Fantasy Profile: Martellus Bennett, TE, Chicago Bears
Following a 90 reception season, with the loss of free agent wide receiver Brandon Marshall, tight end Martellus Bennett has a chance to make himself even more instrumental in the Chicago offense. As both a solid open field receiver and tall red zone target, Bennett can prove to be one of the better value picks in fantasy football this year if his touchdown total climbs even a small amount.
Currently being selected in the seventh to eighth rounds of most fantasy drafts, I feel he can provide more bang-for-the-buck than a third round Jimmy Graham or a fifth round Travis Kelce/Greg Olsen pick. While this is true of all leagues, he is especially big in points per reception formats.
