The Facts:
The Bengals aren’t sure whether Benson will be available against the Browns this week because of strained hip muscles that prevented him from playing in Oakland. Rookie backup Bernard Scott made his first professional start and gained 119 yards on 21 carries.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
We'll continue to follow up on Benson in coming days. ... Meanwhile, Larry Johnson, who signed last Tuesday, got two carries for five yards. HC Marvin Lewis said that Johnson could have a bigger role against the Browns if Benson is out again. “Larry only got two snaps yesterday just because of the way the flow of the game went," Lewis explained. "But if indeed we get into a similar situation this week, I suspect we’ll feel more comfortable with him in more things. So I would expect he’ll get an opportunity to play more if Cedric is down, but Bernard did a good job. ...” We suspect getting a handle on possible workload division is going to be as difficult this week as last if Benson can't go, but we'll keep looking for more.
