Anybody else thinking it's time to dump Benson? (1 Viewer)

Drafted this guy a few years ago in a dynasty league and I really thought this would be the year my patience paid off. But he has been horrible. Is it time to just admit the mistake and move on? Anybody holding out hope that he turns things around?

 
Here's the upside- barring injury things arent likely to get worse. The Bears will roll with Benson at this point so long as he doesnt absolutely start killing them (massive fumbles etc) this season, and as the year wears on and it turns colder running the ball should get easier. For a back that had any heart I would say its a great opportunity. But for Benson I can only say he may start sniffing 4 y/c and a handful of TDs. Besides, who can you get to replace that at this point (and if you can you already should have!) There are too many horror story backfields this year to be TOO upset with Benson. At least he's out there giving you carries every week.

 
He was part of a package deal that I just traded for as I think he will continue to get the carries...

19, 24, 16, 15, 27, 18, 17....with about 12 rec mixed in

with the state of RB's right now, I think you could do a lot worse.....as far as touches, for sure....and just my two cents, but I think his lack of production may have a little more to do with the teams overall lack of success....I am taking the gamble that the defense gets it turned around when healthy and we see more ball control and better field position to deal with....optimistic that his stats gradually improve as opposed to declining......schedule looks fairly okay the rest of the way....weather getting colder, etc....I think he is a safe play and you could do a lot worse........
