CHI TE Martellus Bennett - Week 4, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Martellus Bennett - Week 4 vs. Green Bay

Martellus Bennett has been a nice surprise this season. In standard formats he's scored more points than Jimmy Graham through the first three weeks. He has a touchdown catch in each game, including two in Week 3. He's also had at least five receptions in each game.

Statistically speaking the Packers have allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. But Green Bay hasn't faced a team with a legitimate threat at the position. Seattle, New York (Jets) and Detroit don't have a tight end that's targeted as much as Marty B.

Look for the Black Unicorn to continue his success into Week 4. He should be viewed as a TE1.

CHI TE Martellus Bennett - Week 3, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Martellus Bennett - Week 3 vs. New York Jets

Martellus Bennett has opened the season with a strong presence. The Black Unicorn has caught a touchdown in each of the team's first two games. He also has 18 targets so far, best for second on the team behind Brandon Marshall. He also leads the team in receptions with 15, making him more valuable in PPR formats.

Statistically speaking the Jets have given up the fewest amount of points to tight ends this season. But that stat comes with an asterisk. The Jets haven't really faced a legitimate TE threat so far. Bennett has proven to be a TE1 and one of Jay Cutler's favorite targets.

Bennett should be viewed as a TE1 this week and can be started in all formats.

CHI TE Martellus Bennett - Week 2, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Martellus Bennett - Week 2 vs. San Francisco

Update
Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery are listed as questionable for Sunday night's game. If either one, or both, of these guys don't play Bennett will likely see an increase in targets.
End Update

Martellus Bennett benefited from Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery missing playing time in Week 1. The Bears TE saw 10 targets (second behind only Marshall) and turned it into eight receptions for 70 yards and a touchdown.

Bennett will face a much tougher opponent this week in San Francisco. The 49ers held Jason Witten to just two receptions for 14 yards in Week 1 and Witten is much more talented than Bennett.

His 10 targets in Week 1 is promising, but the 49ers defense is not. Bennett should be viewed as a low-end TE1 for Week 2.

CHI TE Martellus Bennett - Week 1, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Martellus Bennett - Week 1 vs. Buffalo Bills

Martellus Bennett set career highs in receptions (65) and receiving yards (759) last season under Marc Trestman. While he's not one of the top tight ends in the league, he is serviceable in fantasy.

In Week 1 he faces a Buffalo Bills team that lost linebacker Kiko Alonso for the season. Alonso helped make the Bills one of the toughest defenses against tight ends a season ago. Without Alonso in the middle, Bennett should find some success. He's a borderline TE1 play.

CHI TE Martellus Bennett - 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Martellus Bennett finished as the 11th best tight end last year in fantasy. He also saw the eighth most targets among tight ends, which is impressive considering how many targets Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey receive.

Fantasy Downside
Bennett isn't the type of tight end who will have a huge performance. He only has one game in his career where he's caught more than one touchdown. He's also never had a 100-yard game in his career.

Bottom Line
The Black Unicorn is a borderline TE1 this season. He doesn't offer much upside, but it's unlikely that he'll have a disappointing season. He's worth a late round selection.
