Trey Benson is the better fantasy play this season.

This one is genuinely close. Trey Benson edges Tyler Allgeier by 0.4 PPG, but both are in the same production tier. The decision comes down to weekly matchup, not season-long resume.

Fantasy Tiers

Trey Benson: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #46 at the position). Tyler Allgeier: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #49 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Trey Benson is producing at 33% of elite pace and Tyler Allgeier at 31%. These two are close enough in the rankings that weekly matchup should dictate your start.

Trey Benson vs Tyler Allgeier: The Full Breakdown

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 Atlanta Falcons.

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.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Trey Benson sits Week 14 while Tyler Allgeier is off Week 11. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Trey Benson (age 23) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Tyler Allgeier (age 26) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
