Benford

Benford has a chance to return for his team’s Monday Night Football game against the Rams. That said, his play declined last year, and it hasn’t exactly rebounded. If active, Benford should not dissuade anyone from treating the Rams’ wide receivers as they normally would.

No real surprises here. Benford was listed as questionable heading into the day, but he didn’t practice at all this week so he was never likely to play. Rookie Davison Igbinosun is likely to step into his spot opposite Maxwell Hairston, which makes the Bills young and inexperienced on the boundary. Perhaps Drake Maye could finally take advantage of that on the way to his first truly good fantasy game of the season.

Despite the questionable listing, Benford did not appear in the media portion of practice on Friday. At best, he’ll be listed as limited later today. Benford seems to be on the pessimistic side of questionable for Week 4.

The Bills’ No. 1 cornerback is on the wrong side of questionable through two Week 4 practices. Fortunately, the Patriots’ wide receiver corps is nothing to write home about.

Benford missed the second half of Week 3’s win over the Chargers with the toe injury. He was spotted in a boot after the game. A DNP today puts him on the wrong side of questionable for Week 4. That should make Buffalo an easier matchup for Drake Maye, but fantasy managers might have already thrown in the towel on Maye, and rightfully so.

Benford was in coverage away from the ball when he planted to run forward and came up hobbling. He went down and then later gingerly walked off the field with trainers. Considering Benford previously missed games with a toe injury last season, this is something to monitor in the coming weeks. Davison Igbinosun will come in to take Benford’s place.

Benford will miss just one game with the toe injury suffered during practice in Week 15. It is bad news for a talent-deficient Browns receiving corps. The Bills’ defense struggles to slow opposing run games, though, giving the Browns a clear lane to either produce an upset or lose with style.

Benford injured his toe last Thursday and was unable to play on Sunday. He has since logged two limited sessions, putting him on track to play. The Browns’ wide receiver corps hardly instills fear, and the Bills have playoff aspirations. It is possible that they hold him out this week, just to play things safely.

The Bills’ top cornerback picked up a toe injury in practice towards the end of the week, and is unfortunately unable to go on Sunday. This is a huge loss for Buffalo, as Benford has been near elite over the last few weeks since overcoming an early season injury. The bills will start Tre’Davious White and Maxwell Hairston at corners and their depth will be severely tested, which is probably why they tried to sign Darius Slay a couple of weeks ago. The Bills also declared WR Gabe Davis, OT Tylan Grable, OT Chase Lundt. DT Phidarian Mathis, LB Terrel Bernard, and S Darnell Savage inactive.

Benford picked up a toe injury in practice on Thursday and was a DNP on Friday. He was spotted without a walking boot on the sideline during Friday’s practice. He’s likely a true question mark at this point. LB Terrel Bernard (elbow) got in three limited sessions this week and was also put on the questionable line by Sean McDermott.
