The undrafted rookie switched sides to protect Patrick Mahomes' blindside and has not allowed a sack through his first two NFL career starts
Sharp take
Sharp SixNo actionAn undrafted rookie holding up at left tackle is a nice story for Kansas City's line, not a fantasy signal. Mahomes sits behind a 46.5 total and a favorable spread against Indianapolis, and that was true before anyone knew Benson's name. Nothing here changes his stock. Start him because he's Mahomes, not because of the tackle report.
