Earl Bennett injury update: Fantasy value zero due to concussion
Earl Bennett will miss Sunday’s game between the Bears and the Packers due to a concussion. We break down the fantasy implications.
Leon Halip
Bennett hasn’t had more than 50 yards receiving in any game this season, and did not score a single touchdown until Week 13. He will miss his second straight game.
Fantasy Impact: While Bennett was a nice outlet for quarterback Jay Cutler, he really wasn't much of a fantasy option. His 4-to-6 targets per game will be dispersed among Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery and Devin Hester, so adjust their fantasy value accordingly. The Packers have a middle-of-the-road pass defense, so any of the three could be productive, though Marshall is the only safe fantasy starter.
