Start Addai or Benson??

Question

So my RBs are

Larry Johnson - SEA
Joseph Addai - DEN
Thomas Jones - SF
Willis McGahee - bye

I am picking up Benson off the waiver wire as rumor has it he will get more carries in the future. If this is the case, this seems like a good week to start him as he's playing SF (huge points) and Addai is up against Denver who hasn't allowed a rushing touchdown.

My question, is the possibility of Benson getting 15 carries for 65 yards and a TD in addition to Thomas Jones (hopefully) getting 100 yards 1.5TD worth more than Addai (who gets more carries than Rhodes now) possibly doing well against a team that proved it can stop the run in all forms?

Who do I start addai or benson?

Answer 1

You are definetley not using your head you pick up addai who is going to get more touches they only say bensons going to get touches to shut him up because he has been complaining HE SUCKS, everyone knows he sucks and he is never going to start as a bear if he does then they will suck, pick up addai whi is averaging 85 yards a game in total offense and is guaranteed to see the ball, Thomas Jones is going to run all over the pourous defense of the fourty niners, it does not matter that addai is playing the broncos because he will see catches too as peyton manning checks down to running backs often.

Answer 2

Start Jones and Johnson.

But if you have to choose between Addai or Benson, I'd definitely go with Benson. He's up against one of the worst defenses in the league and will surely get at least 15 carries. Addai, on the other hand, is facing one of the top 3 defenses in the league right now. And meanwhile he's sharing the ball with Rhodes, who clearly gets the goal line carries.

Check the waiver wire for wali lundy or leon washington. I'd start these two, with their favorable matchups, over benson and addai anyday.

Answer 3

id start addai over benson proves himself, that's the safer move. so far anytime benson is suppose to do something good its been hot air.

id go with larry johnson and jones for this week. addai won't do much vs denver

Answer 4

You have to go with Johnson obviously and Jones b/c hes the starter there and hea been for awhile and Benson hasnt quite clicked w/ the offense recently. Jones is rushing agaisnt a absolute terrible defense. Look for Jones to score in this game.

Answer 5

neither. start Johnson. Seattle has been major underachievers and with Trent Green coming back this week the Chiefs passing game is going to get better, which in turn opens up the run for Larry Johnson

Answer 6

Benson - Denvers D is too good.
