Martellus Bennett injury update: Bears TE active Week 6, fantasy owners can add him to lineups
Martellus Bennett will play on Sunday. We take a look at the fantasy implications.
Fantasy impact: Bennett has seen 11 targets or more over the past two games. His targets will likely decrease with Jeffery returning. However, Bennett should benefit from defenses adjusting their focus on Jeffery. He’ll be a mid-range TE1 for fantasy owners for the week. The Lions are among the top-10 defenses in points allowed to fantasy tight ends. If anyone is to gain the most from Jeffery returning, it’s quarterback Jay Cutler. Bennett and Jeffery on the field should improve Jay Cutler’s fantasy outlook moving forward.
