Arizona Cardinals
Trey Benson coming on slowly
Trey Benson has been taken in fantasy drafts as a role-player with late-season upside. It’s not clear he even has a backup job locked down to start his rookie season. Emari Demercado has been subbing in on passing downs in camp. Jonathan Gannon has also noted that there’s not one specific area of improvement that could get Benson on the field more. PHNX Cardinals’ Johnny Venerable speculated that the Cardinals might use a back other than Benson on passing downs as well.
Benson could still put up elite fantasy numbers if something happens to Conner, but it’s not clear if he’ll offer any usable weeks until that happens.
Atlanta Falcons
Tyler Allgeier has a big role
The Falcons have talked up Bijan Robinson all offseason but OC Zac Robinson gave Tyler Allgeier his flowers last week.

I wouldn’t read into this too much given the draft capital behind Bijan. It is possible that Allgeier has a goal line role, which would be painful for Robinson’s fantasy outlook. But it’s hard to move Robinson down the rankings much (if at all) based on this.
Baltimore Ravens
Justice Hill viewed as a starting back
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Justice Hill is viewed as a starting back and will see a lot of snaps. Like the previous item, this can’t be written off entirely, but it shouldn’t move us from our prior that Derrick Henry is going to carry the ball early and often. Hill could play a role similar to that of Tyjae Spears last year. Spears played the exact same number of snaps as Henry and nearly doubled him up in targets. But you’re not drafting Henry of his role through the air.
