Martellus Bennett has seen his fantasy football stock go up a bit after doing well for the New York Giants against the Dallas Cowboys this week. According to the numbers through Sunday night (September 9), Bennett has gone from being on teams in 17.3 percent of all ESPN fantasy football leagues to 27.2 percent in just a few days.
Giants quarterback Eli Manning connected with Bennett 4 times for 40 yards and a touchdown on Wednesday (September 5), putting up numbers good enough to get noticed across most fantasy football worlds. These are numbers that Bennett might be able to improve upon in the coming weeks and owners with weak tight ends on their rosters aren't likely to get left behind on this waiver wire pick up.
The other tight ends that have drawn a lot of interest due to performances this weekend are Dustin Keller of the New York Jets and Greg Olsen of the Carolina Panthers. At a position that is sometimes hard to pin down for some teams, these guys could end up posting very nice fantasy football numbers through the rest of the season.
The next game for Bennett and the Giants will come next Sunday (September 16), when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at MetLife Stadium. If Manning continues to look his way, Bennett could end up seeing even more owners picking him up as the weeks pass by.
