Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Carolina Panthers

FanDuel Price: $7,400

Kelvin Benjamin has been pretty brutal lately. Despite averaging 8.75 targets per game over the past four weeks, Benjamin has averaged just 4.5 catches and 67 yards per game. He hasn't exceeded 86 yards receiving in a single game, and he has scored only one touchdown the entire month of October. He's getting big opportunity but producing very little.

Benjamin has been quite average with his target production all season. His 22.13 Target NEP ranks 18th among the 42 receivers who have been targeted at least 50 times this season.

Up to this point, opposing wide receivers playing in Los Angeles have been held to 5.88 FanDuel points per game, and the Rams are a top-10 pass defense, per our metrics. Only Tyler Lockett (11.9) has scored more than 10 FanDuel points against the Rams in L.A. in 2016.

Benjamin is the 10th-highest priced receiver on FanDuel, and we have him projected for 12.5 points. There is better value to be found at receiver this weekend.
