Former FSU star is a hot name on the fantasy football waiver wire with a breakout coming

Trey Benson's rookie season in the NFL was indicative of the struggles many rookies face in their first action on the big circuit.

Benson played 13 games as a rookie and rushed for 291 yards on 63 carries, a respectable 4.6 yards per carry. But at times it seemed like he could've done more for the Cardinals and coming into this season, there were promises his role would expand.

In Week 1, Benson was on the field for 22 snaps (starting RB James Conner played 43 snaps) and had 69 yards on eight carries. The highlight was a big 52-yard run that showed Benson has some big-play ability.
