  • Benson unhappy in Cincinnati?: Cedric Benson admitted that he "wasn't a big fan" of the changes made to the Bengals' offense in 2011. Both Benson and offensive coordinator Jay Gruden spoke to the Cincinnati Enquirer about the Bengals' run game, which finished the season ranked 19th in the league and accounted for 10 touchdowns; only nine teams did worse. Benson did not like splitting reps with Bernard Scott. "I don't know what the future's going to hold. You never know going into being a free agent, things like that," said Benson. " ... I wasn’t a big fan of [the offensive changes]. Granted I don't make those decisions or calls and I have to find a way to make it work. It was something they started soon after the first game. There was a vision where they saw the offense going. I may not like it or agree with it but I’ll make it work if given the opportunity." Gruden had this response to the Benson-Scott balancing act: "From a consistency standpoint you'd like to get Bernard more carries, more touches and Cedric has earned the right to be a feature back. ... The more you give it to Bernard the more you've got Cedric over there scratching his head and not real happy. Really, to me, on a good football team nobody should worry about who's scoring or who's getting the ball so long as the team is moving."

    Fantasy Analysis
    To be fair, he did rush for over 1,000 yards for the third straight season (though his rushing numbers have dipped in each of his last three seasons) and put up six touchdowns -- he's had at least that many in each of his last three. And while he didn't have all the carries for the Bengals, he still put up 273 totes and had 67 percent of all carries among the running backs. While we think Benson has some gas left in the tank -- he has only 1,529 career carries in seven seasons -- the days of him being an effective every-down back are numbered. This was his first season in three years averaging less than 20 carries per game (18.2 per 2011 contest) and we could see him trend downward while sharing with another back. Assuming that's the case, we wouldn't trust Benson as anything more than a No. 3 RB on Draft Day. He's become mid-round pick material.
