Fantasy impact: Even though Benjamin is suiting up, it doesn't look good for fantasy owners for Week 17. Underwhelming quarterback Austin Davis will be under center with Johnny Manziel ruled out due to a concussion. Even when Manziel was active, Benjamin had not been on his game the last four weeks. He put up a total of 87 yards receiving on nine receptions in that time span which also included a goose egg in Week 13 and not a single touchdown. Despite the rougher end, it's been a breakout season for Benjamin who needs 87 yards receiving to top 1,000 yards on the year. He's a WR4 this week but still offers decent upside as the team's No. 1 WR.
