Cedric Benson, a Beast this weekend?

Cedric Benson is starting develop into the player that the Chicago Bears thought they were getting after selecting him with the 4^th overall pick in the 2005 draft.  After having a very disappointing career in the windy city, Cedric Benson is starting to blossom with the Cincinnati Bengals.  Benson is a must-start in all fantasy formats this weekend.  The Browns have looked like one of the worst teams in the NFL this season.  Are the Browns the 09-10 version of last years Lions?  We won’t start making bold predictions about the Browns going 0-16, but you get the point, they are awful. The Browns are allowing 184.3 yards a game rushing, which is ranked 30th in the league. Benson has rushed for 293 yards this season, which is good for 97.7 yards per game.  He will get plenty of touches this week, and could be a top fantasy performer, if you are lucky enough to have him, start him.

What Will Ochocinco Do Against the Defending Champs?

Is Ochocinco bound for a rebound?  We think so.  After an incredibly disappointing season in 08-09 (only 540 yards receiving and 4 touchdowns), Chad "Esteban" Ochocinco (formerly known as Chad Johnson), looks like he is well on his way to becoming an elite fantasy wide receiver once again.  He demonstrated during the pre-season that not only can he catch touchdowns, "Esteban" can also kick extra points.  We don't actually think his kicking game will be an asset this year in terms of fantasy, but what can't Chad do?  During the off season, "Esteben" brought boxing into his workout routine!  It seems to be working thus far.   "Esteban" showed us on Twitter that he can; rap, cook, box, kick, etc, the list could go on forever. 

But can he return to being an elite wide-receiver again?  In the first two games of the 09-10 season, Ochocinco is averaging 90 yards a game, and last week caught his first touchdown of the season at Green Bay.  Not only did he catch a touchdown, but he did the "Lambeau Leap"!  He did what? At Green Bay? No way? Yes, he did folks, its just Chad being Chad, as Manny would say.  His week 3 opponents the Pittsburgh Steelers, are giving up an average of 232.5 yards a game through the air.  Can they cover Ochocinco?   We think he is good for at least 130 yards receiving, and yes a touchdown score.  What will he do, if and when he crosses the pylon? Child Please!  We can't answer that, only Esteban knows!
