Massamule Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) Alright, I know its early but I'm already pumped about this years fantasy football season. I just made a trade to get the 3rd pick in our 12 man dynasty rookie draft. I used to have #5 but we swapped picks plus I gave him D Bennett. Pretty sure the first two picks will be R. Brown(#1) and C. Williams(#2). Now that leaves me with JJ Arrington and C Benson. Which guy do you think I should take? I'm leaning towards Arrington because I've heard he's just in too good of a situation to pass up in Arizona. He's got a big and pretty good O-line and the system suits his style of play (at least thats what I've read). I don't know much about these guys because when it comes to college football, I pretty much have tunnel vision...I just like to watch the Badgers. Any input would be helpful. We start: 1 QB 2 RB 3 WR 1 TE 1 K 1 D Here's our scoring: QB - 6pts TD, 250 yds+ 5 pts ( plus 1 pt every 50 additional yards) RB - 6pts TD, 100 yds+ 6pts ( plus 1 pt every 25 additional yards) WR - 6pts TD, 75 yds+ 5pts ( plus 1 pt every 25 additional yards) TE - 6 pts TD, 50 yds+ 5pts (plus 1 pt every 25 QQadditional yards) And here's my team: QB Collins, Kerry OAK Green, Trent KCC McCown, Josh ARI (going to cut) RB Anderson, Richie (going to cut) Brown, Chris TEN Duckett, T.J. ATL Dunn, Warrick ATL Harris, Joey CAR (going to cut) Tomlinson, Ladainian SDC WR Branch, Deion NEP Burleson, Nate MIN Gaffney, Jabar HOU (going to cut) Holt, Torry STL Horn, Joe NOS TE Gonzalez, Tony KCC PK Brown, Kris HOU Feely, Jay NYG D Falcons, Atlanta ATL Panthers, Carolina CAR Edited July 13, 2005 by Massamule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I like Arrington's situation, but think Benson's the better player & will have more long-term value ... I can see him sharing carries w/T. Jones early in the sason, but would still expect Benson to get the goal line work, which may improve his fantasy numbers in relation to his number of carries ... assuming of course, that CHI can get near the goal line with any frequency. If I remember correctly, Arrington had a bit of a rep as a fumbler in college, and I've also read that he's not a very strong pass-blocker ... with the statue-like K. Warner at QB for ARI, that can't make D. Green too comfortable. I'd probably take my chances with Benson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I like Arrington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Arrington is in an easier division=easier schedule...and in a better offense... plus, you never know if T Jones is going to outperform Benson...with Grossman in, TJ played like a top 5 back..

wolfden1 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 ...and in a better offense... 882522[/snapback] Wow, you don't get to say that about the Cardinals offense often now do ya?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haskel Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I like Arrington...sounds like he's gonna be the workhorse in ARIZ....can't say the same for Benson as long as TJones is around. I would agree that Benson is the more talented RB...but Arrington is in a better situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 this is a dynasty league. arrington may perform better this year because he's in a better situation. but long term you've got to go with benson. look at the track record of running backs drafted in the top 5 of a draft. i think you'd be making a HUGE mistake to pass on benson.
