Kelvin Benjamin Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Additionally, Offensive Coordinator Eric Bienemy shared that it would be "all hands on deck" for TNF. Benjamin should see some snaps in 3-WR sets against the Chargers on Thursday night, but it remains to be seen who will see the most of the WR2 duties behind Tyreek Hill with Chris Conley and Demarcus Robinson having moved up in the pecking order due to Sammy Watkins' absence.

With Sammy Watkins also now expected to miss 4-6 weeks, Chris Conley should again see a meaningful role again on Sunday as the Chiefs' WR2. Conley has 3 touchdowns over the past three weeks, though he faces a challenging matchup on Sunday against a Ravens secondary ranked in the top 5 in pass defense DVOA.

The Chiefs WR2 appears to have suffered a setback with his foot injury at Thursday's practice and Sam Mellinger of the Kansas City Star reports Watkins will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks, effectively ending his regular season. This news further explains yesterday's signing of Kelvin Benjamin who should now compete for WR2 snaps with Chris Conley moving forward. Conley should remain the better option of the two on Sunday as Benjamin gets up to speed with the playbook, however both receivers will still carry low floors week-to-week in a passing game focused on Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce.

Kelvin Benjamin put together a 4/59/1 stat line in Thursday’s preseason opener for the Buffalo Bills. It was encouraging to see Benjamin making plays in the opening minutes of that game. Nathan Peterman may end up being the starting quarterback on this team week one and Benjamin caught a 28 yard strike from him to kick off the scoring in this game. Corey Coleman is a speed guy who has had issues with drops early in his brief career, so Benjamin’s size and skill set may prove to be more beneficial to these quarterbacks than Coleman. Any WR1 on an NFL team deserves our attention in DFS.

As expected the Bills will have both Clay and Benjamin for Sunday's game vs the Jaguars. Benjamin is fighting through a meniscus injury and has clearly played less than full strength the last few games. Clay is no stranger to missing practice time as his knee has been bothering him for the last few weeks. From a matchup standpoint, Clay is the better play this week as he gets to face a Jaguars defense that ranks 20th in pass DVOA against the tight end. If LeSean McCoy were to sit this week, the target ceiling could raise for a player like Clay who should be a safety blanket for Tyrod Taylor.

The practice status of both Benjamin and Clay has remained the same this week as both have practiced in a limited fashion all week, and both are still expected to play this weekend.
