Might be just kool-aid, but a few thoughts....
The obvious - inaccurate QBs, he's not a #1 receiver (but was asked to be), he can be a matchup role player in KC.
The less obvious (maybe kool-aid) - he gets a shitload of targets even though he's not a good separation receiver. That tells me that Cam/Allen used him a ton as a bailout and just chucked it up to him because they saw nothing else. He's not good enough to be a volume receiver. Lowering the volume might help a ton with catch %. If a lower % of his throws are lower % catch opportunities, his catch % should improve.
Just squeak through this last month with HFA, get Watkins back for the playoffs, and Benjamin might be integrated into the offense enough by then to give us 4 legit receiving threats on any given play. It’s too much to handle in combination with Mahomes IMO if they can stay upright. [Reply]

Pretty sure anything he makes comes off what Buffalo is paying him so nobody was going to give him much and it doesn't matter what we pay him, he makes the same. [Reply]

The next 3 games are gonna be tough. Sucks we lost Hunt and Sammy, but hopefully Berry brings a spark to the defense and Benjamin kicks ass. [Reply]

Seattle worries me for sure but you get Baltimore at home and then LA on a short week at home. Then extra days to prep for Seattle. So the schedule favors us.
I think we win at least 3. Now whether or not NE loses is another story... [Reply]
