Backfield Report: Isaac Guerendo enters league-winner conversation

Week 14 Byes: BAL, DEN, HOU, IND, NE, WSH

Arizona Cardinals

James Conner (Week 13: 45 snaps, 20 opportunities, 17 routes, 4 targets)

Trey Benson (Week 13: 12 snaps, 3 opportunities, 5 routes, 0 targets)

Emari Demercardo (Week 13: 21 snaps, 4 opportunities, 12 routes, 1 target)

Notes: Trey Benson had seen a steady increase in opportunities in Weeks 10-12 but played behind Emari Demercado in Sunday’s loss to the Vikings. As far as his upside as a bench stash goes, it’s pretty safe to assume Benson is the back you want to hold as a handcuff to James Conner, but his Week 13 usage should serve as a reminder that he has no reliable stand-alone value at this time. Conner led the Cardinals in carries (17) and rushing yards (68), while also adding three receptions for 13 yards. He profiles as a solid RB2 in Week 14’s game at home against the Seahawks.

Atlanta Falcons

Bijan Robinson (Week 13: 57 snaps, 32 opportunities, 26 routes, 6 targets)

Tyler Allgeier (Week 13: 24 snaps, 9 opportunities, 11 routes, 1 target)

Notes: Tyler Allgeier has seen single-digit opportunities in three of his last five games and seven total games this season. Much like Trey Benson, Allgeier remains a solid handcuff to stash in the event his team’s RB1 goes down, but he is hard to trust on a weekly fantasy basis. In Sunday’s defeat, Allgeier ran eight times for 16 carries while catching one pass for another six yards. Bijan Robinson, on the other hand, ran for 26-102-1 and caught six passes for 33 additional yards. His 32 opportunities were also a new career high. Robinson and the Falcons get a tough Week 14 matchup against the Vikings, but his high volume will keep him in the RB1 conversation.

Baltimore Ravens

Derrick Henry (Week 13: 37 snaps, 22 opportunities, 12 routes, 3 targets)

Justice Hill (Week 13: 35 snaps, 9 opportunities, 28 routes, 6 targets)

Notes: The Ravens ran into a stout Eagles defense in their Week 13 loss to the Eagles. Henry ran for just 82 scoreless yards on 19 carries and caught another…
