second quarter of Arizona's 41-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday after rushing for 8 yards on five attempts and catching two passes for 12 yards. Bam Knight also had five carries for the Cardinals, rushing for 24 yards and a touchdown.

The story said it's possible Benson is activated from the IR. If not, Knight and Carter would likely split the workload with Carter seeing passing down action. Even if Benson is back, he may not gather a full workload his first week back, but would probably be the back to own in fantasy going forward.

The Cardinals released veteran RB Michael Carter, per the wire.

Carter wasn't impressive despite getting the starting nod a couple of weeks. The Cards will go with Knight as their top back and Demercado, at least for now, looks to slide into the RB2 role. Benson will miss at least one more week on IR, but has a chance to come back for Week 10.

Cardinals RB Trey Benson is being placed on injured reserve due to his knee injury.

Well this escalated quickly. Rumblings around the league have Carter, not Demercado, taking the early-down role while the latter handles third-down snaps, but we wouldn't expect either to have anything near a bell-cow role. This is probably a situation we'd like to watch play out before going all-in with either guy, but they should both be in the RB3/4 range for desperate managers.

Coach Jonathan Gannon confirms that James Conner will have surgery and is done for the season.

We reported earlier today Conner would need surgery and be out indefinitely, but this outcome shouldn't come as any surprise given the way Conner left the field in Week 3. Benson will take over as the lead back and there was another report today Demcercado will slide in as the team's RB2. The Cards could make a move for another back at some point, but for now, look for Benson to be given the first chance to be the new RB1.

Cardinals RB James Conner, who was carted off with his ankle immobilized, will need surgery to repair the injury he suffered, sources say.

Conner is still undergoing tests to determine the full extent of the damage. But, he is out indefinitely, the post went on to say. Benson will likely take over the lead back duties, and should get usage in both the running and passing game. If for some reason he's still on your waiver wire, he'll be a popular target this week. Benson had three catches but for just nine yards, however, he did end up with 10 carries for 42 yards on the ground. It's possible the team looks to bring in another back with Conner seemingly out a while.

Cardinals RB James Conner (questionable, knee) is 'trending in the right direction' for Saturday vs. Rams, per source.

Related Players: Trey Benson

Benson also seems likely to play, which presumably leaves the rotation intact for Saturday. Consider Conner an RB2 if he's cleared by kickoff.

Make that another day of practice for Arizona Cardinals RBs James Conner and Trey Benson.

A good sign for their respective statuses this Saturday.

Related Players: Michael Carter

If both are cleared ahead of kickoff, we should assume a pretty standard split, with Benson probably taking a slight uptick in work. Consider them respective RB2 and RB4s if that is the case.
