Travis Benjamin showcases versatility

Sep 21, 2015

Entering the season, the Browns were looking for someone to step up and become an offensive playmaker. Travis Benjamin has been that guy.

The speedy wide receiver racked up 269 total yards and three touchdowns — two receptions and a punt return — to help propel Cleveland past Tennessee 28-14 at FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday.

Benjamin caught three passes for 115 yards — a career high — to lead all receivers. He returned six punts for 154 yards, which is the third-highest total in Browns history behind Eric Metcalf (166) and his own record of 179 set Oct. 3, 2013. He also became the first NFL player with four 50-plus-yard touchdowns in the first two games of the season since Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Brown in 1963.

Fantasy Impact:

Benjamin is the first Browns player to record two receiving scores and a punt return touchdown in the same game and the first NFL player to do so since St. Louis’ Tavon Austin on Nov. 10, 2013. Benjamin came 47 yards shy of Josh Cribbs’ all-purpose yards record of 316 set Dec. 20, 2009. The Browns offense isn't a model of consistency so Benjamin will have his risks, but he started showing these flashes last year so he might be worth grabbing if still on your wire.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
