Summary
Trinity Benson carries a 7.0 dynasty score, ranking 1054 at WR. Benson, at 26 years old with one year remaining on his contract, needs a significant uptick in production to raise his dynasty stock. To achieve this, Benson must capitalize on opportunities and establish himself as a reliable contributor for the Bengals.
Projection Rationale
Benson’s 2023 season stat line of 0 receptions for 0 yards indicates a lack of opportunity, which is concerning given his age and impending free agency. The Verdict usage grade is at the 10th percentile, indicating a low level of involvement in the offense. Benson’s contract situation (APY: $216,000, years remaining: 1) does not guarantee a significant role in 2024. Furthermore, the Bengals’ decision not to re-sign him has raised concerns about his future with the team.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2023.
Opportunity Notes
Benson’s snap share percentage was 0% in 2023, indicating a lack of opportunity. With the Browns opting not to re-sign him, Benson’s role is not secure. He will need to compete for playing time in training camp and establish himself as a valuable asset for the Bengals.
Trend Assessment
Stable
Benson’s production has been consistent, but a 2-game sample size is too small to make any definitive conclusions about his trend.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: WR3-WR4; must significantly increase target share and production. Floor: WR6-WR7; trade value is 319, indicating a low market for Benson.
Comparable Player
Andre Rison, 1992-1994.
