 Michael Bennett Information
Michael Bennett (April 8, 1943 - July 2, 1987) was an American musical theater director, choreographer, and dancer.
Bennett made his debut as the choreographer for A Joyful Noise (1966), which lasted only twelve performances, followed in 1967 by another failure, Henry, Sweet Henry (based on the Peter Sellers film The World of Henry Orient).
Bennett's next musical was the unfortunately unsuccessful Ballroom (1978) starring Dorothy Loudon, but he found himself at the top again with Dreamgirls (1981), which revolved around an African-American singing girl group that strongly suggested the Supremes.

Michael Bennett was a track star in college and needed some time to develop as a runner in the NFL.
This year, Bennett should be fully healthy (was recently clocked at 9.91 in the 100m dash) to start the season and should be the unquestioned starter now that Onterrio Smith has been suspended for the season.
Bennett, the player most likely to benefit from that switch, won’t gain too many fantasy points via receptions or touchdowns, but he’s probably the fastest RB in the league and should put up big yardage totals as long as he stays healthy.
