Earl Bennett's role is expected to expand this season, reiterates the Chicago Tribune.
Offensive coordinator Mike Martz is already on the record this offseason saying Bennett will have a "much larger role." We'll wait to see what the Bears do in free agency before getting too excited, but Bennett is a PPR flier at the very least right now. He'll at least be a slot man for Martz.

The Chicago Tribune expects Earl Bennett to get a chance at the starting job opposite Johnny Knox this season.
Offensive coordinator Mike Martz recently made comments indicating Bennett is in store for a larger role. We expect Chicago to be a major player on the free agent wideout market, however, and signing someone like Steve Breaston would relegate Bennett to slot duty. The slot is still a plenty productive position in Martz's offense for Bennett to flirt with WR3 value in PPR leagues.
