Green Bay Packers tight end Martellus Bennett and quarterback Aaron Rodgers are still building their chemistry on the field since Bennett came over from New England in the offseason — Bennett has 11 receptions for 102 yards and no scores through the first three games of the season. The standout tight end has had some big drops week to week as well.

If Bennett can get on the same page with his QB, he is looking at a good matchup against division rivals Chicago Bears Thursday night. The Bears have given up 194 receiving yards to opposing tight ends, second-most in the league. Most of those yards (128) went to Atlanta Falcons TE Austin Hooper in the season opener.
Fantasy impact: Bennett has been a fantasy letdown so far this season. He is low on the target list even with key receivers missing in the Packers offense. However, Bennett is always a fantasy threat. Bennett knows the Bears defense well as a former member of the team. The Bears defense has been vulnerable against TEs and Bennett can really expose them Thursday night.
