Kelvin Benjamin is off of crutches, expected to be ready for 2016 fantasy season
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin has been off of crutches for two months already and should be healthy for 2016. We break down the fantasy implications.


Fantasy impact: It’s been so long since Benjamin went down with his injury that people almost forget what a crushing blow the news was to the club prior to the start of the season. Considering the circumstances it’s absolutely unbelievable what the Panthers have been able to accomplish being the only remaining team left without a loss going into Week 13.
Quarterback Cam Newton has really stepped up this season and lived up to his role as the team’s franchise player. If not for him, the loss of Benjamin would’ve been felt a lot more. Fortunately, the Panthers just keep on rolling and Benjamin is all smiles supporting the team from the sidelines.
They say winning solves everything and it seems that's the case in Carolina. Nobody is talking about the team's lack of receivers anymore, even though it's taken a while for draft pick Devin Funchess to come around. Fantasy owners in keeper leagues have to be happy to hear that the Panthers' No. 1 receiver is doing well on the road to recovery.
