I agree with you, but I don't think you should write off Bennett just yet. Hester has a year of experience under his belt playing wide receiver at an NFL level and some game-breaking speed. Bennett is more or less a rookie after being a backup wide receiver last year, but he has a lot going for him in the talent department and in his established relationship with Cutler from college.

While Hester is the TD threat in this offense, Bennett is likely to see more targets and more receptions, and he's a nice player to target this week in PPR leagues.

I think Hester made the plays where he could, but I was very surprised that the Bears didn't do more to get tight end Greg Olsen more involved. He's got great hands, and he could have made a few plays for them -- if Jay Cutler had kept the ball in their hands a bit longer, that is.

Well I'll say this…if Jay Cutler would have thrown the ball to Hester the way he tried to throw it to Bennett then Chicago would have had very little issues. I see big play ability and polish on Hester, NOT Bennett.

Great writeup. I can’t believe that Delhomme played the way he did. I have a suspicion he’ll bounce back some. And McNabb better be healthy or I’m in trouble.
