Benjamin even got in a practice session on Friday and has been cleared for contact. That practice sessions suggest he should be a big part of the offense as a 1A option next to tight end Greg Olsen.
The Packers have actually been awesome against the pass, ranking fifth in the league. Plus, they have been the ninth-toughest matchup for fantasy receivers. However, they will likely have to key in on quarterback Cam Newton and limit his rushing yards.
Benjamin does have four touchdowns and he’s been targeted at least eight times in each game this season. He should get plenty of chances to make big plays in what could be a high-scoring game.
Fantasy impact: His size is going to carry him and he’s a WR2 this week. He should be in most lineups as a WR15-20.
