Bears Cedric Benson Arrested Again – Fantasy Impact

admin — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 00:43:19 +0000

Cedric Benson of the Chicago Bears was arrested again. He was charged with drunken driving in Austin, Texas. In May, Benson was arrested while driving a boat after failing a sobriety test.

These two incidents surely won’t help his cause with the NFL or the Bears. With Roger Goodell handing out harsher punishments than past commissioners, this second arrest promises to result in some sort of suspension. A suspension will obviously lower Benson’s value in fantasy football.

The Bears may be getting close to giving up on Benson. He didn’t play well in 2007 and his 2008 campaign is already looking bad. If the Bears continue to support Benson, he likely has only one more year to prove his worth. Otherwise, the Bears would likely release or trade the running back out of the University of Texas.

The other options for the Bears at running back are Adrian Peterson (the other one), Garrett Wolfe and rookie Matt Forte. The Bears would love for Benson to straighten out all of his one the field and off the field problems, however that is looking less and less likely.

Limas Sweed – 2008 NFL Draft Prospect

Limas Sweed Stats
When looking for Limas Sweed stats, it’s best to look at the jumpers he put up as a junior. Sweed’s senior season was shortened due to an injury the forced him to miss the last seven games of Texas’ season. As a junior, Sweed’s stats are quite impressive. He had 12 touchdowns on 46 catches. He also had over 800 yards that season.

Limas Sweed Analysis
Even though Sweed is coming off of an injury, he’s too exciting of a prospect to let drop out of the first round. If there is a wide receiver with Randy Moss type skills, Sweed is the one. He’s tall, lanky and strong. Sweed is likely to go in the middle of the first round, with a possibility that he drops to the end of the first round.

Limas Sweed Fantasy Projections
Next to Malcolm Kelly, Sweed has to be the most fantasy football friendly wide receiver in the 2008 NFL draft. Sweed should be a touchdown threat right out of the gates in his professional career. While he likely won’t catch many passes is rookie season, it’s not too unlikely that he could have four or five touchdowns in his first year.

Jamaal Charles – 2008 NFL Draft Prospect

Jamaal Charles Stats
As a junior in 2007, Jamaal Charles got his first chance to carry the load. On the whole, he played very well. He finished the season with 1,619 yards and 18 rushing touchdowns. His 6.3 yards per carry is an impressive number. In the Holiday Bowl, Charles had 161 yards and two touchdowns in his last game for the University of Texas.

Jamaal Charles Analysis
The one thing you can’t question about Jamaal Charles is his speed. In addition to being a football star in high school, he was also a track star. His speed in the open field is extremely impressive. That said, at 6-foot-1 and 206 pounds, Charles needs to get bigger to thrive in the NFL level. Right now, he’d get beat up after a few games.

Jamaal Charles Fantasy Projections
The NFL team that drafts Jamaal Charles will likely do so to put him in a backup role in his rookie season. Due to his speed, he could possibly be a return man on the NFL level. In 2008, Charles shouldn’t have too much value in fantasy football. However, in a couple years he could find himself as a starter if he continues to prove doubters wrong.
