He's had some issues on the field with a couple pathetic drops. Benjamin posted a disappointing stat line in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions with two catches for 46 yards in quarterback Cam Newton's season debut. Benjamin looked great in Week 1 with Derek Anderson as his starting quarterback, so the Week 2 letdown was a surprise.
Fantasy impact: There’s no need to worry about his knee injury and the Panthers are probably just being cautious because he had a knee injury back in July. The Steelers pass defense isn’t what it used to be, so Benjamin has an excellent chance to bounce back. Fantasy owners can view him as a high-end WR3 as he and Cam look to get on the same page.
