Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin is proving to be a smart investment for the team. The first-round pick had his third touchdown in four games Sunday in Carolina's 38-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Kelvin Benjamin continues hot start to fantasy season
The Panthers’ rookie wide receiver has touchdowns in three of his first four career games. We break down the fantasy implications.

Benjamin caught five passes for 76 yards in the game, scoring on a 28-yard pass in the second quarter that at the time tied the game. Wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery, who missed the team's Week 3 game with an injury, also caught five passes, going for 80 yards.
Fantasy impact: At this point, if Benjamin isn’t a must-start in fantasy, he’s really close. He’s averaging more than 12 fantasy points a game, with at least 13 points in three of four outings. There’s not much reason to think he can’t continue this to some extent.
Cotchery, now that he’s apparently healthy, is moderately interesting as a last-guy-on-the-roster type, but until he shows a bit more consistent production, he’s not someone worth starting unless things get desperate.
