Been carrying him and Hampton all season on a short bench team. Still sitting in 5th place. But I have to question if this straight up poor strategy. Both these guys have been cloggers all season.

I would have held Hampton for sure. He had shown ability to be an rb1. Benson is almost a complete unknown. I probably would have dropped him and tried to pick him back up after a few weeks. You are still in the hunt though.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I’ll say this, if Demarcado & Knight are both out, Carter might be a decent handcuff this week at least.

All these injuries that seemed like 4 to 5 weeks are taking 8 weeks or more. Really annoying.

I thought I was him to nmy flex spot

I thought he was going to be in one of my flex spot by now.

Even if he plays next week,I still can't start him bc of the unknown of how many touches they give him first game back.
I'm sure he'll be a bit rusty after missing large portion of season.

I had many miniscus repaired. It was a nothing surgery compared to my rotator cuff n labrum surgeries.
I was back landscaping 2 weeks later.
I know he's playing football,but still.
Seems like a long time off for minor surgery.

People are really high on this guy. I have no idea, really. Best of luck to everybody who is about to have him in their lineup. Heh. He's relatively big and darn fast, that's for sure.

This is the comment of somebody not willing to an express an opinion because he's done and not because of timidity. I'm glad I'm going back through these threads and seeing, in real time and history, how useless this is writ large. Carry on.

I'm not this pro Benson guy that's for sure. He was never gonna be your rb1 or even rb2. Most were hoping for a decent flex. Obviously hasn't happened. Seasons not over though, and things change quickly. Step 1. Get on the damn field.

Oh yeah, bud. This isn't even directed at anyone, let alone approaching your brushback pitch zone. It's seeing the lay of the land. Like what does my comment add and what I am I trying to say and why, if I'd like to say something different, is this coming out of my mouth (keyboard)? That you would even think to comment just affirms my thoughts that you're here for exactly the reasons you should be and you play it fairly and earnestly. I won't go any further than that. I think most people are here for the right reasons, frankly. I don't think many people set out for the day and say, "I'm going to be a ****bag! Won't that be fun!"

Nah, we all bring our lives and pasts to the table and then act within the contexts we choose or are given. And the "we choose" part is really important here. It's actually something that made this thread about me, and it's not, so I'm going to delete it. I hope you'll delete yours. I was talking all about Arizona RBs and didn't see the point and typed that. Deleting now if you'll do me the courtesy and delete yours. if anyone wants it as reference I'll screenshot it. I'm not hiding it. Peace.

eta* actually, i will go further for your own edification and a transparent display of my thoughts. It shows me, by your comment, that you have a sense of justice and have a conscience and it's possible that you feel that when something that you are a part of is indicted by someone, rightly or wrongly, that you've been unjustly implicated for having participated in whatever it was and want to clear the air and your name both for the bystander and maybe also the person lodging the grievance. And maybe you feel the dissonance that obvious personal discontent brings. That is also likely part of it. Well, you're good in my book and probably everybody else's. That's about it. That you have a sense of right and wrong and how to behave and conscience and conscientiousness is a good thing, and I think your comment goes to evidence of it, and maybe I'd like to leave both our secondary comments up.

Thanks and good luck tomorrow.

Please let's keep the discussion 100% on football and not each other.

Amen.

The Jags game was a good matchup for Bam & Carter, great game script. Still a nice remaining schedule. The Cards released their back-backup RB Jefferson but that might just be about Demercado. The window for Benson stays open until Wednesday next week iirc.

 

[nirad3]

Any homers or those that have been following this closely have any idea if Benson is due back this week? I need a fill-in RB and Bam Knight is available.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Cards release 3 RBs, sign 1.

No word on Benson or Demercado I believe.

Me, a genius, traded for Benson to back up Conner.

They’re both clogging my IR. In a league I’m desperate for RB help.

Are we sharing the same roster? I did the exact same thing this season. In retrospect, not my most shark savvy move.

I’m still optimistic about Benson for 2026. I think he’s better than Bam or Demercado, and I think the Cards think he is as well.

But the draft looms large.

Yep. Good RBs are at an all time low in the drafts these days. They will draft a youngster to challenge Benson. It'll probably be a day 3 pick, but that's seemed to work out pretty well for a lot of teams lately.

looking like a drop. he was worth holding for a while, but i think that's over.

Not looking good. When does the practice window close? End of this week?

I would have dropped him long ago if I didn’t have an open IR slot. No way am I wasting a roster spot on a guy who may not come back anytime soon. Even if he does come back at some point, is he the bell cow at this point? It’s suddenly a crowded backfield and it’s not like we are talking about Connor here.

There’s such an end of the line quality to this response for Gannon.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Should we be picking up Bam Knight everywhere?

I picked him up about a week ago when Burrow came off my IR. Not gonna be able to carry him if he loses that IR designation.
