2025 Fantasy Outlook

Benton saw increased snaps during his second professional season in 2024, but his stats remained consistent, logging 36 tackles (16 solo), including one sack, which were the exact same stats that he recorded in 2023. He's yet to miss a game in the NFL, and he played over 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps in 13 of 17 appearances last year. The 23-year-old could see another bump in playing time in 2025 after Montravius Adams was let go, so Benton should at least have a solid fantasy floor. Read Past Outlooks

Benton finished the 2024 regular season with 36 tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with six defensed passes (one of which was an interception) and one fumble recovery over 17 contests.

ANALYSIS
Benton has yet to miss a game in his two-year NFL career. He was on the field more often this season than in his rookie campaign -- last year, he logged more than 50 percent of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps four times, while this season that number shot up to 13. However, Benton produced the exact same number of tackles and sacks, though he did boost his tally of pass defenses by four. His numbers aren't appealing in IDP leagues, but Benton has shown promise in his first two pro seasons and should maintain a steady role along Pittsburgh's defensive line in the third year of his rookie contract next season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2024

2023

Benton was selected by Pittsburgh in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft and appeared in all 17 games as a rookie. He tallied 36 tackles (16 solo), including a sack, along with two forced fumbles and two pass defenses. Benton started in nine games but was on the field for just 43 percent of the team's defensive snaps last year. He should have a chance to increase his role in 2024 and is slated to serve as Pittsburgh's starting nose tackle.

Benton excelled during his final two collegiate seasons at Wisconsin and had an impressive Senior Bowl before being selected by the Steelers in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The 22-year-old racked up 4.5 sacks and 10 tackles for a loss with the Badgers during the 2022 campaign and should have an opportunity to compete for a starting role as a rookie.
