Portis or Benson to start at RB?

Postby drewmo7 » Fri Sep 11, 2009 5:20 am

I need two starters at RB. I currently have Addai and Portis active. Is Cedric Benson vs. DEN a better option than Portis? I also have Mike Bell on the bench. If Detroit's D has not improved, he could have a good game. Thoughts.

as a Bears fan, there's no way i can endorse you playing Benson. He just never ran hard, I don't know why everyone is so high on him now. I'd go w/ the proven producer.


help me out?

I would start Benson. He is playing against a terrible defense and there is no one in Cincy to take carries from him. Portis has a very tough matchup on the road. I am not a Benson fan, but you have to go with him this week.

You have to start your studs. I would start Portis, though I think Benson will have a good game.

Don't overthink it in Week 1. Start Portis.

Portis has bruised ribs + he's no longer the every down back + he's facing the Giants on the road = play Benson
