ANALYSIS
Benjamin suffered a torn Achilles in practice Saturday, so the move to IR comes as no surprise. The 24-year-old was working to earn a role in the Saints backfield after closing out the 2022 campaign with the team. He'll now work to get healthy and bounce back next season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Had significant interest
RBHouston Texans
November 15, 2022
The Seahawks and Kansas City had claims in for Benjamin before he was assigned to the Texans, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Benjamin was surprisingly cut by the Cardinals on Monday, clearing the path for Keontay Ingram to become the backup running back behind James Conner in Arizona. However, it didn't take long for Benjamin to find a new home, as he'll now work behind impressive rookie Dameon Pierce. It's unclear how many other teams may have put in a claim for Benjamin, though it seems as if he was in high demand.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2020
A seventh-round pick in 2020 who didn't see the field at all in his first NFL season, Benjamin finally got some snaps last year, although he didn't do a whole lot with them and didn't see double-digit touches in a game until Week 18. The Arizona State product runs with decent power, balance and elusiveness despite a less than smooth running style, traits that earned him a spot as a kick returner, and he flashed the skills to be a passing-down option in college. James Conner seems locked atop the Cardinals' depth chart after his big 2021, but his track record hints that he'll end up missing some games if asked to handle a large workload. With Chase Edmonds now in Miami, that could eventually open the door for Benjamin to take on a more significant role, although the team brought in former Kansas City backup Darrel Williams and drafted Keaontay Ingram in the sixth round to compete for the No. 2 spot.
Despite a productive career at Arizona State, Benjamin tumbled to the seventh round of this year's draft, in part due to a herky-jerky running style more reminiscent of a boxer bobbling and weaving to avoid jabs - or maybe Jackie Chan's fighting style from his classic "Drunken Master" series - than a football player trying to avoid tackles. It was mostly effective in college, though he posted better numbers in 2018 than in 2019. Benjamin offers more than just unpredictable elusiveness, though. At 5-9, 207, he has the balance and power to finish plays with positive yards even after being caught, and the receiving ability to be a three-down option in the NFL if he ever figures out the rushing aspect. Coach Kliff Kingsbury's spread-out offense should be a good fit for Benjamin, and if Kenyan Drake doesn't hold up as the starter for the Cardinals, the rookie could split work with Chase Edmonds.
