Should You Start or Roster Ulysses Bentley?
Bentley remains a roster afterthought, with a 2025 sample of a single game, one carry for zero yards, three percent snaps, and a -0.795 EPA on his lone touch, ranking RB139 with zero fantasy points. There is simply no production to evaluate, and nothing in the advanced data suggests latent upside, the one rush went nowhere and he logged just one route. He is a body, not a contributor, at this stage of his career.
The role context is equally bleak: he sits fourth on the Indianapolis depth chart behind workhorse Jonathan Taylor, change-of-pace DJ Giddens, and Seth McGowan, leaving no realistic touch share absent a cascade of injuries ahead of him. For 2026 he carries no redraft value and is not worth a bench spot in any standard format. He is strictly a waiver-wire watch, relevant only if camp attrition vaults him up the chart, and even then his ceiling is deep-league handcuff at best.
