Early week 5 RB2 help: Benson or J. Jones?

Postby Whisper » Mon Oct 05, 2009 9:52 am

In light of Benson's performances in weeks 1-4, I'm not at all ready to give up on the guy after the Brown's sold out to stop the run at all costs yesterday. But I do wonder if J. Jones's up-and-down cycle is ready for another "up" week against Jacksonville. So, do I go with:

Benson vs. Baltimore
J. Jones vs. Jax

As my RB2 in week 5? 12-team league, 1PPR, all else standard yahoo scoring.

isn't benson playing the ravens and not the bears?
tough call here
i'd start benson over jones though

an up, down pattern is not enough reason to start jones over benson

Sorry about that; you're right, he is playing the Ravens, not sure what I was thinking putting Chicago.

And thanks for the input.

I agree Benson has been to strong to bench for Jones' inconsistency.
