Martellus Bennett will play Week 12 after being hampered by an ankle injury entering the game. Despite limitations in his preparation for the New York Jets, Bennett will be on the field for the New England Patriots, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. With the Patriots visiting the division rival Jets, Tom Brady is likely to take advantage of all of the weapons at his disposal and put up some gaudy numbers. Bennett surely factors into that equation and is likely to see a solid amount of opportunities to catch the football.

Fantasy Outlook: With Bennett playing Week 12, fantasy owners are looking for him to get his fair share of opportunities to mirror his productive outings earlier in the season. With Rob Gronkowski playing as well, that task will be a little more difficult. Owners with Bennett as their only tight end will surely start him, but owners with options can see Bennett as a solid Flex option Week 12.
