Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 6: Travis Benjamin a risky play vs. Broncos
Can Travis Benjamin keep producing against an elite Broncos secondary?
Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports
Travis Benjamin has been a pleasant surprise for the San Diego Chargers and fantasy owners as well.
The fifth-year wide receiver has stepped up and taken on a big role in this offense after injuries knocked out Danny Woodhead and Keenan Allen for the season, while Antonio Gates missed two games due to a hamstring injury.
That led to Benjamin catching 28 passes for 394 yards and two scores. He has scored the 15th-most fantasy points of any receiver this season, but do not expect him to keep putting up big numbers when he faces the Denver Broncos.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Benjamin as the 34th-best receiver in Week 6. He faces a Broncos defense allowing the fewest fantasy points to receivers this season. As good as Benjamin has been, he is facing a brutal matchup with star cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Chris Harris.
Treat Benjamin like a WR3 this week, which means he will be right on the edge of starting or sitting him for your team. Lean toward sitting him.
