Slaton or Benson??

Postby paco785 » Fri Sep 11, 2009 2:18 pm

I'm a little concerned with Slaton not living up to our expectations in his sophomore year especially going up against an underrated Jets defense. The Jets were top 10 against the run last year and the Broncos were #27. Who would you guys start??

PPR league

QB 1 - Matt Schaub
QB 2 - Shaun Hill
RB 1 - Steve Slaton @ Jets OR Cedric Benson @ Den
RB 2 - Thomas Jones
WR 1 - Andre Johnson
WR 2 - Randy Moss
FLEX - Greg Jennings
TE - Kellen Winslow
DST - Jets

B - Brett Favre (QB)
B - Larry Johnson (RB)
B - Isaac Bruce (WR)
B - Chester Taylor (RB)
B - Rashard Mendenhall (RB)
B - Shonn Greene (RB)

Thanks in advance!!

Steve Slaton is going to be fine. Don't judge a player based on pre-season. Give it coupla weeks before starting to make conclusions.

I would start Slaton for sure.

Benson could have a great game due to Denver's poor run defense, maybe you think about sitting Jones in favor of Benson.

I would start Slaton because he is good at football and Benson is not.

Although Denver has an incredibly weak run D, Benson still has much to prove in my mind. I would go Slaton all the way.

Help with mine?

NORMALLY... I'd say Slaton. From his performance in pre-season and the fact that indications are he'll be losing all those short yardage red-zone TD's that made im important last year.. I'd go with a BENSON (THIS WEEK) in a perfect match-up for him and no RB competion for touches.

Benson and Slaton should both start. Thomas Jones should not.
