Correction... Addai returns.

I just read that Larry Johnson is going to sign with the Bengals today. Ouch that can't be a good sign for Benson owners as maybe his injury is a bit more serious.

Hmmm... the Bengals next 3 games are @OAK, vs. CLE and vs. DET. For fantasy playoffs: @MIN, @SD and vs. KC.

I wonder if Cincy will consider resting Benson for the next 3 games to have him fresh for their playoff push? Even if LJ splits reps, he could ramp up quickly on their goal line plays and provide some 10-15 pt/gm value?

Early reports make it sound like Turner and Jones will miss at least a game, maybe more. Benson is a gametime decision. Wonder how many leagues have Snelling or Forsett available as free agents.

i have a hard time imagining them splitting reps... benson is a sensitive guy.

i also don't believe his injury is as serious as some people are suggesting, i.e., serious at all. word from the coach and benson was that he expects to play next week... although admittedly, none of the 3 of us have medical degrees.

Snelling might be aviable in a few leagues as he's been hurt for a few weeks and Turner has been tearing it up.I cant see Forsett being out there as he only has J Jones in his way and he has already been the 3rd down back having a little value.Ive been waiting all year for Forsett as he has number 1 running back upside.

I have both Forsett and Snelling on my WCOFF team and I must admit these injuries couldn't have come at a better time for me. With the WCOFF league playoffs starting week 12 I'll have a couple more options at running back to plug in besides Charles or Fred Jackson as I try to win my league championship.

I also like Forsett alot and hope he keeps the job. I have him on multiple teams along with Snelling.

Like Eddie said I can't see Forsett being avaialble but Snelling is probably available in a few leagues.
