Fantasy Football: One Potential Cut Candidate for Every AFC Team
With the offseason soon to begin in earnest, here is one fantasy-relevant player on each AFC squad who may find themselves heading out the door.

Los Angeles Chargers - Travis Benjamin

Cap Savings: $4,500,000

Dead Money: $2,500,000

Travis Benjamin enjoyed a somewhat productive season with the Los Angeles Chargers despite not being the main guy in the passing game. He had 567 yards and 4 touchdowns from 34 receptions, and his Target NEP per Target of 0.30 was 42nd of 112 qualifying wide receivers.

While Benjamin offers a different skill-set to that of Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams and Mike Williams, $7,000,000 seems a hefty charge for a situational deep threat. Even accounting for his skills as a returner, Benjamin will likely have a hard time sticking on the roster at his current cap charge. He could, however, return to the team at a lower salary.
