Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Benson was Chicago’s first-round selection in the 2005 draft. He played in 35 games with 12 starts for the Bears from 2005-07, rushing for 1593 yards on 420 carries (3.8) with 10 TDs. He also had 26 receptions for 180 yards. ... With Chris Perry having problems holding onto the ball and the Bengals struggling in general, it could be an opportunity for Benson to establish himself as a front-line player.
