Fantasy impact: Bears quarterback Jay Cutler hasn't really have the luxury of a go to tight end since Greg Olsen signed with the Carolina Panthers. Bennett is big, strong, tall and athletic, and those traits lend themselves to a solid red zone target. There's no doubt that receiver Brandon Marshall is the number one guy in Chicago, but until Alshon Jeffery solidifies himself as the Bears' second in command, Bennett will probably see just has many throws come his way in the end zone. Now that Bennett has practiced in full two days in a row, fantasy owners should feel completely comfortable starting him as they normally would against the Steelers in Week 3.
