Brandon Weeden says second-year WR Travis Benjamin has "stuck out" in spring practices and praised Benjamin's route-running ability.
Because Greg Little, Davone Bess, and David Nelson are all strict possession receivers, it's conceivable that burner Benjamin will be the primary beneficiary of Josh Gordon's suspension. "Travis had at least as many catches if not more than anybody in camp," Weeden said. "His route running is phenomenal, probably because he’s so fast. Guys have to honor him running by them."

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

The new Browns regime believes second-year WR Travis Benjamin is capable of becoming an "outstanding" punt returner.

This probably explains Cleveland's complete unwillingness to try to re-sign Josh Cribbs. Benjamin, the 100th pick in last year's draft, possesses 4.36 wheels and broke off a 93-yard punt return touchdown as a rookie despite seeing only three punt return chances all season. In addition to situational deep threat duties on offense, Benjamin will replace Cribbs as the Browns' return specialist.

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

Travis Benjamin caught four of six passes for 43 yards at Pittsburgh in Week 17.

The fourth-round rookie saw an increase in targets with Josh Gordon sidelined for the second half. He finishes his first season with 18 receptions for 298 yards (16.6 per) and six rushes for 66 yards. Although Benjamin flashed big-play ability, his slight build will likely limit him to deep routes, trick plays, and the return game next season.

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

Travis Benjamin caught one pass for a 69-yard touchdown in the Browns' Week 15 loss to the Redskins.

Benjamin found himself singled up out wide against Redskins backup CB Dominique Johnson in the fourth quarter of a blowout. For some reason, Johnson sat on the route and Benjamin just blew past him for his second career touchdown. It was Benjamin's second catch since Week 9.

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

Browns rookie WR Travis Benjamin returned to the lineup from a hamstring injury in Week 7 and caught three passes for 33 yards.

He was targeted five times. Benjamin was the No. 4 receiver behind Greg Little, Josh Gordon, and Josh Cooper, but the Browns under Pat Shurmur have always believed in receiver rotations and Benjamin received a healthy dose of snaps. Benjamin isn't a re-draft league fantasy option, but he's someone to keep in mind long term. Benjamin can really run and Cleveland's offense is improving.

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

Travis Benjamin (hamstring) and Mohamed Massaquoi (hamstring) remained limited in Browns practice Thursday.

Massaquoi and Benjamin will return after sitting out in Week 6, but coach Pat Shurmur has hinted their snaps will be limited. Neither player should be anywhere near your roster in 12-14 team leagues.

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

Browns WR Travis Benjamin (hamstring) returned to practice Friday, but is listed as doubtful for Week 6.

Benjamin was "very limited" in practice, however, and is not expected to play until Week 7. Mohamed Massaquoi (hamstring) and Jordan Norwood (foot) are sitting out again on Friday. Josh Cooper is still expected to get the call from the practice squad.

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

Browns WR Travis Benjamin (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Both Benjamin and Mohamed Massaquoi are going to sit this one out. Unimpressive rookie Josh Gordon is going to get a shot to start opposite Greg Little.

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

Browns WRs Travis Benjamin (hamstring) and Mohamed Massaquoi (hamstring) are both sitting out Thursday's practice.

We knew Benjamin was dinged, but this is the first we've heard that it's a hamstring injury. Missing Thursday's practice is never a good sign for a player's availability on Sunday. Josh Gordon could be starting opposite Greg Little this week.

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

Rookie WR/KR Travis Benjamin played 45-of-71 snaps (63 percent) versus the Ravens in Week 4.

Greg Little played 64 while third receiver Josh Gordon played 30. Although NFL Network reported Benjamin would start, it was actually Josh Cribbs lined up opposite Little. Following Cribbs' concussion, Benjamin took over on returns and on offense. He had one pass sail through his hands, was the intended receiver on Brandon Weeden's pick-six and generally looked lost on returns. He finished with just two catches for 26 yards.

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

Travis Benjamin caught two passes for 44 yards with a touchdown in the Browns' Week 3 loss to the Bills.

Benjamin's first career touchdown was a pretty 22-yard strike over the middle that brought the Browns within three points in the third quarter. However, he continues to play behind Greg Little, Mo Massaquoi and Greg Little. There's no real upside here.

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

Browns fourth-round WR Travis Benjamin (undisclosed) returned to practice Friday.

Benjamin missed Thursday's preseason game after sitting out all week. "I was kind of nicked up,'' he said. "It wasn't really as sore. I had a few minor problems, but it’s OK now." Severely undersized at 5-foot-10, 172 pounds, Benjamin could have a hard time staying healthy as a rookie. For what it's worth, Benjamin said he could have played in Thursday's second preseason game.

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

Browns fourth-round WR Travis Benjamin (soreness) has missed the last two days of practice.

Benjamin's size (5'10/173) was already a concern and now he's too sore to practice after his first game at the NFL level. Benjamin's poor durability will hold him back in his competition with Mohamed Massaquoi and Jordan Norwood for regular snaps.

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

Coach Pat Shurmur expects fourth-round WR Travis Benjamin to contribute on offense as a rookie.

"Absolutely," Shurmur said. "I think both of those guys [Benjamin and second-rounder Josh Gordon], if they progress like they're doing at the pace they're going now, then I think they'll be major contributors. Both those guys." We'd advise waiting for the depth chart to shake out before drafting either of the Browns rookie receivers.

Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

According to Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports, Browns coaches believe rookie WR Travis Benjamin could push for playing time this season.

Fellow rookie Josh Gordon has been the talk of camp with his "striking" size and fast learning, but Benjamin has been consistently making plays. "[Gordon] is a big physical guy. With Greg Little and Benjamin there too, we feel like we've gone from a so-so group to a really good group," said coach Pat Shumur. "We're excited about them, we really are." Benjamin is a player to monitor in Dynasty leagues only. Meanwhile, the wind has gone out of the "Mohamed Massaquoi: breakout player" sails.
