Martellus Bennett

Martellus Bennett (hamstring, shoulder) ruled out for Patriots in Week 12

New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett (questionable, hamstring/shoulder) is out for Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins.

What It Means:

Bennett has been banged up all year and with New England favored by 16.5 points on Sunday, it makes sense to give him a week to rest. Dwayne Allen will back up Rob Gronkowski in Week 12.

Gronk is always going to get his in this offense, but with no legitimate competition for snaps or targets he's our top tight end for fantasy this week by far. We project him for 68.6 receiving yards and 1.0 touchdowns on 4.3 catches – 14.95 FanDuel points. That may actually be a bit of a steal with his salary sitting at an affordable $7,700 this week.
