Carson. He has a better road to RB1 status. In other words, his competition for carries with Rawls and Lacy is preferable over Howard in Chicago. Also, he's got a better shot at being a starter as Cohen will likely be a COP back with Howard there.

Sell Carson if you can. I think Seattle is a place that will always be looking at adding RB bodies. It seem clear Eddie won't be back next year so in a stacked RB draft class we will see the RB landscape change dramatically, especially for more conventional between the tackle runners. Carson, with not a ton of draft pedigree, could be be at risk of having some competition brought in again. Cohen has a clearer path to a niche in that offense therefore seems safer beyond this season. I can't help but think how the RB landscape changed with the 2017 class and I think the same will happen in 2018. For some context, I flipped Carson and a 2018 2nd (prob late) for a 2019 1st from a pretty bad team this season.

Cohen is what Dion Lewis was before injury. In PPR, I am rolling with him.
Dynasty player since 2002.
I probably should have done something more productive with that time...

Cohen can be a poor mans Tyreek Hill or Duke Johnson for a couple of years. Carson is the flavor of the day and I would move him for anything I could right now.

I prefer Carson but admit that Cohen's dynasty floor is higher

I own both and am a Bears fan. Week 3 match-up and I am a heavy under dog, have Cohen in my line-up. OT, Cohen takes the hand off up the middle, all bottled up. Turns to the right side, makes a couple guys miss, breaks down the side line, cuts inside, one guy to beat, cuts again and the last defender is on his butt, TD! I jump up and cheer, accidentally waking up my wife who was taking a nap before her beloved Packers game starts. Granted the TD got called back, but the dude is off his rocker in space.

Cohen was selected in 4th round of the NFL draft, Carson in the 7th. Cohen will be a part of the Bears offense for at least the next several years, Carson is a complete 50/50 what happens to him next year; he could be the lead dog or cut. Currently Carson is sitting between Hyde and Gordon in fantasy points, while Carson is between L. Miller and Gore.

I like Carson and hope he does well as I own him and he is my Flex this week, but both long and short term I think Cohen is the way to go.

I ended up making the deal, got Cohen. In PPR, I think Cohen is much safer and Carson doesn't seem to be anything special, and their o-line is a mess. Plus Carroll never seems to commit to the run anyways..
