2024 Fantasy Outlook
Occupying a starting linebacker slot, Bentley led the Patriots in tackles this past season (114), which marked his third straight 100-plus tackle effort for the team. Bentley - who also added 4.5 sacks in 16 games in 2023 - remains under contract with New England through the 2025 campaign and thus is slated to reprise his key role in the team's defense next season under the guidance of new coordinator DeMarcus Covington. Such a context that should continue to result in enough production from the 2018 fifth-rounder to continue to merit attention as an IDP option. Read Past Outlooks
Ruled out for Week 3
The Patriots ruled out Bentley (shoulder) for Thursday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
New England has yet to place Bentley on injured reserve, but sources familiar with his injury have told Mark Daniels and Karen Guregian of MassLive.com that the linebacker is dealing with a torn left pectoral muscle, an injury that could spell an end to his season. The 28-year-old amassed a team-high 12 tackles in the Patriots' Week 1 win over the Bengals, but played just 10 snaps in last Sunday's overtime loss to Seattle before exiting with the injury. Raekwon McMillan is expected to replace Bentley in the lineup for at least Thursday's game, starting at inside linebacker alongside Jahlani Tavai.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
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.
