Bears TE Martellus Bennett has expressed that he's hungry to have a leading role in an offense and he finally emerged when he escaped the vast shadow of Jason Witten in Dallas and spent one season with the Giants, catching 55 passes for 626 yards and five touchdowns, all career bests.

The Bears believe Bennett is one of the better multidimensional tight ends in the league, meaning he's adept at blocking as well. That's a craft he had to master while Witten was getting most of the passes in the Cowboys offense. At 6-5, 265 pounds, he gives Cutler a big target in the middle of the field and, as importantly, in the red zone.

Fantasy Impact:

The story goes on to say that Bennett should be able to match the numbers he put up in New York, but perhaps approach double-digits in TDs. We're not quite as excited about Bennett, predicting about four TDs, but admit there is some potential there. Right now we rank him 19th among TEs which is just TE2 material. He should be available late in drafts.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Adam Schefter on X

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
