CLE WR Travis Benjamin - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Kansas City

Predictably, Travis Benjamin was unable to get much going in Week 15 against Seattle’s Legion of Boom secondary. Benjamin caught three passes for 26 yards and added nine yards on a running play. In defense of Travis, he has been forced to masquerade as a number one receiver thanks to the prolonged incompetency of Cleveland general manager Ray Farmer.

And Benjamin has delivered some big games under the circumstances this year. If you look at the numbers, you would think Kansas City could be had through the air. The Chiefs have given up 24 touchdowns and surrender 243.2 yards per game. However, their secondary started slow and has come alive during an eight-game winning streak. Twice, they held San Diego’s Philip Rivers without a touchdown pass. Rivers has lost a lot of talent at receiver due to injury, but he is still one of the NFL’s upper echelon quarterbacks. While Benjamin is always a candidate to break through with a big play, fantasy owners needing safe points in the Super Bowl should opt for a steadier player.

CLE WR Travis Benjamin - Week 15, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Seattle
Travis Benjamin was quiet in Week 14 despite a favorable matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Benjamin caught four passes for 41 yards as Cleveland ran the ball better than they had all year.

And quiet will remain the password for Benjamin in Week 15. As Cleveland’s number one wide receiver, he will likely see a lot of superstar cornerback Richard Sherman. Travis has generated a much better season than anyone thought possible, but he is not going to burn Sherman and the rest of the Legion of Boom very often, especially with Seattle at home in the midst of a hot streak. This would be a week to sit Travis for a safer player.

CLE WR Travis Benjamin - Week 14, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs San Francisco

A shoulder injury knocked Travis Benjamin out of action in Week 13. Before being injured, Benjamin failed to catch a pass.

Travis looks likely to return this week against a San Francisco defense that has given up 17 touchdown passes, tied for ninth fewest in the league. However, the 49ers give up 270 yards per game, meaning Benjamin ought to be productive if he gets his usual volume. Johnny Manziel and Benjamin displayed chemistry earlier in the season, especially back in Week 2 when the duo combined for two touchdowns in a victory over the Tennessee Titans. You can start Benjamin as your WR3.

CLE WR Travis Benjamin - Week 13, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Cincinnati

The Browns lost on Monday in excruciating fashion, but it was not because of Travis Benjamin. Targeted 13 times, more than anyone else on the Cleveland roster, Travis caught six passes for 90 yards and his first touchdown since Week 3.

Perhaps most importantly, the touchdown pass was thrown by Austin Davis, who steps in as Cleveland’s starter this week with Josh McCown out for the season. It could be a sign that Davis and Benjamin will have good chemistry, or it could mean nothing, especially since Davis is still a bit of a mystery despite starting some last year for St. Louis. Benjamin struggled against Cincinnati when the two teams met back in Week 9, catching just three passes for 22 yards. With the Bengals having a decent but not spectacular pass defense and the Browns likely to be playing from behind, Benjamin can stay in lineups as a WR3.

CLE WR Travis Benjamin - Week 12, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Baltimore

After scoring four touchdowns in the first three weeks of the season, Travis Benjamin has not scored since. Benjamin had maintained value by posting good reception and yardage totals, but fell into a three-game slump starting in Week 7 that threatened to send him back to fantasy obscurity. He righted the ship in Week 10 by catching seven passes for 113 yards.

Owners who remained patient with Benjamin could look quite savvy by the time this week is over. Baltimore’s ineffective pass defense has given up 19 touchdown passes and yields 257 yards per game. Travis is a WR3 with the upside for bigger and better things.

CLE WR Travis Benjamin - Week 10, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Pittsburgh
After sizzling during the first six weeks of the season, Travis Benjamin has been ice cold. In his last three games, Benjamin has 10 catches for 95 yards. That includes last Thursday’s downer against Cincinnati, where Travis was only able to muster three receptions for 22 yards.

Fantasy owners who have continued to give Benjamin the benefit of the doubt can hang their hat on a highly favorable matchup. Pittsburgh just gave up three touchdown passes to Oakland’s Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper. Plus, the Steelers have allowed 16 touchdown passes in nine games and yield 273 yards per game. Benjamin is essentially a boom-or-bust player at this point, but depending on the situation, he still has value as a WR3.

CLE WR Travis Benjamin - Week 9, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Cincinnati

Week 8 was not kind to Travis Benjamin’s fantasy owners, as Benjamin struggled to get going against Arizona’s defense, catching three passes for 26 yards. Over the past two games, Benjamin has been held to seven receptions for 73 yards and zero touchdowns.

Benjamin would potentially be the biggest beneficiary of Johnny Manziel’s return to the lineup. During the first two games of the season when Manziel saw considerable playing time, Benjamin caught three touchdown passes. With both Brian Hartline and Andrew Hawkins in line to miss Thursday’s game in Cincinnati, Benjamin’s outlook gets even brighter. Owners should overlook his recent struggles and keep him in the lineup as a WR3.
