New Orleans Saints running back Eno Benjamin (Achilles) will miss the 2023-24 campaign. Head coach Dennis Allen confirmed while speaking to the media on Saturday that Benjamin tore his Achilles during practice and will need surgery. This is a tough blow for the Saints, considering Alvin Kamara (suspension) will miss the first three games of the season. The team will likely need to add another option to the backfield. But it appears Jamaal Williams and Kendre Miller will handle the bulk of ...

New Orleans Saints running backs Dwayne Washington (illness) and Eno Benjamin are both inactive on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. The Saints claimed Benjamin off waivers from the Houston Texans on Wednesday, but he's not ready to be active on game day yet. Mark Ingram II (knee) is out for the season, so with both Washington and Benjamin not playing on Sunday, veteran David Johnson is slated to serve as Alvin Kamara's primary backup against the Falcons. Johnson won't have ...

The New Orleans Saints claimed running back Eno Benjamin off of waivers on Wednesday. Benjamin appeared in games for the Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans this year but was ultimately waived by both teams. The third-year back impressed early in the season when starting in place of an injured James Conner, so it is possible he earns some playing time for the Saints down the stretch with Mark Ingram II (knee) placed on Injured Reserve. Still, Benjamin shouldn't be viewed as anything more ...

The Houston Texans waived running back Eno Benjamin on Tuesday, according to a source. Benjamin saw his first action with the Texans in the Week 14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, carrying the ball three times for one yards on just eight offensive snaps. Rookie standout Dameon Pierce (ankle) suffered a mild high-ankle sprain on Sunday and could miss one to two games, so with Benjamin now out of the picture, Rex Burkhead and Dare Ogunbowale would see expanded roles in Houston's backfield this ...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team LeaguesROSTERED IN: 28% of LeaguesANALYSIS: Eno Benjamin made headlines this past week when he was released by the Cardinals out of nowhere. Unless there are behind-the-scenes details that haven't hit the media (which is very possible), it seems like Arizona didn't feel the need to roster the young back after James Conner's strong two-touchdown showing in Week 10. As a result, they quickly cut ties with Benjamin, who was immediately claimed off waivers by the ...

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan and running back Eno Benjamin are both healthy scratches in Week 11 against the Washington Commanders. Jordan has just six catches for 32 yards through five games this season and is now inactive for the second consecutive week. Meanwhile, Benjamin is just a few days removed from his surprise release in Arizona. Evidently, he hasn't had quite enough time to learn the Texans' offense, so he'll sit out Sunday's game.

Newly-acquired Houston Texans running back Eno Benjamin did not practice with the team on Wednesday but is expected to join them for the first time on Thursday. Head coach Lovie Smith spoke positively about Benjamin and said that the 23-year-old is learning the playbook. It has not yet been decided if Benjamin will suit up in Week 11 against the Washington Commanders, but he should be expected to mix in with Dameon Pierce when active. He looked good with limited opportunities in Arizona and ...

The Houston Texans claimed former Arizona Cardinals running back Eno Benjamin off waivers on Tuesday, according to his agents, Drew and Jason Rosenhaus. The Cardinals surprisingly waived Benjamin on Tuesday, and the Texans have quickly scooped him up as backfield insurance behind impressive rookie Dameon Pierce. Benjamin started in Weeks 6-8 with James Conner injured and had 36 carries for 151 yards and one touchdown, adding 11 catches (15 targets) for 72 additional yards. The 23-year-old could ...

In a surprise move, the Arizona Cardinals have informed running back Eno Benjamin, who filled in as the starter when James Conner was hurt this year, that they are releasing him on Monday, according to a source. With Conner back healthy, Benjamin played just one offensive snap in the win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. In his three starts with Conner injured from Weeks 6-8, Benjamin had 36 carries for 151 yards and a touchdown and added 11 receptions for 72 yards as a plug-and-play RB2 ...

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner appears to be living up to his name after conning fantasy managers out of an early round draft pick. Conner started the season with underwhelming production before sustaining a rib injury in Week 5 that kept him sidelined for three subsequent games.His status for Week 9's game against the Seattle Seahawks is uncertain with head coach Kliff Kingsbury calling him a game-time decision heading into the ...
