But now that Conner is done for the year with an ankle injury, Benson&#8217;s opportunities should skyrocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conner sustained his injury on Arizona&#8217;s first drive of the second half on Sunday. From that point onward, Benson had seven touches and 39 scrimmage yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extrapolated over a full game, I expect Benson to see 15 touches or more. After all, he had 13 total in Week 3 despite being in a timeshare for half of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seattle has been superb at stopping the run so far, but RBs are finding tons of daylight in the receiving game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Seahawks&#8217; defence ranks 8th in rush success rate and 4th in EPA per rush, according to RBSDM.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Through three games, Seattle has allowed the second-most receptions (22) and the most receiving yards (234) to opposing RBs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Benson has 11 targets so far, which leads Arizona&#8217;s RB room. Emari Demercado is the only other healthy tailback who&#8217;s been targeted, but he failed to bring in the lone pass thrown his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cardinals like checking down to their RBs, and Benson should have an excellent opportunity to capitalize on that Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Arizona running backs have a 23.9% team target share, per Fantasy Pros, which is the seventh-highest in the NFL. The Cardinals&#8217; WR target share (37.5%) is dead last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who will win Thursday Night Football?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seahawks moneyline (-120):<\/strong> Both teams are 2-1 with a close loss to the 49ers, so I get why this game is a pick&#8217;em.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I prefer Seattle&#8217;s side of the coin for a few reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Seahawks went 2-0 vs. the Cardinals last year, winning both games by 10+ points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After losing to San Francisco in Week 1, Seattle responded by winning its past two games by 14+ points (including a win in Pittsburgh as an underdog).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Seattle is 8-1 SU on the road since the start of last season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Seahawks could be getting some reinforcements on defence as two-time Pro Bowler Devon Witherspoon and 2025 second-rounder Nick Emmanwori opened the week as limited participants in practice. Neither has played since Week 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Losing Conner might be a plus for Benson&#8217;s opportunities, but it&#8217;s a negative for Arizona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the Cardinals&#8217; one-score wins over the Saints and Panthers aren&#8217;t compelling in my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Seahawks vs. Cardinals<\/em> <em>picks made at 4:55 p.m. ET 09\/23\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve got an NFC West pick&#8217;em to open NFL Week 4 action on Thursday Night Football.
