Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught eight passes for 105 yards in the Week 3 win against the New York Jets. Fellow wideout Brandon Marshall re-injured his ankle in the first half. He returned to the game, but appeared to be limited. He caught a touchdown pass after returning, but it was called back due to a penalty. He finished with one reception for six yards.
Alshon Jeffery, Martellus Bennett produce for fantasy owners on MNF
Alshon Jeffery had a big game for the Bears on Monday Night Football. We bring you the fantasy implications here.
With Marshall at less than full strength, the Bears' ability to stretch the field was limited and the run game was virtually non-existent. Tight end Martellus Bennett caught both touchdown passes thrown by quarterback Jay Cutler and Bennett finished with 54 receiving yards.
Fantasy impact: With Marshall being limited, his fantasy numbers obviously suffered while Jeffery put up good numbers for his owners. Bennett continues to produce for his fantasy owners with at least one touchdown reception in every game this year. The Bears' passing game looks good enough to support three fantasy options in Jeffery, Marshall and Bennett. They will face the Green Bay Packers in Week 4. The Packers are giving up the 18th most fantasy points to wide receivers through Week 3.
