SANTA CLARA, CA – SEPTEMBER 10: Kelvin Benjamin #13 of the Carolina Panthers catches a pass over Rashard Robinson #33 of the San Francisco 49ers during the second quarter of their NFL football game at Levi’s Stadium on September 10, 2017 in Santa Clara, California.

Wide receiver

Start: Kelvin Benjamin (vs. New Orleans, 40.7%)

Benjamin is the number-one target for Cam Newton with Greg Olson out and is going up against one of the worst secondaries in football. Easily startable, maybe a top-ten performance.

Sit: No one

If you’ve got a receiver starting in more than 50% of leagues, feel free to start them in a week full of good passing game matchups.

Pickup: Mohammed Sanu (36.2%)

Devin Funchess and Cooper Kupp are also good pickups, but Sanu is the number-two receiver in one of the league’s best pass-heavy offenses. The Lions have had two good games in the secondary, but they haven’t faced the Falcons yet.

Drop: Brandon Marshall (98.5%)

Marshall isn’t getting many targets as the number-three receiver for Eli Manning and the Giants’ offense has been awful. Until the entire unit improves, there are too many other receivers, especially with Odell Beckham Jr. healthy, to keep Marshall on your roster.
