Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Benn caught 159 career passes for 2,221 yards and seven touchdowns for the University of Illinois. A two-time All-Big Ten selection, the 6-foot-1, 219-pounder has 4.42 speed in the 40-yard dash. He's projected to start right away. As NFP staffer Aaron Wilson points out, the Buccaneers have been complimentary about Benn ever the draft as well as fellow rookie wide receiver Mike Williams, who some consider the more dangerous Fantasy threat despite his fourth-round status. Both will be worth watching in coming weeks.
