I'll Be Chatting On Wednesday At 2 PM EST

I'm going to rise my head out from underneath some fantasy magazines tomorrow so that I can host a chat here on the NFFC boards. I'll be here at 2 p.m. ET so bring your questions, comments, thoughts about "The Sopranos" finale - I have a thought about it but rather than sharing it I'm going to let you interpret it instead.

So be here tomorrow and we'll have some fun.

Tom, what is your take on DaBears Cedric Benson - it would seem like the "main" RB for that team should have numbers close to your suggested (in the mag) 1400+ yards and 11 TDs; but current ADP doesn't seem to reflect that.

Are injury or attitude questions still lingering with Benson?

Hey Tommy!

Analysing Lane Kiffin's history in order to predict his future...

It looks like a split scenario with logical RB's Rhodes and Jordan. Not much of a chance at a feature RB. Will they both be starter(flex) worthy...or stay away and hope one gets the workload?

I'm not sure why Benson is being valued where he has been thus far. One possible reason is the glut of talented RBs this year. That's going to push a lot of good players lower than they would go in other years.

But I think Benson is talented and he's in a great situation. We know the Bears can and will run the ball. He has no meaningful competition for carries. The job is his as long as he doesn't screw it up. And I don't believe he will. His attitude has been an issue in the past but I think he realizes the door has been opened for him now. No Thomas Jones. The job is his. And I think he's going to run with it.

~Lance It think it'll be a pure RBBC with the "hot hand" guy getting the bulk of the work from game to game.

In other words, I'd avoid both of them if possible.

Hey Tom,

Does Marion Barber get to be man this year in Dallas...Will he get more carries then JJ???

What are your thoughts on Maurice Jones-Drew? Will Fred Taylor take much production away from him, or will Maurice get most of the carries this year? I know a lot of people don't think he can take the beating that a full time running back in the NFL must take. I personnally think he will be alright. I'm more concerned with Fred Taylor taking production away. What are your thoughts?

Will Thomas Jones have much success with the NYJ?

Your thoughts on A. Peterson and C. Taylor in Minn...

Thanks

Curious as what your KDS would be this year...? I'd probably go 1-4 and then start with 14 on up. Maybe be willing to take the Top 5 and then reverse it. The talent in the first round is deep this year I like all of the spots - even in a 14-team league like the NFFC. But if I can get one of the top 4/5 guys I'm taking it.
