Heck no, keep Benson. You're in good shape at WR already, don't make any stupid panic moves after just one week. I can't imagine that the waiver wire would have a WR with more upside than Benson.
It's been widely known for a long time that Thomas Jones would be the starter in week 1. That doesn't mean he'll be the starter all year... sure, it's possible, but it's hardly guaranteed.

Dont drop Benson! He will be the starter by week 5 at the latest. I say he starts by week 3. Although Thomas Jones is the better back - for now at least - the Bears coaching staff love Benson and ensure that he will soon be the starter.
Your back-field with Jackson, Parker, and Taylor is pretty solid and should be dependable throughout the season, which makes Benson expendable. You can either keep Benson until he becomes the starter and his stock rises, enabling you to trade and receive a better play in return, or trade him off now - being sure to sell the dealing owner on the fact that Benson will soon be the starter.
But if you trade him now, you can't expect to get too much... unless you trade him to the owner with Thomas Jones, who would be more interested in Benson at this point than any other owner.
Whatever you do, do not drop him. He will be scooped up immediately. So, try to get some value for him first. Good luck.

I think you're all set for RBs with Parker and Taylor, and to a lesser extend Jackson. Drop Benson and pick up a new WR to replace Javon Walker or Braylon Edwards.

I'd keep benson unless there is a good Wr on the waiver wire. He may eventualy start. You may also want to look at the team that has Thomas Jones and see if they would like to deal.

I'm thinking if you drop Benson you will be wishing you hadn't by week 4

I'd drop him, OR your 2nd QB, 2nd TE, 2nd K. Benson is good for depth, but you need some help at WR for sure.

Depends on the reciever, but I would keep him.
