NFL player news -

After a grey outlook for a couple of key NFL fantasy players, Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin and Saints all-start tight end Jimmy Graham look to be in play in for NFL Week 7.  

Kelvin Benjamin: The NFL Network reports that Kelvin Benjamin has passed his concussion protocols and will be a green light against the Packers in an unusually warm and sunny Lambeau Field. The Packers secondary has not been able to slow down opposing receivers, and Benjamin could produce another banner day for fantasy football owners. Get him back into your lineups and watch the points roll in.

Jimmy Graham: The news isn’t quite so rosy for Jimmy Graham owners. Graham is expected to play, but will not start against on the road against the Lions. Expect him to be part of the Saints red zone packages. Fantasy owners have little choice but to plug him in and hope for the best. Unless you somehow snagged Jordan Reed off of the waiver wire, start Graham in a tough road matchup against the Lions.
