Ulysses Bentley

Bentley is an interesting case in that he finished just outside the Top 10 among qualified (10 games) running backs in fantasy points per game, but much of his heavy lifting was done in the first three weeks of the season against bad or FCS teams. In his last seven, Bentley averaged just 4.0 YPC and had four touchdowns after producing seven scores in the first three games. Box score scouting can be done to nitpick anyone, but Bentley’s prolonged trend of mediocrity means that while he has some skill, the downside has to be acknowledged and accounted for by his drafters.
