Kelvin Benjamin was released by the Bills earlier this week and went unclaimed on the waiver wire. Benjamin had 354 yards on 23 catches and only one touchdown in his time in Buffalo this season. His lack of production can be attributed to the Bills unstable quarterback situation. It can also be as likely that his troubles this season are because of his talent deteriorating. The Chiefs, who released star running back Kareem Hunt earlier this week, will soon find out if the big body receiver still has what it takes to make a difference in their offense.
