The Facts:
The Giants are excited about what their tight ends guru Mike Pope will be able to do with Bennett. But Pope has not been able to get his hands on Bennett as much as he would like to. Bennett has been sidelined by a hamstring injury. Pope said part of the problem has been Bennett's increase in weight to 291 pounds.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Bennett is listed at 6--6, 265 pounds. "Other than the hamstring injury, he is making progress," Pope said of Bennett, who is also making the transition to a new team and offense. "He catches on. He weighed in at 291 pounds last week. So I think that is probably a little too big for his legs to carry. We run a lot more than he might have been accustomed to. ..." Well that's a bit of a concern. With Jake Ballard and Travis Beckum both coming off ACL injuries, it seems like Bennett will finally get the chance to work as New York's top threat at the position. He'll need to get himself in shape to survive Pope, however.
