SUMMARY
Wide Receiver Rank: #67   
Overall: #187


Bennett had another solid season in a reserve role for the Bears last season. He topped 45 receptions for the second straight season. His numbers were a little down compared to the previous season, but pretty close to his career-best season. In the last two seasons, Bennett averages 50 receptions for 639 yards and three touchdowns. Bennett should continue to get some playing time with the starting unit and serve as the No. 3 receiver most weeks for the Bears. 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
The Bears passing game will spread the wealth, which is good for Bennett, but don't expect huge numbers from the reserve receiver. His averages the last two seasons are a pretty good indicator for this coming season. He should get around 50 receptions for 600 yards and a few scores, making him a decent reserve for fantasy teams. He'll have the occasional big game.
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 might see time on punt returns in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions if WR Devin Hester (ankle) cannot go.
