Week 4 is the time where patterns emerge, but surprises are still possible. Let’s lean into NFL matchups, volume and inefficiencies. Here are your starts, locks and avoids going into Week 4 where injuries have created some openings at running back.
Start: Trey Benson vs. Seahawks
Benson has quickly earned trust in Arizona’s backfield, stepping into a top role with James Conner out. Seattle’s defense has been strong up front, but it has also given up big runs when over pursuing, which plays into Benson’s one-cut style and burst. He’s also been more involved in the passing game than expected, giving him a dual-threat profile that boosts his PPR value. With 15 to 20 touches on the table, Benson carries RB2 security and the upside to reach the top 12 at the position this week.
