Will the real Cedric Benson please stand up? Honestly Ceddy, we have no idea who you are. One second you’re torching a stout rush D like the Jets for 169 yards and a touchdown on just 21 carries, the next you’re squeaking out just 53 yards on 15 carries against a porous defense like the Chargers. You were an absolute workhorse in college and rarely missed a down, let alone a game, yet in the pros, you have yet to play a full season and have become a near-lock to miss time during the year. Still, your 2009 season showed all the cynics exactly why the Bengals took a chance on you as you single-handedly turned what was thought to be a pure passing team into a team that ran the ball more than 28 other teams in the league. We’re guessing you and Thomas Jones are just fine with the Bears giving up on you…
~ Set career bests in yards (1,251), attempts (301), yards/attempt (4.2), yards/game (96.2), and total yards from scrimmage (1,362)
Benson is one of the more polarizing running backs going into fantasy drafts this year. Some people love him, most people hate him. The fact is, if CedBen can stay healthy for an entire year (long-shot), he’ll probably be a #1 starting RB for fantasy teams in 2010. And still, even if he plays in just ¾ of the Bengals games, he’s still a decent RB2 in most fantasy leagues out there. That’s how strong of a player Benson has become at this point in his career. However, there are clearly risks with this guy: 1) He’s never made it through an entire 16-game NFL season in his 5-year career. 2) The Bengals just re-stocked at the wide receiver position and can very easily become a pass-heavy team yet again. 3) One good year after a career of mediocrity does not a #1 RB make. However, as it is with most atypical guys in the NFL (i.e. Brandon Marshall), sometimes the chances you take are exactly the moves that put you over the top in your fantasy league. No guts no glory baby.
~ Can Benson finally stay healthy for an entire season?
~ Will Carson Palmer and his strong WR corps go back to a pass-heavy offense?
~ Will Benson do something stupid (as he usually does) and self-destruct before the season even starts?

Benson is in the final year of the two-year deal he signed back in March of 2009. Expect him to continue his current success in the hopes of turning it into a fat multi-year deal next offseason as the Bengals are hesitant to extend him at the moment. Here’s his final year salary:
2010 - $2.65 million
2011 – Free Agent
Bernard Scott is the handcuff to Benson. He contributed nicely to the Bengals offense last year while Benson was out, and considering Ced’s injury history, you’d be wise to pick this kid up later on in your draft
The guy gets banged up in more ways than one, and though he won't get a suspension from the league for his latest arrest (fighting while under the influence), he should. Simply put, the guy drinks too much
