SUMMARY
Wide Receiver Rank: #69   
Overall: #204


Bennett was supposed to have a breakout season, getting more work in the Bears passing game but that didn't come to fruition last year. He caught just 24 passes in 11 games. Bennett did have three straight games with 75 or more yards but had fewer than 50 yards in every other game last season. Bennett was far from consistent in the offense. Bennett had two straight seasons with 45-plus catches before last year. During the last three years, Bennett averages 41 receptions for 553 yards and two touchdowns per season. He could be the starter opposite Brandon Marshall this coming season but is likely to get similar targets to the last few seasons in a new run-first offense. Bennett isn't a speed guy, but has some quickness and is a solid possession receiver. He seems a better fit for the slot than as a starter.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Bennett isn't likely to set career highs but could get 600 or 700 yards with a few scores, making him worth a look as a reserve. He is capable of the big game at times, making him worth some spot starts.
Chicago Bears WR Earl Bennett could start at wide receiver this season if the team decides to use WR Devin Hester for a special package of plays.
Fantasy Impact: Don't count on it with a talented rookie around but Bennett could get a little more playing time early in the season before fading out.

Chicago Bears WR Earl Bennett managed just one reception in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers, and it went for a 49-yard gain to the Green Bay 1-yard line in the third quarter. Bennett's production has tailed off significantly since QB Jay Cutler (thumb) went down with an injury. He has just four receptions for 79 yards over his past five games.
Fantasy Impact: Bennett isn't worth using right now.

Chicago Bears WR Earl Bennett said he plans to wear his banned orange cleats, that have netted him $15,000 in fines, for the team's Dec. 25 game. Bennett said Tuesday, Dec. 6, that the orange cleats are 'in the family vault,' but 'I think I'm gonna pull them back out for Christmas; probably Lambeau (Field).'

Chicago Bears WR Earl Bennett posted 75 receiving yards on three receptions in Week 11 against the San Diego Chargers. Bennett has 75 or more receiving yards in each of his three games since returning from a chest injury.
Fantasy Impact: Bennett is the top fantasy receiver for the Bears right now, playing well since his return from injury. He is worth using as a No. 3 fantasy receiver.

Chicago Bears WR Earl Bennett had six receptions for 81 yards in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions, leading the team in receiving for the second straight week since returning from a chest injury.
Fantasy Impact: Bennett is emerging as the top receiver in this offense. He is worth a look in all formats.

Chicago Bears WR Earl Bennett might see time on punt returns in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions if WR Devin Hester (ankle) cannot go. Bennett is averaging 10.7 yards per punt return for his career, including a 49-yard touchdown in 2009. 'If I get in, I know what to do, so it shouldn't be strange to me,' Bennett said.
