2023 Fantasy Outlook
During the 2022 campaign, Bentley racked up a team-high 125 tackles along with three sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery in 17 games. This coming season, the 2018 fifth-rounder is set to reprise his starting inside linebacker role for the Patriots, and in the process, the 6-2, 244-pounder should continue to yield enough production to merit attention in deeper IDP formats.

Leads team in tackles
LBNew England Patriots
January 11, 2024
Bentley recorded 114 tackles, including 4.5 sacks, in 16 games with the Patriots during the 2023 regular season.
ANALYSIS
Occupying a starting linebacker slot, Bentley led the Patriots in tackles this past season while marking his third straight 100-plus tackle effort for the team. Bentley remains under contract with New England through the 2025 campaign and is thus slated to reprise his key role in the defense next season, a context that should continue to result in enough production from the 2018 fifth-rounder to merit fantasy attention in IDP formats.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Bentley, who recorded a team-high 109 tackles in 16 games for the Patriots in 2021, returned to the team on a two-year, $9 million contract this offseason. He's slated to occupy a starting spot in the middle of New England's defense and in the process work as the unit's primary defensive signal-caller. It's a role that should continue to yield a degree of IDP production from the 26-year-old, who New England took in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
