START ‘EM

player. 87. . Wide Receiver. Panthers. Kelvin Benjamin. 2

Kelvin Benjamin saw a tough opponent last week in Darrius Slay and the Detroit Lions secondary, but he still put up points for his fantasy owners. Benjamin hauled in four receptions for 58 yards and found the end zone once.

If Benjamin played that well against a solid Lions secondary, he should be tearing it up against a fairly beat up Eagles secondary. Cam Newton has finally gotten it going this year and if he and Benjamin are on the same page, then watch out, Eagles.

Though five games, the Panthers number one wideout has totaled 17 receptions for 272 yards and a touchdown. Last week was his first touchdown of the season, but he should add to that in this big primetime match-up.

Make sure Kelvin Benjamin is one of your starting wide receivers this week.
