Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Benson struggled much of last season. Then he put together back-to-back games in which he averaged 7.0 yards per carry, only to suffer the season-ending injury -- the fourth of his three-year career. His inability to stay healthy -- and his spotty performances when he as been -- already had Angelo conceding his former first-round pick will have to earn the starting job this summer. It'll be interesting to see if Angelo adds a significant challenger in this weekend's draft.
