Three Running Backs to Buy, Sell, or Hold in Devy Leagues

In devy Leagues, it is so hard to figure out which running backs will translate into the NFL. Most would not have thought college standout Sean Tucker would have gone totally undrafted even with a medical issue. In our last Buy/Sell/Hold for running backs, we gave you three to look at. This week I will give you another three backs to think about buying or selling.

BUY: Trey Benson, Florida State

Benson started off at Oregon as a three-star recruit but in two years only had six carries. He decided to transfer to Florida State but there were two returning players in Treshaun Ward and Lawrance Toafili ahead of him. In the first game of 2022, Benson had over 100 yards, but so did the other two backs. He did not get the main back role until game eight of the season. Once Benson got the bulk of the carries, he produced 593 and six touchdowns in the last five games. Florida State returns a lot of talent, and he should be up for another big season.

There has been a little more hype for Benson in the devy community, but I think you could still get him cheap. He is currently going as RB16 according to Canton2Canton’s ADP. I think he could have a jump up draft boards if he has another good season with the Seminoles. He checks a lot of boxes and has the size the NFL is looking for. I have doubts about how Blake Corum at Michigan translates, so you could get Benson plus another couple of devy assets.
