Panthers Beat: Kelvin Benjamin the early MVP of camp

Whether it was intentional or not, head coach Ron Rivera sent a message to Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin in June when he publicly said the wide receiver being overweight might have contributed to him missing most of OTAs with hamstring injuries.

Benjamin reported in the best shape of his college or professional career. He looks more like a wide receiver than a tight end, as he sometimes did last year. He appears poised for a big second season. As fellow wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said, Benjamin is “the lead dog.’’

Fantasy Impact: 

Benjamin had a nice rookie season and could be poised for a better sophomore season with another year in the system. He cracks our top-20, coming in at 17 putting him in WR2 range.

Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin had a bit of scrutiny surrounding him this offseason when HC Ron Rivera suggested that he may have been a bit overweight at OTAs.

It all really began when Benjamin dealt with a hamstring injury. Fortunately for Panthers fans and the team, the second-year wide receiver looks poised and ready to make some noise in 2015, according to David Newton of ESPN.

“I'm looking to go full when we go into camp," Benjamin told ESPN. “I’m feeling good. I’m looking forward to it. I’m excited."

When speaking about his weight, he also explained that it's just fine.

“I’m not on the scale," he said. “But I’m playing weight."

Fantasy Impact: 

We noted Benjamin got off to a strong start last year before finishing as the #42 WR following last year's Week 12 bye. The calling out of the weight issue may be in part to avoid a similar fall off this season. But it seems like he's got things under control heading into camp. We rank Benjamin 17th on our WR list making him a solid WR2 option.

Rivera: Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (hamstring) should be a full-go for camp

Kelvin Benjamin caused much consternation among Carolina Panthers fans this offseason after being limited by two separate hamstring injuries.

Coach Ron Rivera said Thursday at a charity golf event that he's heard good reports on Benjamin's health and fitness and expects the receiver to be full-go when training camp opens on July 30, per The Associated Press.

Fantasy Impact: 

Benjamin had a strong rookie season, finishing as the #15 WR in PPR formats and #16 in standard leagues. However, after his team’s Week 12 bye, Benjamin was just the #42 WR the rest of the way. Benjamin admitted to suffering from mental fatigue as a rookie, which is understandable given how much he was asked to do in his first year.

Panthers Beat: Cam Newton can have MVP season

Panthers beat writer David Newton thinks QB Cam Newton is capable of an MVP season.

David Newton: It's not so much whether Newton is capable. He didn't win the Heisman Trophy at Auburn or win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year at Carolina for a lack of talent. The question is this: Does Newton have the talent around him to become an MVP? Aaron Rodgers didn't win the award last season without having a solid offensive line, top receivers and a running game that takes the pressure off him. Newton needs the same.

Fantasy Impact: 

The good news, the story points out, is Cam Newton seems to have a talent pool around him now. Wide receivers Kelvin Benjamin, Devin Funchess, Corey Brown and Ted Ginn Jr., along with tight end Greg Olsen, give him plenty of capable targets. Jonathan Stewart showed again at the end of last season that, when healthy, he's a top five back. Now, the offensive line is going to be the key. Newton will also have to become a more consistent passer. While the odds may be against him for MVP, he's capable of a solid fantasy season. Newton cracks our top-10 QBs heading into camps, coming in eighth with an ADP of about the seventh round. He's another of the long list of fantasy QBs who will be around during that stage of your draft if you're set on waiting on the position.
