Travis Benjamin News
The San Francisco 49ers released wide receiver Travis Benjamin (concussion) on Tuesday. He sustained a concussion in the preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. The 31-year-old opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 and will now look to latch onto another team in 2021. San Francisco will roll with Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Mohamed Sanu Sr., Trent Sherfield, Jalen Hurd, and Jauan Jennings as the team's wide receivers. Benjamin should be able to land elsewhere for an NFL team in search of a wide receiver depth.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Travis Benjamin caught both of his targets for 24 yards, including a 16-yard touchdown reception from rookie quarterback Trey Lance to put the 49ers up 15-10 in the third quarter during Sunday's preseason Week 2 win. Benjamin opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 but looked good running routes on Sunday, displaying sure hands on an aggressive throw from Lance that split three defenders on a slant route near the goal-line. The veteran wideout doesn't possess much fantasy value in 2021 but will likely make the 53-man roster after an impressive performance against the Chargers on Sunday. Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel are the notable 49ers wideouts to target in fantasy drafts, as the team tends to lean on its running-back-by-committee approach to control possession and secure wins.
The San Francisco 49ers are signing former Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, according to a source. The 49ers already had depth concerns at the position before Emmanuel Sanders left in free agency late last week, so Benjamin will help in that regard behind Deebo Samuel. San Francisco will surely address the position in the draft in what is a deep crop of wide receivers. But they also have Jalen Hurd, Kendrick Bourne, Marquise Goodwin, Dante Pettis and Trent Taylor. The Niners are hoping a couple of those guys, along with Benjamin, can step up in 2020. Benjamin is mostly an inconsistent deep threat for fantasy owners in deeper leagues, and there's no guaranteeing he sees much playing time in his new home. He had eight starts with the Chargers the last three years and played in just five games in 2019 due to injury.
