Trey Benson vs Tyler Allgeier: Who Should You Start?
Trey Benson (7.2 PPG) and Tyler Allgeier (6.8 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two running backs are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Trey Benson played 4 games for the Arizona Cardinals; Tyler Allgeier suited up 17 times for the Arizona Cardinals.
A 0.4-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Trey Benson ran for 160 yards and undefined touchdowns; Tyler Allgeier posted 514 and 8. 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.
