Week 6 at Seattle Seahawks
Eno Benjamin benefited the most from injuries to James Conner and Darrell Williams last week, turning eight carries and three receptions into 53 yards and a touchdown. Benjamin profiles as a complementary back, but he’s had at least six touches in every game this year, making him an interesting player to keep an eye on.
Should Conner miss time this week, Benjamin could be in line for additional touches against a Seahawks defense that ranks 29th in aFPA to opposing running backs. As such, he should be a top waiver pickup for fantasy managers looking for running back help. If Benjamin gets double-digit touches again, while continuing to see considerable targets, he could see RB2 numbers. Start him if Conner is out.
