Running Back Rank: #30
Overall: #60
Benson had plenty of off the field issues with the Bears, but got a new start with the Bengals last season. And he made the most of his chances with Cincy, starting the second half of the season. He had double-digit carries in 11 of 12 games and broke the 100-yard mark three times. His finish was most encouraging, rushing for 282 yards and a touchdown his last two games. Benson earned some work for the coming year with the Bengals. He'll compete to start. If he can get himself in top shape this offseason, Benson could be a factor as a starting NFL back. Benson doesn't have great speed, but runs with some power and has decent moves. He can also make some pays in the passing game.

Benson is intriguing. He set career highs in yardage on a really bad team and ran hard throughout the season. Benson could be a fantasy factor. Take him as a No. 3 back, though. He is too risky to take as anything higher, but there is upside with Benson, which is more than you can say for some backs. |
