Sean Tucker vs Trey Benson: Who Should You Start?
Two running backs who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Sean Tucker (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) finished the 2025 season averaging 5.1 fantasy points per game in 17 games. Trey Benson (Arizona Cardinals) came in at 7.2 PPG over 4 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Trey Benson carries a 2.1-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Sean Tucker ran for 320 yards and 7 touchdowns; Trey Benson posted 160 and undefined. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 11 bye. That means you need a backup plan at running back for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
