Fantasy Impact: Bennett has been one of the better fantasy values at tight end this season, so Sunday’s injury and low output was a bit of a disappointment for fantasy owners against Cleveland’s defense. The fact that he was able to stay in the game was encouraging but he is by no means a sure thing for this weekend. Bennett, even if active, is not a great fantasy play against San Francisco’s tough defense.
