Benson vs. Leon W vs. Addai (1 Viewer)

[bakes]

PPR redraft league, 1 pt/20 yds, 6 pts/TD.

Looking forward, who would you roster at your RB3? Benson seems to have the most stable situation, while both Addai (Brown) and Leon (Jones) are sharing touches. Leon has that " could go off at any time" thing but doesn't seem to be used in the passing game as much under Ryan as he was under Mangini.

Thoughts? I'm leaning Benson...

Benson. looks like Ciiny wants to run the ball and Benson should get alot of carries

Yeah, I just picked up Benson as my flex myself. He's the man in Cincinnati, and I think Marvin Lewis trusts him a lot more than he ever trusted Rudi Johnson or Corey Dillon.

In a PPR league, you need to consider Leon. Contract year, Excellent hands, and teams are beginning to respect Sanchez. Leon will get his as defenses soften up against the run and dump-offs. Leon hasn't been used that much to this point as a pass catching back this year. That will surely change. He's too valuable an asset in that role for them not to utilize him. and I'm sorry to any TJ fans, but he is SLLLOOOWWWW. I'm a Jets fan and I love what TJ has done for us, but it's time to involve Leon more. It will happen.

When? Because in non PPR/TD heavy he is getting to be a hot potato on my roster. 5 points on the year.

Benson is a beast right now. Whether it's because he has put down the pipe, needs money, whatever, you ride him while he is playing like the RB he was destined to be...

This. Benson is the running attack for the Bengals - the other two split time. Benson is averaging 4.4 ypc, is being utilized (albiet not much) in the passing games, is running well and hasn't put the ball on the ground yet this year either.And as far as the PPR thing, Benson has 5 receptions, Washington has 7 and Addai 9 - so it's not like the other two are getting 5 and 6 catches per game. The amount of rushing yards Benson will get (especially has he is averaging 22 carries per game) will significantly outweigh the difference in receptions.
