Fantasy Football Top 15 Deep Sleepers for 2016 – Number Three: Martellus Bennett

Tight end, Martellus Bennett, switched teams this off-season. He went from the Chicago Bears to the New England Patriots. The Patriots have a few weapons on offense. They’ve got Gronk, Edelman and now Bennett.

Bennett should be a nice secondary red zone target if Gronk is being double or triple teamed. Bennett received 53 passes for 439 yards and three touchdowns for Chicago last year. He will improve on those numbers in New England with Tom Brady throwing him the pigskin most of the time.

The 29-year-old tight end is going 126 overall and is ranked the 13th best tight end. Bennett might not be an every week starter but he could be a fill in guy when a good match-up occurs.
