Panthers' Kelvin Benjamin: Blanked against Vikings

Benjamin did not catch a pass and was only targeted once during Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

Analysis:

Benjamin started the season with 13 catches for 199 yards and three touchdowns in two games but was essentially invisible Sunday against Minnesota's impressive defense. Although quarterback Cam Newton was sacked eight times, the towering wideout still wasn't targeted until the fourth quarter and also committed two penalties while blocking, including one that negated a 56-yard touchdown catch by Fozzy Whittaker. On the back of the worst performance of his young career, Benjamin will aim to rebound in Week 4 against a Falcons defense that's proven vulnerable versus the pass thus far.
