Yahoo! Sports' Michael Silver reports Cedric Benson will be suspended three games for violating the personal conduct policy during the lockout.
Benson has already spent time in Commissioner Goodell's office for previous infractions, so he's being treated as a repeat offender. He's expected to play this week against the 49ers before his appeal is heard next Tuesday. Should the appeal fail, Benson would then miss a trio of attractive matchups against the Bills, Jaguars, and Colts. Bernard Scott and Brian Leonard will likely split the workload in place of Benson. A legit playmaker, Scott is the preferred waiver pickup.

----

Scott could be an interesting pickup this week if you need something for one of the early bye weeks or if you have an injury situation. Colts matchup may be worth the pickup alone.

Picked him up. In a 12 team league and backs are few and far between. I don't see myself ever playing him (maybe week 5 when I have a bunch if guys on byes) but I am going go be THAT GUY and make sure no one else can have him.

just grabbed him, he's got some easy games ahead, especially if Benson is out for the Colts game

I wouldn't do that. But I do like Scott a lot.

I don't think i would drop Jacobs for him. Scott is fun for a few weeks if the suspension goes through but after that he is off the radar again.

people thinking bernard scott is going to come in for 3 games and set the world on fire are delusional. i would only add if i am desperate for a one game plug and play for a bye week. I would drop nothing of any substance for him.

He's a solid back.

I dropped DeMarco Murray for him.

Snagged him in both leagues just now. Dropped nothing of significance.

He has 140 carries. How much do you know about him? The next James Starks I presume?

The fantasy board would think this team is championship material

QB- Cam Newton
RB- Scott
RB- Tate
WR- McCluster
WR- Decker
Flex- Nelson
TE- Fred Davis
K- Akers
D- SF

I bet you were making fun of everyone last year who drafted Arian Foster too, right?
