Rachaad White vs Trey Benson: Who Should You Start?
The gap between Rachaad White and Trey Benson is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.0 PPG in 2025, this is one of those running back decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Rachaad White averaged 7.2 PPG with the Washington Commanders across 17 games, and Trey Benson posted 7.2 with the Arizona Cardinals in 4.
When two running backs are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Rachaad White is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 40 targets into 218 yards, while Trey Benson profiles as a more traditional rusher with 160 rushing yards and undefined touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Rachaad White carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
Rachaad White has his bye in Week 14, and Trey Benson rests in Week 11. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
