Through three games played, Massaquoi has nine receptions for 145 yards. Benjamin has 10 receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown through four games.
Fantasy Impact: There is no word yet on the status of either player for Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. Benjamin was able to practice on a limited basis late last week, and seems slightly more likely to play. If both are able to return, it will be interesting to see how they are targeted by Brandon Weeden.
The two wideouts were No. 2 and No. 3 on the depth chart behind Greg Little when healthy. Josh Gordon has been absolutely lethal as a deep threat in recent weeks, however, and may have officially jumped Massaquoi and Benjamin on the pecking order for targets. Don't be in any hurry to put either receiver back in your starting fantasy lineup.
