SUMMARY
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.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
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.
Joe Reedy, of The Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson (hip) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 20. He is listed as doubtful for Week 11.
Fantasy Impact: Benson is not expected to play. Bernard Scott should get the start but Brian Leonard and Larry Johnson also will be in the mix for carries.

Joe Reedy, of The Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson said the team's signing of RB Larry Johnson will not affect him in any way moving forward. 'I didn't know I was supposed to be jumping out of my seat or anything. I really have no feelings about it,' Benson said. 'They made a move they felt they needed to do, and that's fine with me. It's not going to affect me in any kind of way. Whatever happens from here on, I can guarantee you I'll definitely be making the best of it. In most cases you hold your fate in your own hands. I'm not letting up in any aspect of what I'm doing. I would imagine that I would continue to be the first guy, and if not, I'll make it that way.'
