I imagine the ADPs are superflex. My league is 1 QB. Brooks went 1.05 and I grabbed Benson at 1.08. I am rebuilding this year so I am happy with Benson.
Brooks went at the 1.03 in my rookie draft so I had no shot at him. Benson was still on the board at the 2.01 so I traded up (2.07 and 3.06) to grab him. I think I got reasonable value in that spot, especially since the guy with the 2.02 was going to take him and had to pivot to Corum instead.
@@TheDevyRoyale LMAO this made me laugh a little too hard as a Panthers fan... because this would definitely be consistent with how we've used our previous star backs
I have Jacobs and reached a tad on Marshawn Lloyd taking him 3.01 but I dont regret it since I now have a handcuff for a guy I think has top 5 potential in Jacobs. If he goes down, i cant afford it and im super shallow at RB. I like drafting rookies like this 👍@gaberomero1740
Im in 3 dynasty leagues, only in my new 1qb league i drafted Benson in a startup in the 10th rd. I was drafting at the 1st pick in a 12 team start up. Was a tough spot thou i like doubling up on on the end
I got 1.05 and 1.09. Looking to grab Williams but I’m not sure who else to take? I feel I can get a TE later on so should k take Brooks or pull the trigger on bowers?
I got the 6th pick and am hoping I can land Brooks. I traded my 8th (wasn’t my pick) for Dk because my WR room was thin My WR room is now DK, Drake London, tank dell, zay flowers, JSN, Curtis Samuel, Mingo, Micheal Wilson. Idk if you’ll see this but do you think I draft a RB if brooks is there or a Wr
If I’m moving CMC I’d need Benson and at least another first if not two. A recent deal for him on Fantasy Calc: CMC for Benson/Etienne/2025 2nd That might be a ceiling value but he’s worth it.
It’s a fine strategy. It’d take at least Benson and a 1st for me to consider moving CMC. If you’re a contender, it may be smarter to hang on to CMC for one more year and do that trade in the offseason.
I want CMC on my team but I'm going to send an offer for him around Week 5 because he might be a little cheaper by then. The guy that has him in my league finished 11th last year but he only had CMC for a few weeks.
@@ronald8792 that’s a great strategy for a contender, definitely a little pricey but if a team that rosters CMC struggles out the gate they’ll move quickly to get him off their roster (or should)
If you are really rebuilding I would be using Gibbs to get a WR and future picks as assets. Theres so much volatility with RBs that using them to rebuild isn’t the best move.
12 team 1 QB. I'm stacked at WR (Lamb, AmonRa, Aiyuk, Olave, Flowers, Tank Dell, Jayden Reed, Wicks) and only need some RB depth. Im seriously considering taking Benson over Brooks at 1.06. Is this too much of a reach?
In a 12 team, 1QB dynasty league with a decent bench size, I can't imagine RBs being easy to get. One or two guys have 5-6 usable RBs and the other 10 are lucky to have two decent starters each. Looking at my league, 6-7 players need RB while maybe 1-2 need WR, and we have 3 WR slots (no flex). If anyone wants a decent RB this draft, they'd better grab them early.
People will say don’t draft for need but in reality in leagues you have to build out a total squad and if that means you have to draft running backs earlier that’s completely fine. League tendencies and roster requirements drives ADP
@@TheDevyRoyale There's a guy in our league... their best two RB are Miles Sanders and A Mattison. Another guy's best two are A Jones and G Edwards. And their 3rd best is a steep drop. Possible they'll go after a sleeper like T Tracy Jr or K Vidal but they'll be scraping waivers all season to try to put a 10point RB in their RB2 slot.
For sure he has performed well in Arizona. But with his history of injuries Arizona will undoubtedly limit his usage with Benson and it’s hard to envision a scenario where Conner is in this roster next season
@@TheDevyRoyale agree. Unless he’s around on a vet minimum. He’s a Cardinal for life. He’s definitely made AZ home and us fans and teammates embrace him
@@elawen5 absolutely. Loved watching him and Kyler at the basketball game the other day. I love Conner as a person. Just think it will be Bensons team next season
Brooks has the three down skills kinda like an Alvin Kamara so maybe he loses some goal line touches to a thumper kind of RB. Benson is a future platoon back he's no James Conner but he def can run that zone scheme to the outside. Conner will still be the between the tackles and 3rd down back given his pass blocking and catching skillz. We're really trying to draw blood from a stone on a 3rd round Rb. Cardinals will take another RB next year in the draft or sign a vet in Fa if they don't resign conner.
Traditionally, if a team invests a day 2 pick in a RB, that player gets an opportunity to be the guy. Benson is a lot better than you give him credit for haha

Great value there! But yes these were superflex values here.
Brooks went at the 1.03 in my rookie draft so I had no shot at him. Benson was still on the board at the 2.01 so I traded up (2.07 and 3.06) to grab him. I think I got reasonable value in that spot, especially since the guy with the 2.02 was going to take him and had to pivot to Corum instead.
The absolute dumbest thing the panthers could do is rush Brooks back quickly.
Well they are the Panthers
@@TheDevyRoyale LMAO this made me laugh a little too hard as a Panthers fan... because this would definitely be consistent with how we've used our previous star backs
@@TheDevyRoyaleTotally different Panthers though. It won't happen.
Brooks’s agent/manager should step in and stop that from happening
Connor gets injured all the time, even though he can be solid as can be, you know he will miss some games
Conner is underrated. Finished last 5 games last year as RB5, RB11, RB5, RB3, RB1 in half PPR.
He’s a fine player. Much of that was volume-based though.
@@TheDevyRoyale he averaged 4.94 per carry, including 6.14 vs SF in that stretch. He's efficient, not just volume-based like a Rachaad White.
@@EricCharlesGrahamhe’s also pushing 30 with a history of injury
I have Conner already, so hopefully I can future proof that position with my 2.01 by taking Benson.
That’s what I did 👍🏼
I have Jacobs and reached a tad on Marshawn Lloyd taking him 3.01 but I dont regret it since I now have a handcuff for a guy I think has top 5 potential in Jacobs. If he goes down, i cant afford it and im super shallow at RB. I like drafting rookies like this 👍@gaberomero1740
Excellent discussion - thanks fellas!
I got both of them
Im in 3 dynasty leagues, only in my new 1qb league i drafted Benson in a startup in the 10th rd. I was drafting at the 1st pick in a 12 team start up. Was a tough spot thou i like doubling up on on the end
if conner goes down the cardinals got Michael Carter & Trey Benson people are sleeping on Arizona’s rush game
another thought on ARI offense and Benson - they spent a rd 3 pick on a blocking specialist TE
Yep. Great point Brian
Benson has just ok long speed? Did, did you really watch tape? How many TDs over 40 yards did he have? He also topped 22 mph on the GPS.
I got 1.05 and 1.09. Looking to grab Williams but I’m not sure who else to take? I feel I can get a TE later on so should k take Brooks or pull the trigger on bowers?
Bowers is probably the move! Not sure the TEs later on would be worth the pick.
I got the 6th pick and am hoping I can land Brooks. I traded my 8th (wasn’t my pick) for Dk because my WR room was thin
My WR room is now
DK, Drake London, tank dell, zay flowers, JSN, Curtis Samuel, Mingo, Micheal Wilson. Idk if you’ll see this but do you think I draft a RB if brooks is there or a Wr
I got both of them in my draft at 5&6
Woukd you trade CMC for Benson in order to get out while you can befire he hits the cliff and if so, what would you nedd back on top of Benson?
If I’m moving CMC I’d need Benson and at least another first if not two.
A recent deal for him on Fantasy Calc:
CMC for Benson/Etienne/2025 2nd
That might be a ceiling value but he’s worth it.

Hell nah. You should only move cmc for elite assets or 2 1sts+ worth of draft capital.
just did my first dynasty league draft, i ended up with both trey benson and brooks lol
As a rebuilding team in a start 11 SF, would you down tier from Gibbs for either of these two + a 1st and 2nd? Anyone’s thoughts appreciated
If you are really rebuilding I would be using Gibbs to get a WR and future picks as assets. Theres so much volatility with RBs that using them to rebuild isn’t the best move.
I feel attacked by Christian saying people said “one of the worst spotsfor brooks” (me in the voice channel) but I ended up with 6 shares of him lol
Nooo I was talking about the people on Twitter! Haha I’m sorry😂

Nope not at all. Love the WR room and Bowers will most likely be gone. Taking RB there makes sense

I have pick 5 in a one qb league. Caleb? Brooks? Worthy?
Brooks. What quarterbacks do you have?
@@TheDevyRoyale Purdy and Levis. Only have Achane at rb.
@@amstel5468 give me brooks then
@@TheDevyRoyale thanks! I was thinking the same thing.

Did he just say he’s better than James Connor already?? Yeah these dudes don’t watch football
Shit you got us!
They’re right
what is up? ... Brooks
but you might have made a good enough case that I'm taking Brooks out of an article...
Brooks is a whole tier above benson smh
Maybe! We’ve been wrong before. Thanks for watching!
