Bennett caught two passes for 17 yards in Sunday's loss to the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett's quiet day does not come as a surprise given his output this season, but what is shocking is the fact that his 17 yards led all Packers pass catchers. The team will have extra time to get in sync with fill-in quarterback Brett Hundley thanks to a bye in Week 8, but it will be tough to rely on Bennett for fantasy purposes unless Hundley -- who threw for just 87 yards Sunday -- becomes more effective through the air.

Bennett had two receptions for 22 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett has been on the field frequently this season, but he has not been much of a factor in the Packers' passing attack, and is now averaging just over 32 receiving yards per game after six weeks of action. It's difficult to envision his production taking any sort of significant leap with Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) out for an extended period of time, though the Packers' offense could see some changes under new starter Brett Hundley.

Bennett caught three passes for a season-high 53 yards in Sunday's victory over the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett was targeted only three times Sunday, but he made the most of his opportunities, and a 33-yard catch helped him finish the day with his best yardage total since the 2017 campaign kicked off. Bennett has been pretty quiet in the passing game this year, but he has been asked to help block frequently with one or both of starting tackles David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga sitting out each game. It's possible his role could expand some once both linemen take the field at the same time.

Bennett brought in six of seven targets for 39 yards in Thursday's 35-14 win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
There were some nuance to Bennett's stat line, which included a team-high reception total. On the one hand, it was encouraging to see him bring in all but one target for the second straight contest after struggling with drops in a Week 2 loss to the Falcons. Conversely, while he did post a 26-yard grab, his five other receptions went for only 13 yards, a paltry average of 2.6 yards per catch. Bennett and the Packers are clearly still fully integrating him into the team's offensive system, and the good news is that QB Aaron Rodgers has shown no hesitation in getting him involved, as his 28 targets attest. Bennett will look to make an impression against one of his old squads when Green Bay faces off with the Cowboys in a Week 5 road showdown.

Bennett caught three passes for 12 yards in Sunday's victory over the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
A week after being targeted 11 times Bennett saw only four passes thrown his direction Sunday, and he made only a blip on the fantasy radar. It was thought that Bennett would be a red-zone threat for the Packers, but through three games he has not been targeted inside the 20-yard line. Bennett is off to a slow start, but he remains the unquestioned top tight end in Green Bay.

Bennett caught five passes for 47 yards in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett could have had a bigger game Sunday night, but he dropped several passes thrown his direction and finished with fewer than 50 receiving yards for the second time in as many weeks as a Packer. The good news for Bennett and his fantasy owners is that he led the Packers with 11 targets, so it's clear quarterback Aaron Rodgers is already comfortable throwing the ball in his direction often.

Bennett caught three of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Quiet throughout most of his Packers debut, Bennett finally broke through with a 26-yard gain to ice the game at the two-minute warning. He's locked in as the team's top tight end ahead of a more favorable matchup Week 2 in Atlanta.

Bennett is listed as the starting tight end on the Packers' depth chart heading into Week 1.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett's placement on the depth chart is no surprise given that he was brought in to take over as the Packers' top tight end. He played sparingly during the preseason and caught just three passes, but one of them was a three-yard touchdown on a fade from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, something fantasy owners invested in Bennett are hoping to see plenty of this season.

Bennett brought in one of two targets for a three-yard touchdown in Saturday's 21-17 preseason win over the Redskins.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett put a successful cap on the Packers' opening 15-play, 75-yard drive with his score, marking his first time in the end zone in a Packers uniform. Although the touchdown was certainly a nice bonus, the most important takeaway from Bennett's brief game action was the fact he had a chance to officially take the field with Aaron Rodgers for the first time. He and the rest of his first-unit teammates are projected to see a notable bump in snaps during next Saturday's contest against the Broncos.

Bennett caught one pass for 13 yards in Thursday's preseason victory over the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett did not have a chance to see game action with starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who was held out Thursday for precautionary reasons, but most importantly he made it through the Packers' first preseason game healthy.
