9. Corey Brown, WR-Carolina Panthers
The fantasy football world felt the shockwaves when the reports came out that second year wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin was carted off the field during the Carolina Panthers practice this week.
Everyone’s worst fears came true when Benjamin was diagnosed with a torn ACL, thus will be out for the entire 2015 season.
In the cruel world that is the NFL all the Panthers can do is look down the bench and say who is the next man up?
Corey “Philly” Brown may have gone undrafted in the 2014 draft, but he is now going to be expected to grow rather quickly. The Panthers will need someone to take over the 145 targets Benjamin amassed last season.
Greg Olsen should see an uptick in targets, but a tight end will not be able to stretch the field like Benjamin did week in and week out.
While you won’t want to put all your sleeper stock in Brown he could be interesting draft and stash to see how the Panthers offense flows at the start of the 2015 season.
