Football players still looking for work in mid-August really can't be too choosy, but if new Green Bay Packers running back Cedric Benson was looking for a place where he could produce statistics similar to what he accomplished the past few seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, and be on a winning team, he might have actually picked the right place. Of course, Benson's goal when he signed with the perennially contending Packers probably had more to do with finding a job and potentially performing in January (and February) than making fantasy owners pleased, but it's possible everyone can win here.
For more of Eric's thoughts on Cedric Benson and the Packers' running game, you must be an ESPN Insider!
