I like him as a late round flyer.  He was playing thru injury last year.  Mike Williams is hurt, and Keenan gets hurt a lot.

Eerily quiet on this guy.  There could be a lot of targets for him this year.

49ers WR Travis Benjamin has opted out of the 2020 season.

Benjamin spent most of 2019 on IR with a quad injury and didn't see the field much even when healthy. He finished the year with just six catches for 30 yards. His overall production has declined in every year since 2015. Benjamin was unlikely to play a major role for San Francisco but Richie James (wrist) and Deebo Samuel (foot surgery) are both looking questionable for Week 1. Add in Benjamin's decision to opt out and the wide receiver room in San Francisco is becoming increasingly vacant. The team could look to add a veteran in the coming days.

49ers released WR Travis Benjamin.

Benjamin didn't play in 2020 after opting out. In 2019, he missed significant time with a quad injury and recorded just six catches for 30 yards over the entire season. He is now 31 years old and completely off the fantasy radar. With that being said, he's still a viable return man, although San Francisco has sixth-round rookie running back Elijah Mitchell to fill that role.
