BUF WR Kelvin Benjamin - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Kelvin Benjamin put up some pretty good numbers his first two years in the NFL—1,949 receiving yards. So, many believe he is capable of being an elite receiver in the NFL. There is little doubt he will be the No. 1 target in the Buffalo passing game. He also is in a contract year which usually motivates players for the next paycheck.

Fantasy Downside

Benjamin fell out of favor in Carolina and was traded to the Bills midseason. That's not usually a good sign. Once with the Bills, Benjamin put up modest numbers. In six games with Buffalo, Benjamin caught 16 of his 27 targets for 217 yards and just one touchdown. He also had some minor knee surgery in January but is expected to be 100 percent for Week 1. Another issue is at quarterback for the Bills which could limit Benjamin's numbers.

2018 Bottom Line

At this point, Benjamin is not even considered a fantasy starter and is probably nothing more than a depth option at this point. His ADP is 118 which puts him as an 11th-round pick. If you draft him, don't expect much, although he could surprise some people if the quarterback situation is stable.

BUF WR Kelvin Benjamin - Week 18 Fantasy Football Outlook

Wild Card Round at Jacksonville Jaguars

Kelvin Benjamin finished the season on a low note after showing he might be starting to come around in the Bills offense. He finished with only 2 catches for 27 yards. He still isn't 100% healthy and now he will face the Jaguars, who are ranked fourth in aFPA to wide receivers.

A tough matchup on the road is not good for Benjamin's ranking. He probably will have some value because he is the best receiver on Buffalo's roster, but we only have him ranked as a WR2 or in the third tier of fantasy wide receivers for Wild Card weekend.

BUF WR Kelvin Benjamin - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Miami Dolphins

Kelvin Benjamin had his best game as a member of the Bills last week, catching 5 receptions for 70 yards. The knee injury that has hampered him is still an issue, but he did practice this week and is expected to play.

Benjamin will square off against a Miami defense who held him to 2 receptions two weeks ago. The Dolphins are 12th in aFPA to wide receivers. Although Benjamin has shown us some glimpses of what is he capable of, we don't like the matchup or his health status. Keep him on the bench for Week 17.

BUF WR Kelvin Benjamin - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at New England Patriots

Since joining the Bills, Benjamin has only played in four games—recording 9 receptions. Health has been the major issue for him and he still has been limited in practice this week.

Even if he plays for the third straight game, he still hasn't shown to be a major offensive factor. He did not play in the first meeting with the Patriots, who are ranked 17th in aFPA to wide receivers. Benjamin is a non-fantasy factor for Week 16, so keep him on the bench.

BUF WR Kelvin Benjamin - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Kelvin Benjamin has not played since November 19th, but he did participate fully in practice on Thursday so he will be back in the lineup on Sunday. There is little doubt he is the best wide receiver option on this team, but there are other issues at quarterback.

Backup Nathan Peterman is expected to start for an injured Tyrod Taylor and that does not fare well for the Bills passing game. Keep Benjamin on the bench as a non-factor against the Colts.

BUF WR Kelvin Benjamin - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Los Angeles Chargers

The new wide receiver will get a new quarterback. Kelvin Benjamin saw his first action as a Bill last week and was targeted 6 times, which produced 3 receptions for 42 yards. Now, he will have rookie QB Nathan Peterman throwing to him. There is no doubt Buffalo wants Benjamin to be involved in the offense, but with all the new pieces to the puzzle, it might take some time.

The Bills face the Los Angeles Chargers, who are ranked 18th in aFPA to wide receivers. Benjamin will have a breakthrough game one of these weeks, but it's a question of when. Start Benjamin this week as a low-end WR3 or flex and hope that it all clicks for the Bills' passing game.

BUF WR Kelvin Benjamin - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. New Orleans Saints

Kelvin Benjamin will see his first action in a Bills uniform after sitting out last Thursday against the Jets. He will make an impact on the Buffalo offense, but how long will it take for him to get acclimated to his new surroundings?

The Saints are 10th in aFPA to wide receivers so the matchup isn't the best. Right now, there are too many question marks with how quickly Benjamin will be a factor. For Week 10, keep him on the bench.
