I don't trust Benson's durability or staying power. Grant has a kind of Thomas Jones appeal to me lately...

Grant. More steady than Benson. As much as people want to keep burying Grant, he keeps plugging along.

I like Grant by a wide margin. As quickly as Benson made a name for himself this season after being a total bum for his first few years in the league, he could just as quickly regress next season and be fantasy irrelevant forever. Grant is finishing up a great season (one that I expected from him last year) in which he has remained healthy. I believe he has the better chance at repeating what he has done this year.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

Grant as he has shown improvement each year and he is also used in the passing game more than Benson. Grant has more targets in the pass game and a better reception to target percentage.

Thanks for the advice guys although it's probably a dead issue for me now. I ended up acquiring Turner instead for a little less than the "stingy" Grant/Benson owner wanted for one of them... :evil:

You know who you are...just messin'... :lol:

8 more catches??

Grant: 25 catches - 30 targets = 83%
Benson: 17 catches - 24 targets = 75%


that difference is not significant enough to really use as a determining factor....you can have your preference here but the truth is, its a push....

I agree it was a push. I was slightly leaning Grant though.
