Benjamin (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is viewed as a "long shot" to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Benjamin appears set to miss his second straight game with the right foot injury after he was unable to advance beyond limited practice participation this week. With Benjamin trending toward another inactive status, Tyrell Williams and Mike Williams will be locked in as the clear top complements in the passing game behind lead wideout Keenan Allen. Geremy Davis or J.J. Jones would fill in for Benjamin on the rare occasions the Chargers utilize four-receiver sets.

Benjamin (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Benjamin can stretch the field vertically when healthy, but he'll be a speculative fantasy play until he gets a full and productive game in, given that the capable trio of Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Tyrell Williams remain in the Chargers' wideout mix.

Benjamin (foot) did not practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
More on Benjamin's Week 3 status come Friday, but missing practice Thursday after being limited Wednesday isn't the most promising sign regarding the wideout's chances of suiting up Sunday against the Rams.

Benjamin (foot) was limited at Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
When healthy enough to play, Benjamin has the speed to break off the occasional big play, but weekly volume figures to be an issue for him with Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Tyrell Williams also on the Chargers' wideout depth chart.

Benjamin (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Benjamin entered the day as a game-time call, but appeared to be trending toward suiting up after the wideout flashed a thumbs-up sign to Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com following a pregame workout. The Chargers' training staff evidently felt differently about Benjamin's ability to play through the foot injury, however, resulting in the team holding him out of the Week 2 contest. Benjamin's absence should lock both Tyrell Williams and Mike Williams in as consistent presences alongside Keenan Allen in three-wideout sets, with Geremy Davis likely filling in for Benjamin when a fourth receiver is needed.

Benjamin (foot) "is now considered unlikely to play" Sunday against the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
If Benjamin does miss the contest, the Chargers will miss his play-making skills, but they still have a solid trio of wideouts to roll out in Week 2, namely Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Tyrell Williams.

Benjamin (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bills, is expected to be a game-time decision, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Benjamin was unable to practice at any point this week, but the Chargers will see how his foot responded to the time off by evaluating him during pregame warmups. If the wideout is able to run and cut without any major issues, he could be given the green light to play, though it's uncertain how extensive his role would be in Week 2. Even while ostensibly healthy in the Week 1 loss to the Chiefs, Benjamin managed just one catch for one yard on five targets, putting him behind fellow receivers Keenan Allen (eight catches for 108 yards and a touchdown), Mike Williams (five catches for 81 yards) and Tyrell Williams (two catches for eight yards and a touchdown) in terms of productivity.

Benjamin (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
In the aftermath of a Week 1 loss to the Chiefs, Benjamin was wearing a walking boot on his right foot and proceeded to miss every practice this week. Despite the lack of practice reps, the Chargers have given the wide receiver a questionable designation, giving him a glimmer of hope for active status Week 2. In the event he doesn't suit up Sunday, second-year pro Mike Williams should have a substantial role within the offense.

Benjamin (foot) will not practice Friday, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Benjamin has yet to practice this week which likely puts his availability for Sunday's game in doubt. If the 28-year-old is officially ruled out as expected, Mike Williams (five catches, 81 yards in Week 1) stands to gain a fair bit of fantasy value in his absence.
