Every week, I pick one question from our Fantasy Football Q&A and post it on Sunday morning. This week’s question comes from Matt, who is wondering what to do with Cedric Benson.

“At RB, Pick 2. AP, Benson, and Charles. Leaning towards using Charles this week. Your thoughts?”

My answer: Charles looks like a better option than Benson this week, though Benson has run well against good rush DTs before (so be warned).

With the news that Benson is expected to share carries with Larry Johnson, Charles definitely looks like the better play this week. He has been hot (four straight games with a TD) and he has a terrific matchup against the league’s worst rush defense (BUF). Meanwhile, Benson has a terrible matchup (MIN) and is going to share carries with LJ. I’d bench him.
