Fantasy Impact: Bennett’s targets have dropped as of late. It could be due to the drops or perhaps defense are realizing that Eli spreads the field after sticking primarily to his wideouts last season. Bennett’s knee shouldn’t be an issue and it looks like he’ll get his normal load.
The matchup isn't friendly with middle linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman covering him on most snaps. Both backers play in nickel and just about package besides dime and quarter sets. He's a high-end TE2.
