BigMikeinNY Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 In a PPR league, I see Benson currently ranked #21 in RB. He has played every single week. He has more fantasy points than the following players: Frank Gore Shaun Alexander Thomas Jones Steven Jackson Brandon Jacobs So why are we so mad?

Belushi Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I am a Chicago Homer....it is not Benson. When they call runs that go outside, he makes good runs. When they call runs off tackle, the line can't block. This line has gotten old and in one offseason. It happens...and it happens quite a bit. Benson is a good back. He made a number of tough runs and runs after the catch last Sunday. I think Lovie's criticism of the running game is more line driven than Cedric driven. I have watched almost every snap this year and see the same shiat with Peterson when he takes his handoffs as well. Sorry, but I don't buy it. Same O-line, same QB, same WR's, same coaching staff. Last year with those parts Thomas Jones did very well. I find it hard to believe that the rest of the offence and coaching have all declined from last year, but that Benson is not the problem. It just makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're plugging Benson in every week at RB2 you're maybe getting 6, 7 or 8 points out of him. That is not going to win you many games. Also, he's #21 RB and yet he's played every week? That right there is a condemnation - in this season of injuries, the #1 RB for the Chicago Bears is only the 21st FF points scoring RB? Jesus.
