Bennett to help Witten: According to the San Antonio Express News, Dallas coach Wade Phillips raved about the way rookie TE Martellus Bennett runs routes and gets open. "I like the way he moves," Phillips said. "He separates from the defensive backs or linebackers. He naturally does that well, which is a real positive." Another Bennett asset is his ability to block, something he did often for Texas A&M. Because of that, the Cowboys can play Pro Bowl TE Jason Witten more in the slot, a move that could result in a mismatch if the defense covers him with a defensive back. "(Bennett) gives us versatility," Phillips said. "That's what we were looking for." The Cowboys are counting on Bennett, who had 49 receptions as a junior last season, to make an immediate impact.

Injury Report
No information available at this time (Updated 5/22/08).
Fantasy Analysis
Look for Bennett to be productive as the Cowboys second tight end, but Witten will remain the workhorse in the passing game. Consider Witten a No. 1 option and only draft Bennett in deep seasonal leagues or late in large keeper formats. (Updated 05/06/2008).
