BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ team leagues
OWNED IN: 12% of fleaflicker leagues
ANALYSIS: Regardless of whether Johnny Manziel or Josh McCown is starting for the Browns, Travis Benjamin is a great choice for PPR and standard leagues. Due to Johnny Manziel's preference for long passes and Benjamin's deep ball capabilities, Travis Benjamin accumulated 204 yards and three TDs on just six receptions in games played by Manziel. When McCown started in Week 3, Benjamin still accumulated four receptions for 45 yards and a TD despite not gathering as many deep looks.
Regardless of who starts, it is apparent that Benjamin is the most trusted receiver by far in Cleveland, and you simply can't ignore his early-season success. In addition to being a a deep threat, Benjamin is also an electrifying punt-returner, which he proved by returning a punt for a TD in Week 2. With this added value Travis Benjamin is a must-add receiver who, depending on starting quarterback and league format, is ideal as a plug-and-play option or possibly as trade bait.
