whomper Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 (edited) According to CBS he practiced Friday but is still considered questionable..I need him to play or its Lundytime for me. Edited December 16, 2006 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Opinion only: No news on Jones locally, the Tank problem is stealing all the news. If he plays, I think he'll take a minor role and Benson the major role. It would be the smart move, but Da Bears don't always make the smart move. I say let him rest up for the PO. That said, I benched him for a 4th WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think he'll get more than 10 carries...if that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrobn26 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 So you think it's Benson's week? To me it looks like a good week to take off the reins! JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I too, have benched TJ is the consolation side of Outraged. I just see him getting outcarried again this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNOWBOUND33 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 To me it looks like a good week to take off the reins! JMHO I agree but will they do it? Or will they sit Jones? Unfortunately I don't think I will get this info. before game time tomorrow. (Still trying to decide between Addai and Benson.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I had him as my flex/RB3 behind LJ and Bell, but I'll probably bench him for Berrian this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicious_bass Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Sounds like he is expected to play(per the Huddle). Anyone have thoughts on how much? Will the combo of Benson breathing down his neck and playing one of his former teams be motivation for him to play hard through the pain? Will Lovie give him the chance? Any thoughts out there?

I am starting Benson over TJ this week. The way it has been working out the past few weeks is that they let TJ play until the game is in hand Then they turn it over to Benson to run in the 2nd half with the fresh legs and TJ is safe until yhey really need him. This week if TJ plays 1 quarter if he plays at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week if TJ plays 1 quarter if he plays at all. Sometimes the starting RB isn't the best play. I would settle for 60 yards and a TD. I think he can get that once the game is in hand. I can't imagine Lovie working TJ into the ground too hard in a game that should be over by half. Essentially, I am starting Benson cause I feel most confident the Bears trounce the Bucs.

rocknrobn26 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 The Bears could beat the Bucs with ME starting at RB today. I just called Lovie. He said if you can make it here in 30 minutes he'll suit you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Benching TJ for CBenson in one league, and benching him for SMorris in another. Still don't feel good about it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furrey makes me a little nervous....if they weren't playing GB I'd be starting Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 What a well needed pleasant surprise that first half was..Even if TJ doesnt get another carry he was worth the start for me because I really had no other good option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said he will play only the 1st quarter...hmm, now think about that...why would the Bears waste a 53-man roster spot for someone to play only the 1st quarter???? Gotta use your brain at least a little bit to be successful in fantasy football. BTW....Benson is a bust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrappy1 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) What a well needed pleasant surprise that first half was..Even if TJ doesnt get another carry he was worth the start for me because I really had no other good option Bleh. I sat TJ in one league and started Benson as a FLEX in another. Hopefully Benson will get some carries in the 2nd half with the Bears up big.

i_am_the_swammi Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Benson is not a bust. You'll see next year. er, that's what they said LAST year..yet there is Thomas Jones, 1100+ yards and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson justs needs to grow up and shut his mouth. He will definitley have better career stats then Jones. imo Edited December 17, 2006 by SNOWBOUND33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
