Scouting report

CAR WR Kelvin Benjamin - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Seattle

Kelvin Benjamin only had two catches last week against the Raiders, but one of them was a 44-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. He ended up with only 53 yards on the day, but he continues to be the most targeted wide receiver for the Panthers and is on pace for over 1,000 yards this season.

This week, he has a tough matchup against a Seahawks defense that is tied for second in the league with only 10 touchdown passes allowed this season. He should still be in for plenty of targets, but expectations should be low in this matchup. We have him as a low-end WR2 option in most leagues.

CAR WR Kelvin Benjamin - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Oakland

Kelvin Benjamin had only three catches for 56 yards against the Saints last week, a disappointing total consider the matchup. Benjamin hasn’t done much the past few weeks and hasn’t scored a touchdown since October 2nd against the Falcons after scoring four times in the first four games. He’s still heavily targeted though, which should translate into fantasy production at some point.

This week, he has another good matchup against Oakland. The Raiders are fourth worst in the league in passing yards allowed per game and have given up 18 touchdown passes this season. Check Benjamin’s status before game time, as he’s listed questionable this week, but he should be a solid WR2 in most leagues against the Raiders, assuming he’s active.

CAR WR Kelvin Benjamin - Week 11, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. New Orleans

Kelvin Benjamin was targeted 12 times on Sunday against the Chiefs, catching seven passes for 84 yards. He’s been in a bit of a slump lately. While he’s had at least 70 yards in each of the past five games, he hasn’t scored in that time span and has failed to eclipse 100 yards. However, he’s still being targeted consistently and should benefit from some softer matchups on the horizon.

Starting with New Orleans this week, Benjamin should have an easier time scoring. Only the Browns and the 49ers have given up more points per game than the Saints this season and the Panthers should be in for a long day of throwing the ball to keep up with Drew Brees and the high-powered New Orleans offense. Benjamin should be a borderline WR1 this week.

CAR WR Kelvin Benjamin - Week 10, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Kansas City

Kelvin Benjamin had a modest 76 yards on five receptions last week against the Rams, but he was tied for the team high with seven targets on the game and he has at least seven targets in all but two games this year. He’s also second on the team to only Greg Olsen in red zone targets, converting 44.4% of the red zone passes thrown his way into touchdowns.

This week, Benjamin should find success against a below average Kansas City pass defense that has allowed 15 touchdown passes this season. Expect another full day of work for the giant Florida State product and borderline WR1 fantasy numbers as a result. He should be active in all leagues.

CAR WR Kelvin Benjamin - Week 9, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Los Angeles

Kelvin Benjamin only had two catches last week against the Cardinals, but luckily he had a 50-yard reception and still ended up with 73 yards on the day. Benjamin was targeted five times, but the team got ahead early and only ended up throwing the ball 27 times all game.

Benjamin should be in for a good game this week. The Rams don’t have as good of a secondary as the Cardinals do, and have allowed 11 passing touchdowns to opposing teams this season. While it’s possible that the Panthers build a sizable lead early again, Benjamin is a great option and a borderline WR1 in most leagues. He should be active this week.

CAR WR Kelvin Benjamin - Week 8, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Arizona
Kelvin Benjamin had eight catches for 86 yards against the Saints two weeks ago before the bye. He was also targeted a team-high 14 times, and he has at least seven targets in all but one game this season. While he hasn’t scored a touchdown in the last two games, he has four on the season and should be heavily targeted again this week.

Benjamin should get the ball, but while he’s normally a borderline WR1, I’d call him a mid-WR2 this week against a tough Cardinals secondary. Arizona is third in the league allowing only 193 passing yards per game to opposing teams and they’ve only given up five touchdown passes all season. Temper your expectations, but he should still be in your lineup as a WR2.

CAR WR Kelvin Benjamin - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at New Orleans
Kelvin Benjamin had five catches for 70 yards last week against the Bucs. He was also targeted nine times, turning in a pretty decent performance considering the Panthers were playing with their backup QB. Benjamin remains the primary outside receiving target in Carolina, and with Cam Newton likely back this week, his value should continue to be as a borderline WR1 moving forward.

KB has extra value this week going up against a woeful Saints defense that has allowed 301 yards passing per game to opposing offense this year. Even if Anderson were to start again, the matchup makes Benjamin a top fantasy option and he should be started in all formats.
