How will the Cincinnati Bengals do this season?
Asked in: A.J. Green, Andre Caldwell, Andy Dalton, Bernard Scott, Brian Leonard, Carson Palmer, Cedric Benson, Cincinnati D/ST, Clint Stitser, Jay Finley, Jermaine Gresham, Jerome Simpson, Jordan Shipley, Mike Nugent, Ryan Whalen
It will be a tough year for the Bungles... I'd be tempted by the young WR's there (since they will be behind a bunch) but I think they will have huge challenges at QB.
Who is a better draft pick: BenJarvus Green-Ellis or Cedric Benson?
Asked in: BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Cedric Benson, Running Backs, New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals
No answers yet! Jump on it and be the first.
Who is a better draft pick: Cedric Benson or Ladainian Tomlinson?
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Ladainian Tomlinson, Running Backs, Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets
This is a tough question. Honestly I really would not pick anyone from the bengals until their issues get sorted out!! Without anyone at the QB position every week a brick wall will be waiting for Benson. Even with the brick wall though the Bengals might not have any choice but to use Benson as a workhorse. On the other hand you have LT who is the number 2 back in NY. With LT you have to worry about Shonne Greene getting most of the runs yet it is still important to mention LT will prob get around 600 yards and 5-8 touchdowns. In the end I think Benson will have a slightly better year then LT.
Who is a better draft pick: Cedric Benson or Knowshon Moreno?
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Knowshon Moreno, Running Backs, Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos
I'll go with Moreno. Benson is solid but with no QB or WR's to help pull any pressure off him he will be shut down this year.
Is Cedric Benson a candidate to be a bust?
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Cincinnati Bengals, Running Backs
The guy has been all over the place. Well utilized, poorly utilized, great players around him, not so great players, injuries, coaching decisions. I would not count him a bust as he did pretty much win the division (in tandem with Carson Palmer) for the Bengals in 2009, but I think more than anything he will go down as a good utility guy if he doesn't make some noise this year. Another player with a high ceiling who never quite lived up for one reason or another.
In a PPR league, who should I flex this week between Cedric Benson, Jeremy Maclin, or Mark Ingram?
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Jeremy Maclin, Mark Ingram, Cincinnati Bengals, Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints
Benson is the play. Rookie QB needs to relay on the run and dump offs. Maclin is still coming back and ingram wont get many grabs until mid season
How nasty was Cedric Benson this week?
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Cincinnati Bengals
Surprisingly he averaged good yardage per carry. Don't be so quick to judge in week 1.
Who would you go with Cedric Benson or Knowshon Moreno?
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Knowshon Moreno
I would go with Benson over Moreno. Benson moved the ball well, and will see the majority of the touches. He is a starting back. Therefore you play him.
eli or fitzpatrick, benson over mjd week 2?
Asked in: Eli Manning, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Cedric Benson, Maurice Jones-Drew
Good questions man I think these are both a coin toss. I looked up the projections on two fantasy expert sites and were both neck in neck. MJD looked pretty darn good but didnt get that many carries and he faces the Jets but is a better athlete than Benson. Fitz looked great last week but you cant really expect that again altho the Rams secondary is a mess...
Start Hillis or Benson? I don't think Hillis will put up the numbers he did last year overall, but he is a tempting play against that Indy defence.
Asked in: Peyton Hillis, Cedric Benson, Running Backs
I'd go Hillis this week. They're going to run the ball non-stop against Indy.
Who should I start? Shonn Greene or Cedric Benson?
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Shonn Greene
Shonn Greene, Jets should be ahead all game and will run the ball.
Three Positions, 1 RB/WR flex, 1RB, 1 WR...who should I start?
Asked in: Ahmad Bradshaw, Cedric Benson, Kenny Britt, Jordy Nelson, Wide Receivers, Running Backs
I need 3 rbs from mjd, hillis, benson, reg bush, b. Wells
Asked in: Maurice Jones-Drew, Cedric Benson, Reggie Bush
C. Benson vs. SF or DeAng Williams vs. JAC? I am leaning Williams against that D.
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Deangelo Williams
Got another one. Flex play, Benson or Tate?
Asked in: Cedric Benson
Roll with Tate. He's the new Foster till of course the old Foster comes back!
Trade Ray Rice?
Asked in: Ray Rice, Cedric Benson, Brandon Marshall, Kenny Britt, Wide Receivers, Running Backs
Can you get Nate Washington or Amendola? I'd probably not do that trade, sounds like they are squeezing you. You can probably patch this week with Steve Smith (PHI) or Bess something like that. What's your RB situation? I usually want to have only RBs in flex if possible. Benson is 3 games out so that's already a problem.
Flex slot in a non ppr league: Should I start Cedric Benson, Julio Jones, or Torrey Smith
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Torrey Smith, Julio Jones
trade help
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Dez Bryant, Ryan Fitzpatrick
With Bryant sort of hurt and Benson possibly facing suspension, if I had Arian Foster, who is now fully healthy, I wouldn't give up Fostre for that.
big trade proposed to me
Asked in: Aaron Rodgers, Cedric Benson, Dez Bryant, Devery Henderson, Ben Roethlisberger, Vincent Jackson, Arian Foster, Michael Crabtree
I would do it only if u have a running back to replace foster. Not a big time rb but someone who will put up respectable points. Rodgers is a beast and Big Ben is doing bad this season. I would do it
Sproles Orton Eagles D for Benson, Fitzpatrick, Mike Williams (TB)
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Cedric Benson, Ryan Fitzpatrick
Who are your starters/what are your starting roster spots. Straight up that sounds great for you, but depends who you got
A little trade help needed!
Asked in: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Cedric Benson, Ryan Mathews, Jason Campbell
I like Fitz but not Benson.. Like Mathews but not Campbell! I think Fitz is the better QB and Mathews is the better RB. Which do you need more in your roster?
Would you trade Pierre Garcon and Cedric Benson for Matt Forte?
Asked in: Pierre Garcon, Cedric Benson, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Wide Receivers
Jermichael Finley and Cedric Benson for Fred Jackson and Dallas Clark
Asked in: Jermichael Finley, Cedric Benson, Fred Jackson, Dallas Clark
I'd rather have Fred Jackson than anyone else by far. Clark is a throw away at this point. Decently fair.
Small trade.
Asked in: Brandon Lloyd, Cedric Benson, Deangelo Williams, Nate Burleson
I would do it, burleson is a 5th option, benson is getting a min. 2 game suspension. williams is the featured back lloyd has talent and hes getting traded so it might help him.
For a flex spot, and a WR 2 position, which of these three should I start today?
Asked in: Jordy Nelson, Pierre Garcon, Cedric Benson, Running Backs, Wide Receivers
Benson and Garcon... you got to go with a solid RB in the flex and I think you have to go with Garcon's upside.
I have been offered Aaron Rodgers and Cedric Benson for L. McCoy and Eli Manning. They all start weekly, none are backups or flex. Standard league. Should I do it?
Asked in: Aaron Rodgers, Lesean McCoy, Eli Manning, Cedric Benson
If you feel comfortable with your other RB's, that is not a bad trade. Rodgers is very dependable for scoring points and Benson should be the primary back. Only down side is if your league runs through week 16 or 17 of the season because Rogers could be on the bench for rest.
Trade Proposals
Asked in: Andre Johnson, Reggie Bush, Brent Celek, Steven Jackson, Anquan Boldin, Brandon Marshall, Cedric Benson
So you are doing it huh!! I like the first trade a whole lot better!!! you are giving up a whole lot for just SJax and Boldin, even though Reggie and Celek are throw aways! either way 2nd option is robbing the hell out of you!
Which 3 should I start? Shonn Greene, Ray Rice, Demarco Murray, and Cedric Benson
Asked in: Shonn Greene, Ray Rice, DeMarco Murray, Cedric Benson, Running Backs
Need One: Michael Bush, Cedric Benson, Ryan Mathews, or Roy Helu
Asked in: Michael Bush, Cedric Benson, Ryan Mathews, Roy Helu
I like Bush's chances against Washington this week. Mia has been playing strong and Bush has out produced all his fellow backs! Mathew's is very injury prone and as long as Tolbert is healthy he won't touch the ball in the end-zone! Helu plays musical chairs with his fellow backs and Cinci, who doesn't have a strong running game is facing a tough Pit D.
Should I trade Benson, Williams (TB), and Laurent Robinson for Andre Johnson, Daniel Thomas, and Dexter Mccluster
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Andre Johnson, Mike Williams (TB), Daniel Thomas
Definitely. Andre Johnson is the key player in this deal, and he could make a major difference in the playoffs for you.
Reggie Bush or Cedric Benson
Asked in: Reggie Bush, Cedric Benson
I would roll with the hot streak! Bush! he has been doing good as of late, while I think Cinci offense will hit a wall this week against Pit's D!
Gotta play 2 of the 3. Battle vs. DEN, Mo Morris @ CHI or C. Benson vs. PIT. Non-PPR. Thanks!
Asked in: Running Backs, Maurice Morris, Cedric Benson
Flex Help! Cedric Benson @ Bal or DeSean Jackson at NYG?
Asked in: Cedric Benson, DeSean Jackson
I just don't know about DeSean right now. His head/heart/attitude/whatever just doesn't seem to be right.
Need 3: Cedric Benson, Shonn Greene, Kevin Smith, Reggie Bush, and Michael Bush.
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Shonn Greene, Kevin Smith, Reggie Bush, Michael Bush
Team is decimated with injuries, but I've clinched a playoff birth and would love to get a bye week. I need to start 2 of the 3 here. Benson, Mo Morris or Toby Gerhart. Non-ppr.
Asked in: Toby Gerhart, Cedric Benson, Maurice Morris
Toby Gerhart or Cedric Benson
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Toby Gerhart, Cincinnati Bengals, Minnesota Vikings
Flex play - Shonn Greene, Cedric Benson, Laurent Robinson, or Toby Gerhart?
Asked in: Shonn Greene, Cedric Benson, Laurent Robinson, Toby Gerhart
good choices for flex. as much as I like Rb's at flex I have to say play Laurent. Miles is out again this week I think and Romo has keyed in on him more than any other WR on Dallas right now. If you don't want to play him then go with Green
I need one in a .5 PPR league Flex position: C. Benson, C.J. Spiller or M. Williams (TB).
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Mike Williams (TB), C.J. Spiller, Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
If DMC is back this changes, but my lineup is: rb1 - M. Bush rb2 R. Bush wr1 Megatron wr2 Fitz - who should I flex out: Greene, Barber, Benson, Gerhart, or Laurent Rob?
Asked in: Shonn Greene, Cedric Benson, Marion Barber, Laurent Robinson, Toby Gerhart
Easy. Shonn Greene just had a 3 TD day, and goes against KC. Only consideration is for Laurent Rob, but if Austin is coming back, he is not likely to score double digit points.
Flex play. Cedric Benson at home vs. Hou or Maurice Morris (Kevin Smith is out) at home vs. Vikings. Non-ppr.
Asked in: Running Backs, Cedric Benson, Maurice Morris
I'm partial to Morris this week with Smith out. and out of the 2 he has a better match-up
Need 3 from: Shonn Greene, Michael Bush, Reggie Bush, and Cedric Benson
Asked in: Shonn Greene, Cedric Benson, Michael Bush, Reggie Bush
You have to start R. Bush and Benson. Comes down to M. Bush v. Greene, and I don't know how you can trust the Oakland O after the huge shit they took against GB. On the other hand, they did fall behind big early and probably abandoned the run, so combined with a porous Detroit run defense, M. Bush could have a good game. However, the Eagles run D is much worse than the Lions run D, so I'll probably slot Greene in over Michael Bush, as distasteful as it seems.
Not a PPR league and I have to use three - Cedric Benson, Michael Bush, Ryan Mathews or Frank Gore...Help!
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Michael Bush, Ryan Mathews, Frank Gore
Benson, Mathews and Bush. The choice is really between Gore and Bush ... and while I like Gore... Bush has scored a TD is three of last four games.
need 2 - m. bush, shonn greene, and cedric benson. also have kahlil bell, but wasnt really considering him.
Asked in: Michael Bush, Shonn Greene, Cedric Benson
RB - Need Three - Ryan Mathews, Michael Bush, Cedric Benson, Frank Gore or Kahlil Bell - Championship Game!
