That’s the big question mark. The good news is he practiced in full on Thursday so it appears he’s not inclined to hold back in Foxborough.
Fantasy impact: Through three games so far, fantasy owners have to be disappointed. Benjamin doesn’t have a touchdown this season and has just nine catches for 110 yards on the year.
Owners would hope for those kind of numbers in one game from a top receiver. There is a silver lining in the cloud this week, however. The Patriots have given up the most receiving yards in the league this season. They’re not afraid to get into a shootout.
That’s why it’s time to roll the dice again on Benjamin. The matchup presents tons of opportunity, and Benjamin is too good to be held down forever. Start him in New England.
Recommendation: Start
