1stand10 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 What do you guys think?,, No receptions this week and no td's but 140 rushing yards??? The Packers are supposed to be a decent D. I so far am happy the last two weeks with him. Just saying with LT being hurt, Benson is doing a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awahl63 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 He is running really well...I don't know how it's happening but yeah he looks really good. (Bears homer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 PIT @CLE @BAL HOU CHI BYE BAL @PIT Divisional games will be tough, but he should be a nice RB2 weeks 4 and 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'm selling high this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 He is a true #1 RB. That is for real every week in this era of RBBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 He's legit. He's running with power and id punishing defenders that attempt to tackle him. His ego seems to have taken a backseat and he's learned a lot from nearly being out of the league last year. The guy is starting to deliver on the potential he had coming out of Texas. He's also one of the few guys that is going to get 25 touches every week. So yes, he is for real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hammock Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Is BENSON for real? If he played the Packers every week he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'd say he's not had the most favorable of matchups and done very well, so, you definitely could do worse. He makes a perfect RB3 or 2 depending on the matchup... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stand10 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Who would you trade for him? I was thinking about offering Benson to the Forte owner.? I have LT and CJ... Who else would be a good buy low Rb? or WR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Largent Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I heard somewhere that Bernard Scott was taking over the rb gig....sell now. Seriously though....I don't care about the match-ups anymore, he gets 90% of the carries....start him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stand10 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 it'll be interesting to see the rest of season rank for Benson.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 it'll be interesting to see the rest of season rank for Benson.... Expect bias. DMD was hoping for Benson's love child a couple of seasons back, and still might have the pictures he snuck into the locker room to snap.

CowboysDiehard Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I have him in 2 of 4 leagues and didn't start him this week. Did not affect my outcomes, but I won't make that mistake again. He starts every week for me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 He used a lot of sarcasm to deal with Kraus, Clayton, and the idiot governor, but yes, he was for real. If you can get your hands on the director's cut DVD of season 3, he bangs the crap out of Marcy several times, great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stand10 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 it'll be hard to start him over LT when he is healthy.... And all along I was hoping for J Davis to get the rock in Cleveland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else would be a good buy low Rb? or WR? okay, let';s not get carried away here...!! yes, Benson is off to a great start, don't get me wrong........!! But it IS Cedric Benson........hoping that he lasts a full season, and is productive....but you are talking about a guy that was most likely drafted in the 6th round or so and offering him for a RB (forte) that was probably a top 5 pick??? I was criticized by other owners at the beginning of the year because i offered the Forte and Turner owner Gore for either one...got a ton of abuse....(laffing now!!) but, not sure if im a Forte owner I pull the trigger for benson...if he does, you are a shrewd salesman!

Coach1310 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I don't think he will be a stud this year.... but there aren't a lot of guys that get 95% of the carries in the NFL. Anyone who watched the game yesterday had to be impressed with the Cincy O-Line. He has some tough division matchups, but the Bengals are committed to running the ball and at worst he will get 20 touches every week. I think he will finish as a top 15 back this year.

I understand being criticized BEFORE the season, but we are talking in season now. The Forte owner might reconsider your offer now, Turner owner not so much, he had a nice bounce back game. Forte being a top 5 pick?? true but what has he done lately?? 8) I love that saying. I'm just saying a owner might consider this deal. If they are 0-2 nothing on the bench for rb's? Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yo mama Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Let's put on our thinking cap here... So far, and against Denver* and Green Bay (two decent defenses), Benson: - is tied for the most rushing attempts in the league (50); - is 6th in total rushing yards (217); - has 4.3 YPC (better than Tomlinson, Leon Washington, Portis, Grant, McFadden, Turner, Kevin Smith, "Fast" Willie Parker, or Forte); and - has (roughly) the 4th easiest schedule against the run from Week 3 through Week 16. We'll see what he does against the Steelers next week, but everything seems for real right now. And I hate Benson, as a person. * Don't laugh at Denver. Much. Traditionally a leak run DEF, they allowed Cleveland only 54 rushing yards and no rushing TDs in Week 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah....keep Gore.. I am reading too much I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
