Pats TE Martellus Bennett dealing with ankle injury

Oct 24, 2016

Patriots TE Martellus Bennett played 30 snaps. Bennett, who has been playing through a right ankle injury, had a quiet day as a pass-catcher (one catch, five yards).

Fantasy Impact:

Bennett once again contributed as a blocker. HC Bill Belichick noted the run-blocking of both Gronkowski and Bennett after the game but unfortunately that doesn't get you many fantasy points.

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton and Texans WR Will Fuller are both officially active for Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact:

All signs were pointing toward both because available and making their returns tonight and the teams made that official tonight. Both should be back involved for a huge game for first place in the AFC South but it will be interesting to see if there is any limitations, particularly with Fuller. Nonetheless, very good to see both back in action.

49ers TE George Kittle (leg) and WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder) are both practicing Thursday but wearing non-contact jerseys.

Fantasy Impact:

Good to see both, especially Kittle, back at practice, even if they aren’t fully contacting yet. We’ll see how the team handles the pair Friday and both get all day Sunday to rest with the game being in prime time. At the very least, both should be considered questionable for Sunday night.

Will Fuller expected to play tonight

Texans WR Will Fuller (hamstring) is expected to play tonight against the Colts.

Fantasy Impact:

Fuller has not played since leaving Week 7’s loss to the Colts early with that hamstring injury so this will be a very nice return for the Texans for a very important game in the AFC South. Fuller would slide right back in with DeAndre Hopkins and Kenny Stills, opening the field up more for DeShaun Watson. Fuller may not have a big game like he did against the Falcons, but you have to imagine he’ll be back involved in the offense in some capacity, even if it’s limited tonight as he returns from injury.
