The Cincinnati running back is averaging 4

Cedric Benson Running Back Cincinnati BengalsBenson became the first running back since Larry Johnson of the Kansas City Chiefs (Dec. 10, 2006) to rush for over 100 yards in a game against the Baltimore Ravens.The Cincinnati running back is averaging 4.4 yards per carry and 14 fantasy points per week (standard scoring), forcing all of us who passed up on him in August (myself included) to kick ourselves for doubting the Bengals’ No. 1 workhorse.Expect another big game this Sunday when the Bengals play host to the Houston Texans.Three More Who Are Climbing1. Ahmad Bradshaw, New York Giants: He’s carried the ball 42 fewer times than Brandon Jacobs but has rushed for 20 more yards and scored one more touchdown. Look for Bradshaw to continue getting a healthy dose of the workload in the Big Apple.2. Austin Collie, Indianapolis Colts: Collie is likely to see a drop in value when Anthony Gonzalez returns to the lineup, but Sunday’s eight-reception, 97-yard, two-touchdown performance demonstrates that everyone on the field for the Colts gets some love.3.

Hines Ward, Pittsburgh Steelers: His seven catches in Week Five give Ward a total of 33 receptions through five games. That puts him on pace to catch 105 passes this season.Pick Him Up!Jeremy Maclin, Philadelphia Eagles: The rookie wide receiver pretty much cemented his role in the starting lineup by hauling in six passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Falling Down the Boards1. Jerome Harrison Running Back Cleveland BrownsRunning back Jamal Lewis returned from a hamstring injury Sunday and picked up right where he left off, averaging less than four yards per carry (3.8) and scoring no touchdowns.This was a very interesting approach from head coach Eric Mangini, especially since Harrison stepped into the starting lineup in Week Four against a tough Bengals defense and picked up 152 total yards while averaging 4.2 yards per carry.In any event, it looks as if Harrison will resume the backup role while Lewis will handle the bulk of the carries.2. The San Francisco 49ers Defense/Special TeamsWell, it was fun while it lasted.After a red-hot start to the 2009 season, San Francisco was lit up in Week Five by the high-octane Falcons offense for 45 points and 477 total yards of offense.

Every fantasy-relevant player on Atlanta’s offense put up an impressive statistical performance.Things won’t get any easier for the Niners’ defense as their upcoming schedule looks like this:BYE, at Houston, at Indianapolis, Tennessee, Chicago, at Green BayOh yeah, they also have games against the Seahawks, Cardinals, and Eagles still on the schedule.3. Terrell Owens & Lee Evans Wide Receivers Buffalo BillsWords can’t even describe the disappointment these two have been this year. I’ll let the numbers do the talking:Fantasy points per week: Owens (5.2), Evans (4.2)Combined number of touchdowns: 2Combined number of yards: 361To put it in perspective, Miles Austin posted a 37-point fantasy day against the Chiefs (standard scoring) Evans and T.O. Derek Anderson, Cleveland Browns: It’s not like his value was that high heading into Week Five, but any time you complete just two of 17 passes against a team like the Buffalo Bills, you’re going to take some heat.2. Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia Eagles: His eight touches on Sunday happened to be the same number that rookie running back LeSean McCoy had Not a good sign for the aging running back.3.

Willis McGahee, Baltimore Ravens: He’s only had six total carries over the past two weeks and hasn’t found the end zone since Week Three. It looks like this stock is starting to tumble.Get Rid of HimLarry Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs: Another miserable outing for L.J. on Sunday as he carried the ball 21 times for an unimpressive 37 yards. Put this stock in the Enron/Bernie Madoff portfolio.Hit me up on Twitter: JoeFortenbaugh.
