Chicago Bears tight end Martellus Bennett has been a quiet fantasy producer in recent weeks. Bennett started the season with a red-hot start as he typically does but has failed keep the pace going. After hauling in four touchdowns in the first three weeks, he's only found the end zone one since then. In the same time span, Bennett has only topped more than 60 yards receiving twice. Bennett has the athletic ability to produce in any given week but wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey are finally healthy and hogging up the majority of targets.
Fantasy start/sit advice, Week 12: Martellus Bennett
The Bears tight end hasn’t been a fantasy difference maker in recent weeks. Can he turn it around in Week 12?

Fantasy Impact: Bennett won't have a particularly tough match up in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Their defense is squarely in the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Owners should continue to expect to see him targeted as the team's third option at best. Bennett will remain a back-end TE1.
