New England Patriots linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley, who recently signed a two-year contract extension that includes $9 million guaranteed, ranks second among 89 linebackers with a 39.5 percent run-stop win rate since 2018, according to ESPN analytics. His production in coverage, which was viewed as a weakness when he entered the NFL, has steadily evolved. According to NFL NextGen Stats, 55 linebackers were targeted 30-plus time in coverage last year, and Bentley ranked eighth-best in allowing 5.4 yards per target. The 26-year-old had a team-high 125 tackles in 2022 and also secured three sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery in 17 games. The former fifth-rounder should garner attention in deeper IDP fantasy formats in 2023.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
