TRU SOLDJA 22 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Ive been offered Slaton for Benson. Should i do it? Neck injuries scare me. PPR dynasty. Does Slaton bounce back? And does Benson fall off after a 300 carry season? Please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Champ is Here Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Benson will fall off Yes, Slaton could do very well, he had 44 rec. last season and missed 5 games. Thing is, Slaton could be bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airupthere67 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Slaton is a small RB and the Texans have come out and said that he is not the top guy there. They really don't have one. Benson ran like a beast last year. I think Slaton will be a 3rd down RB and a spell guy. Not worth a team's unquestioned starter in Benson.

I would not do that deal - you would be getting hosed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson ran like a beast last year. I think Slaton will be a 3rd down RB and a spell guy. Not worth a team's unquestioned starter in Benson. They have not said this. John McClain, a beat writer said it. Kubiak said that he believes the neck injury that Slaton just had fixed had something to do with his fumbling issue. I think they role with Slaton/Foster next year and leave the RB position alone in the draft. There offense didn't stall all year. It's the D that's failed them. I'd take Slaton. In a PPR, I'd take Slaton in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piles Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'd keep Benson as well even in a ppr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 News: During a press conference announcing a contract extension for Texans head coach Gary Kubiak, team owner Bob McNair said the Texans need to bolster their depth at running back before next season. Kubiak agrees -- Houston ranked 30th in rushing last season (92 yards per game), ahead of only Indianapolis and San Diego. Both those teams won their divisions, but Kubiak added the Texans need a stronger running game to complement their high-powered passing attack. "We can go out there and throw it with anybody in the business. I don't think that's what's best for our team in the long run," Kubiak said. "We've got to be more dominant late in games. Some games we lost, it was because we couldn't hang onto the football late in those games. It's very important in the development of our team, taking the next step. It wasn't good enough last year."

cbwv Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Benson with 300+ carries, was to much and will not be able to keep up that pace this next year. I think he will be taken way to high in this years drafts. I would hang with Slaton. I think he rebounds from the surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Slaton is garbage. He won't even be the starter. This is a no-brainer. NO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaton will outscore Benson in a ppr. Regardless if Slaton starts or not, he's still a big part of a RBBC. To think they've given up on him all together is foolish.

Regardless if Slaton starts or not, he's still a big part of a RBBC. To think they've given up on him all together is foolish. We are talking a so-called starter for a starter trade here. Lets keep this in perspecitve. Sure he has value....in a 16 team league that starts 3 RB's. Next. Edited March 7, 2010 by tazinib1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
