Trey Benson Is SEVERELY UNDERRATED! He Has HUGE Potential in 2024 Fantasy Football and the FUTURE! 😈

by the end of this video you will know why Trey Benson of the Arizona Cardinals is a potential League winner this season and will absolutely be a League winner in the future we're going to take a look at his analytical profile as well as his running back mate James Connor we're going to take a look at his production throughout the past couple of Seasons his injury history what we've come to expect from him and thus what we might be able to expect from Trey Benson as soon as this season and absolutely next season please like And subscribe let's get into it so Trey Benson is 6' 216 PBS that does give him a 29.3 BMI now that is a little bit under the 30.0 threshold to be a bcow but it's not alarming or anything he's over 210 lbs he was drafted at the top of the third round the second pick into the third round and he's 22.1 years old but he is an early declar so his 43940 Dash is in the 97 sth percentile among running backs giving him a 116.3 speed score because he's 6' 216 with that 439 which is in the 98th percentile now he isn't the bsti player that's his vertical and broad jump so he does have top end speed it's just that it takes him a second to be able to get to that top end speed but one thing I've noticed is it's like he doesn't actually top out once he gets going he just Contin ously gets faster and so if he gets some room in a crease he's probably gone it's relatively rare that he gets caught from behind by a Defender and he possesses a nasty stiff arm so if he has a good angle on the defender it's probably going to be a touchdown so his 5.8 College yards per carry is 66 percentile and his 7.0 Target share is in the 52nd percentile so when we have somebody like Trey Ben that if he was asked to could be a bcow and he's also capable of being a three down back that means very high potential upside when we look at where he's going in Dynasty rookie drafts he's going off at the 202 players like Brian Thomas are going at the 111 JJ McCarthy at the 112 in a super Flex format this is Keon Coleman at the beginning of the second round then Benson then B Knicks Ricky peol Legette and BL corm I think he's going right about the correct spot I would personally rather have him than Keon Coleman because I just don't believe in Keon Coleman but I think he's a good pick where he's going so when we take a look at where he's going in sleeper Dynasty startups he's going off the board as the rb19 overall after the likes of DeAndre Swift and Joe Mixon and before the likes of the top of the eighth round I think that's a fair value depending on your roster construction that you're going for in your startups I would argue him over the two players going ahead of him if you're trying to win now I would rather have Swift and Mixon and if I was trying to win now I'd probably rather have Kamar as well but I would definitely rather have Trey Benson over javante Williams no matter what format and no matter what my roster construction is so once again I think he's going right around right spot for dynasty startups so when we take a look at their depth chart Kyler Murray is a dual threat quarterback he is going to be behind James Conor at least at the start of the Season then they drafted mhj fourth overall he's going to be an excellent X generally for them but he can play Anywhere Michael Wilson's going to man The Z generally and Greg dor is going to be the slot receiver for this offense then you have Trey McBride so it's going to be a high-scoring offense they have playmakers all over the field now there is a lot to like about this Cardinal's offense so Trey Benson was selected with the second pick in the third round 66th overall he was the second running back selected in this draft after Jonathan Brooks now this was generally deemed a weak running back class and now I agree with that in the sense of there were no upper echelon Elite prospects people are really sleeping on the talent that is in this class and the set of SK skills in which they possess that can be very useful for us in fantasy so when we take a look at James Conor's 2023 season he was generally a very very good value for you at running back he did have a couple of dud games but look at the massive upside that he does possess from week to week I mean he had a 16.6 19.6 22.5 22.2 26.3 and 30.4 game so that is a very very good amount of upside in this offense he was generally used as a bcow except for when they were losing by a ton and they just pulled him so he wouldn't get hurt but that's the thing he ended up finishing as the rb18 because he only played in 13 games he was hurt in week five and only played 21% of the snaps that game and then missed five games in a row so make sure you remember that for something I'm going to show you in just a minute so James Conor is six fo1 233 lb that does give him a 30.7 BMI and throughout his career he's been used as a Workhorse the only issue he's 29.3 years old so historically it's incredibly unlikely that past age 28 a running back is going to have a peak season of production and I have very good reason to think that he's probably not going to have another one when we look at his snapshare though his 61.9% was good for 12th his 71.3 opportunity share was good for 9th his 176.000 weighted opportunities were 27th and his 27.3 Dominator rating was good for 11th so what the snap share and opportunity share show is that the Cardinals like to use one featured back so now if James Connor hadn't gotten injured and the Cardinals weren't losing so much that they pulled him from games all of these stats would have been at least a little bit better but the key takeaway here is to notice that snap share opportunity share and Dominator rating are all relatively High the Cardinals like to use one featured back so you know how I told you to take note of the week five injury and then the subsequent games in which he missed well in his career he has only played more than 13 games one time and he didn't even have a full season That season either he has never in his entire career been able to stay healthy all season this guy is 29 years old so while he's a very very talented back he possesses a ton of weekly upside he's never been able to put a fully healthy season together and what does that do that leaves opportunity for someone else to step in so we know that throughout his career he's only played in more than 13 games one time and he's never played a full season well when we look historically at running back production by age specifically Peak Seasons at the running back position from age 21 to 24 it progressively ramps up then you see a little bit of a decline at age 25 then another decline at 26 a pretty steep decline at 27 before a little bit of an increase at age 28 before a massive drop off at 29 plus so with James Connor being 29 years old historically the chances of him having a peak season are incredibly unlikely then you factor in the fact that he's never ever been able to put together a fully healthy season that leads me to believe that the chances of him doing that now are incredibly slim so while he's a very talented running back the odds are just not in his favor so as a freshman Trey did suffer a devastating knee injury he only played in three games and had six attempts for 22 yards and a touchdown but then he came back the next season and put up 154 attempts for 990 yards and nine touchdowns including 13 receptions for 144 yards with a 4.1% Target share so considering the fact that he was coming off a devastating knee injury and by the way he transferred from Oregon to Florida State that's that's really really impressive you would think after a devastating injury it might take him some time to rebound well not really because during the 2022 season his 4.76 yards after contact per attempt were good for eighth and his 77 Miss tackles forced was good for sixth among running backs he came back and was amazing and not only that he also had a 90 1.3 rushing grade in 2022 with a 0.51 M tackles Force per attempt which is the highest PFF has recorded in the past 10 seasons that is how elusive he is he's very very fast he builds up to his top end speed he can get really skinny people really people say that he doesn't have good Vision it's not that it's that he likes to create things when it's just not possible sometimes he actually has very good Vision especially in the open field he takes wonderful angles to make it incredibly challenging for Defenders to get to him and he he makes it also so that if they do try to get to him he'll be able to hit him with a stiff arm he he almost never gets caught from behind it does happen from time to time but if he has a straight line in the open field you'll notice he doesn't reach a top end speed he just gets Progressive rively faster until he scores so when we look at Trey Benson's relative Athletic score or his Raz score his 9.78 score ranks 40th among 1745 running backs in fantasy life's database think about how athletic you have to be to be ranked 40th among 1,700 45 running backs and now athleticism as it says isn't everything but you will notice besides Kiren Williams essentially every Elite running back is an elite athlete it is very very unlikely that if you aren't an elite athlete that you are going to be an elite running back now his 2023 season was actually a little bit better in terms of counting stats now some of these metrics did dip just a little bit he didn't set a 10-year record for Miss tackles forced per attempt sorry he didn't do it again so he had 156 carries for 95 yards but he did bump up his touchdowns from 9 to 15 and then he also bumped up his receptions from 13 to 20 and his receiving yards from 144 to 227 including getting his Target share up from 4.1% to 6.5% so this guy is a very good running back analytically and he's finding himself in an amazing offense to be a part of behind a running back that's never been able to put together a fly healthy season as soon as Trey Benson gets the chance he is going to establish himself as the rb1 one other thing to mention James Connor is on the last year of his deal he's 29 years old they are not going to resign him there is a reason they drafted Trey Benson you don't draft a running back in the third round the top of the third round if you're not going to use them after this season James Connor is out of here and he's probably getting his job taken from him at some point during this season so a couple of notes while you watch some of his highlights overall Trey Benson is a solid receiver with good hands he possesses the ability to square up immediately to start getting yards after the catch he also excels at breaking tackles after the catch he has very good Vision in the open field he knows where the Defenders are and knows how to change his angle to The End Zone in order to make sure he isn't cut off by the defender he also possesses a nasty stiff arm that regularly throws Defenders to the ground and he uses this for the rare times in which Defenders are able to gain ground on him from behind usually that just doesn't happen now another thing is when he runs he gets progressively faster the longer he runs it's like he doesn't even have a top speed I've never seen him top out he also has underrated agility and is able to cross the field with ease in tight situations without sacrificing speed that's a very very good trait to have he also has an underrated Stutter Step that he uses to create angles for him to exploit one other thing to like he's very very good around the go line although as you can see from basically all of these highlights he specializes in 50 plus yard touchdowns so overall he reminds me of a Bree hall light so in terms of his skills he doesn't have as good of a juke move or a spin move as Bree Hall but he does have a better stiff arm the ways in which he reminds me of Hall is that once he gets in the open field just like with Hall he progressively gains speed and he has this innate ability to know where all the Defenders are on the field and he knows when to change his angle to the end zone to avoid getting caught now as far as their metrics are concerned he and Hall have almost perfectly matching 40 yard dash times and speed scores Bree Hall ran a 439 40 yard dash which is in the 97th percentile and has a 11 16.9 speed score while Benson also ran a 43940 yard dash which is 97th percentile and has a 116.3 speed score which is in the 98th percentile so almost completely matching and both are above average receivers with soft hands and are excellent at deceptively using their speed to force poor angles by Defenders so if you took anything away from this video Trey Benson is a very very good athlete who compares to Bree Hall in that regard he possesses a nasty stiff arm he basically doesn't have a top end speed he has very underrated agility and deceptively uses his speed to beat Defenders and make them have poor angles he's an above average receiver although he's definitely not a weapon per se in the passing game as far as his situation goes the running back ahead of him is over 29 years old has only played more than 13 games one time in his entire NFL career and has never ever once played a full season they generally like to use a featured back and James Connor is in the last year of his deal and with him being 29 years old there's a very very good chance they're just not going to resign him and once again you don't spend third round draft Capital especially early third round draft capital on a running back that you don't intend to give a very very solid amount of work but what do you think are you sold on Trey Benson do you not like him let me know in the
