Kelvin Benjamin's (knee) status a concern for Panthers

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera admitted he is a "little concerned" about wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin's (knee) Week 7 status.

What It Means:

Benjamin is dealing with a knee injury in the same (left) knee he tweaked earlier this season. The 2014 first-round pick hasn't practiced this week and it looks like he may be forced to sit against the Chicago Bears in Week 7.

If he plays, numberFire's models project Benjamin to score 11.3 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,800 in Week 7. He's pegged for 7.8 targets, 4.3 receptions, 66.4 yards, and 0.41 touchdowns versus the Bears, making him the WR17 in our weekly fantasy rankings.
