Buffalo Bills News: Kelvin Benjamin and the other guys

The Buffalo Bills wide receiver depth chart is wide open after the top guy. We take a look at that and more in a Friday edition of The Morning Charge.

Kelvin Benjamin has all the tools necessary to become a true No. 1 receiver for the Buffalo Bills. But this year may be his only shot as he is still set to become a free agent after the season.

Benjamin is on the final year of his rookie deal and enters training camp at the top of the depth chart at receiver. That is somewhat by default as the rest of the receivers on the roster are essentially fighting for jobs. Zay Jones should be assured a spot, but he will have to prove himself after a lackluster rookie year and his infamous offseason incident.

While everyone is talking about the quarterback competition, there will be a battle just as intriguing taking place at receiver.

The good news for Bills fans is that the team enters the season with a prototypical No. 1 receiver in Benjamin. But based on his career performance up to date, that No. 1 status may be in question after the season if he doesn’t have a career year.

Here’s a look at that and more in today’s edition of The Morning Charge.
