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. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS

Leads team in tackles
Bentley played in 17 games and compiled 125 tackles (62 solo), three sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery during the 2022 season.
ANALYSIS
Bentley had the best season of his career, setting new highs in tackles and sacks while also recording his first interception since 2018. The 26-year-old led the Patriots in both solo and total tackles while finishing fourth in sacks. With one more year remaining on his contract, the 2018 fifth-round pick should be locked in as one of New England's starting inside linebackers for next season.
