The 21-year-old center has five points, 21 shots on net, nine blocked shots, five hits and a plus-2 rating across nine contests.

With four points, 19 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over eight contests this season, Beniers will need to be more consistent to be helpful for fantasy managers, though his defensive work will keep him in a prominent role.

Fantasy managers should be able to count on Beniers getting back over the 50-point threshold.
