Anything to see here for redraft or move along?Signed a 1-year deal with the Chiefs.
Guy in my league picked him up right away but I’m not jealous at all.Anything to see here for redraft or move along?
At best he’s behind Kelce and Hill for targets. At worst, he’s behind Kelce, Hill, Watson, Ware, and maybe West - since he doesn’t know the offense.Anything to see here for redraft or move along?
These were my thoughts as well. Targets behind Kelce and Hill isn't a terrible ceiling. Maybe if you have the luxury of waiting until week 16 to see if assimilates into the offense he could be worth the dart, especially if you have any concerns over players getting rested in week 16.At best he’s behind Kelce and Hill for targets.

Agreed. My biggest issue is he only got a 1 year deal. So he’s a Chief for the rest of this year... just about the time he starts to pick up the offense. There’s no guarantee he’ll re-signs for next year or that KC will even want him.These were my thoughts as well. Targets behind Kelce and Hill isn't a terrible ceiling.

I'd encourage my playoff opponents to pick him up and start him.What are we doing with this guy? Pick him up to block playoff opponents? Stash and maybe start week 16?
The big dilemma, I lost Sanders and picked up Tre'quan Smith who certainly can't be trusted but I am wondering if Benjamin is any more trustworthy in weeks 15 and 16."SOURCE: Sammy Watkins reinjured his foot in practice yesterday and had an MRI. Could be significant.

"Sammy Watkins to miss 4-6 weeks with foot injury"
Conley or KB for FF playoffs? KB most likely won't be active this week so Conley can be used. But what about weeks 15 and 16?
TD prowess, HUGE body. Dude is like 8'7", 320. TD machineIn the next week or so, why wouldn't the pickup be Conley vs. this bum?
He also needs to learn the playbook.TD prowess, HUGE body. Dude is like 8'7", 320. TD machine
Good point. He does have 20 TDs in four full seasons. That's 5 a year!!!!TD prowess, HUGE body. Dude is like 8'7", 320. TD machine
Well luckily he's a hard worker and really smart.He also needs to learn the playbook.
I finally did it a few weeks ago. It has changed my life. I feel like a new man with a giant weight lifted off my shoulders.I still have this guy on one dynasty team - and I've wanted to cut him so many times and just couldn't do it. I'm stacked in that league so I would never need to do it, but there is zero % chance I would start him in a playoff game.
Benjamin and trustworthy are two words that do not belong together.The big dilemma, I lost Sanders and picked up Tre'quan Smith who certainly can't be trusted but I am wondering if Benjamin is any more trustworthy in weeks 15 and 16.

@medalofhonor - I'd rather pick up Antonio Callaway than Kelvin Benjamin at this point..
@getpoopedonsir - Reportedly when told Patrick Mahomes would be feeding Benjamin, Benjamin asked specifically what type of food and how often..
@itsashleybro - He thought it said Chefs.
@nonexistant - Till the video comes out of him assaulting a donut.
###tevens117 - He signed with KC because he thought his agent said KFC..
@bingbing - Andy Reid wants a challenge at the team buffet..
@Mazzie1090 - They must see something we don’t..
@ReturnTheSlab - As a lineman.
Happy if I am facing either, thrilled to be facing both. No interest at all in starting them, unless it’s a huge league (16+ teams)."SOURCE: Sammy Watkins reinjured his foot in practice yesterday and had an MRI. Could be significant.

I should add the beat writer also said it's unlikely Kelvin Benjamin could eat just one ham.The Kansas City Star's Lynn Worthy says its "unlikely" that Kelvin Benjamin will play an extended amount in the Week 15 game against the Chargers.
Benjamin has only been in the building for one week and the Chiefs haven't guaranteed that Benjamin will be active on Thursday. If he does suit up, beat reporters don't expect Benjamin to be used as a starting receiver despite Sammy Watkins (foot) being week to week. Even with Patrick Mahomes leading one of the best offenses in the league, Benjamin will be no more than a low-floor WR5 if he ends up being active in Week 15
Free agent WR Kelvin Benjamin will work out for the Giants on Saturday.
He's among several wideouts the Giants are working out Saturday. Already down Sterling Shepard, who broke his thumb during Thursday's practice session, the G-Men were dealt another blow Friday when Corey Coleman went down with a torn ACL. A 2014 first-rounder, Benjamin has heard crickets this offseason following an underwhelming 2018 season that included just 25 catches for 380 yards and one touchdown over 15 games for Buffalo and Kansas City. If he lands with New York, it would be his fourth team in three seasons.

I thought it was more the injuries and work ethic That ruined him.I'm seeing this guy's name being dropped. Cam Newton ruined this poor guy. Maybe he will sign after game 1.
The only good season he ever had was with Cam Newton.I'm seeing this guy's name being dropped. Cam Newton ruined this poor guy. Maybe he will sign after game 1.
how so?I'm seeing this guy's name being dropped. Cam Newton ruined this poor guy. Maybe he will sign after game 1.
I was being sarcastic in reference to him wishing he wasn't drafted by Carolina.how so?
YES!!! THE PROPHECY HAS FINALLY BEEN FULFILLED!!!Free agent Kelvin Benjamin was listed as a tight end for his tryout with the Giants.
Benjamin, who hasn't appeared in a regular season game since 2018, reported to New York's minicamp listed at 6'5/245 as a tight end. Originally drafted by GM Dave Gettleman in Carolina, 30-year-old Benjamin is being treated as the one that got away. We'll follow this ongoing situation so you don't have to.

Giants signed TE Kelvin Benjamin.
Out of the league since 2018, Benjamin worked mostly at tight end during his minicamp tryout. It's a low risk flyer for the Giants, who have Evan Engram and Kyle Rudolph locked in two TE sets. A first-round pick by GM Dave Gettleman with the Panthers in 2014, Benjamin faded into a sub-package role with Kansas City before falling out of the league. The Giants are hoping Benjamin can give them a pass-catching backup for Engram, who's missed 14 games over the last four seasons.
