The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Chicago Bears rookie RB Cedric Benson will play in the season opener Sunday against Washington. Thomas Jones has had a great preseason, but he will have to continue to compete for the starting job throughout the season now that Benson is signed.
Pencil in Thomas Jones as the Bears starting RB for week 1, but I wouldn't count on using him on your fantasy football team for any longer than that at this point. The Bears are not paying their new rookie $30 million to sit on the bench. I would expect to see Benson get more and more carries as the season progresses, and he will likely be the starter after a couple of games.
