Charles.

Benson slid a bit towards the end while Charles excelled. My only worry about Charles is he is small and might not be able to handle the full load for all 17 weeks. You might end up seeing another back in the mix next year stealing his carries.

You could make an argument to keep Benson over Wayne. Really depoends on whether you want a balanced team or you want to be strong at RB.

I would probably keep Charles and Benson. The Bengals have already said that they want to be a run first team again next year and right now there is no one to take carries away from Benson. A lot of things can happen between now and week 1 but if I had to choose today I would keep Charles and Benson

That is a tough one. I also think the upside of Charles is too good to pass up. I'd probably go with him and Wayne so I'd have a good foundation at RB and WR.

Hopefully Charles lives up to the hype. He looked awfully good this year.

Return the favor?

Let's not over think this.... Benson is NOT a receving back period. Mr. Charles had 40rec and has the speed to take it to the house with every touch regardless if it's running or receiving.

Help me..

In a PPR format Wayne scored more than Benson by almost ~60 points. I really don't think much will change going into next year. Wayne is more favorable than Benson in my eyes...in your format you only really need to start one RB. It would be great to keep both Charles and Benson but I would roll the dice and go with Charles.

Charles and Wayne

In your format, this is the right way to go.

I have to say, if it were standard, Wayne would get the hose again for not putting the lotion on the skin! ;-D
