Trey Benson vs Ty Johnson: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Trey Benson and Ty Johnson for your lineup, you are not alone. Trey Benson finished the 2025 season at 7.2 PPG for the Arizona Cardinals (4 games), and Ty Johnson averaged 5.2 for the Buffalo Bills (17 games).
That 2.0-point weekly advantage for Trey Benson is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Trey Benson ran for 160 yards and undefined touchdowns; Ty Johnson posted 200 and 3. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One scheduling note: Trey Benson is off Week 11 and Ty Johnson Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
