FWIW, I think T. Jones outperforms Benson this year in NY.

Well DUH!Benson doesn't have any games in New York this year.

Its the offseason, so I won't bother cleverly disguising this post.My league lets us keep 1 sleeper keeper (a guy drafted after a certain round each year).This year, I've got a wealth of very good options.I've got Benson, MJD, and DeAngelo Williams.I'm torn, because I honestly feel that MJD is just a superior back. However, his opportunity will be impacted by Fred Taylor staying in Jax. On the other hand, Benson isn't sharing the rock next season.Anyways, if I had to make my choice today, I'd go with Benson. I just think the opportunity outweighs talent when evaluating these two.So, its your draft, which of these two do you take first? The explosive guy in a sharing situation, or the guy who plods along in clouds of dust but gets fed the rock?

I can't see how you can justify keeping bensen over MJD. You say Fred will impact his numbers and all I think is ..."Why didn't he do that this year then? MJD went crazy even with Freddie around so what will next year change?Give me MJD in a HEARTBEAT!!!

When Taylor was healthy, MJD didn't get enough carries for me to ever feel comfortable starting him. Sure, he made the most of his opportunities and broke several long ones, but you can't rely on those opportunities being there from game to game when you're sharing carries.
