Benson (knee) was a non-participant at practice Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Benson was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice, so this is a step backward for the wideout. With a short week, Benson's status is very much up in the air for Thursday.

Benson (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
EDGE Analysis
Benson was held out of Sunday's game against the Browns after he was a late addition to the injury report. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return to the field Thursday against the Bears.

Benson (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Benson was a late addition to the injury report after being limited in practice on Friday. Despite playing at least 69 percent of wide receiver snaps the last two weeks, Benson had only managed two receptions on three targets for 17 yards. This could create extra opportunity for newly acquired wideout Josh Reynolds.

Benson is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns due to a knee injury, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Benson was a late addition to the Lions' Week 11 injury report, as the knee issue rendered him a limited participant in Friday's session. After the 24-year-old was a healthy inactive Weeks 6 and 7, he's re-entered Detroit's wideout rotation in both of the past two games, handling 72 and 69 percent snap shares between those contests but drawing just three targets. Even if he's able to move past the knee injury in advance of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, Benson can't be relied upon to handle meaningful volume in the Detroit passing attack.

Benson caught two of three targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 16-16 tie with Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Benson remained in the rotation, though he clearly ran as a secondary option behind top receivers Kalif Raymond and Amon-Ra St. Brown. However, with Josh Reynolds likely to get a chance to produce after being claimed off waivers this past week, Benson could conceivably return to being a healthy scratch as soon as Week 11 against Cleveland.

Benson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Benson has been a healthy inactive for each of the team's last two games. Geronimo Allison has taken over as the team's fifth receiver, leaving Benson without a consistent role.

Benson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Benson has served as a depth receiver in every game for the Lions to this point in the campaign, racking up a total of six receptions for 55 yards. However, Geronimo Allison was elevated from the practice squad prior to the team's Week 6 matchup, which will force Benson to the inactive list.

Benson was targeted twice but did not record a catch during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Averaging over three targets per game entering the week, Benson wasn't able to get anything going despite seeing extra run in the absence of Quintez Cephus (shoulder). Should Tyrell Williams (concussion) remain sidelined in Week 6 against the Bengals, Benson could continue to see an uptick in playing time.

Benson caught two of three targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Benson was clearly the No. 4 option at wide receiver and nothing more than the sixth option in the passing game overall. He remains far off the fantasy radar despite the absence of Tyrell Williams (concussion).

Benson was targeted once but did not catch a pass during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
After seeing nine targets over the first two weeks of the season, Benson was hardly a factor despite the continued absence of Tyrell Williams (concussion). The same was true for Amon-Ra St. Brown as Quintez Cephus and Kalif Raymond easily paced the position group in playing time. With Williams possibly back in the mix as soon as Week 6, Benson will have a couple of more games before things may get even harder to earn snaps.
