The San Diego Chargers are listing Travis Benjamin as questionable against the Houston Texans in Week 12.
Benjamin is dealing with a knee injury that flared up in Week 9. That led to him missing Week 10 before the Chargers held their Week 11 bye. That appears to be enough rest for Benjamin, who practiced fully all three days this week.
In nine games this season, Benjamin has hauled in 39 passes for 514 yards and three scores. However, he had just 11 grabs for 120 yards and one score in his last four games before missing Week 11.
Fantasy Impact: If Benjamin is active, Yahoo! ranks him as the 52nd-best wide receiver in Week 12. He would face a Texans defense allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to receivers this season.
Even if he is active, keep Benjamin on the bench this week. He has been far too inconsistent to start coming off a prolonged absence.
