Two assists before injury Bentancur provided two assists before coming off injured during Sunday's 5-0 win over Norwich.
Impact Bentancur added two assists, moving to four in 17 appearances for Tottenham. The midfielder came off injured shortly after his second assist and was replaced by Harry Winks. Bentancur was on pace for a poor offensive return in the 2021/22 campaign before three assists in the final three matches smoothed over his total return. Bentancur will have limited fantasy upside in 2022/23 simply due to his generally defensive role in midfield.

Impact Bentancur returns following just one match on the shelf due to his ankle problem.

Given his limited offensive upside, Bentancur shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value moving forward.

Available versus Everton Bentancur (ankle) will be in contention against Everton on Monday.
Impact Bentancur is set to return following just one match on the sidelines due to his ankle problem. In his last five appearances (four starts), the midfielder registered two shots (zero on target), 13 tackles (five won) and seven interceptions. Considering Bentancur has put just one shot on target in 28 appearances this year (including his time with Juventus), fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him to put one into the netting any time soon.

Out with ankle injury Bentancur will miss Saturday's clash against Leeds United with an ankle injury, Spurs manager Antonio Conte confirmed Friday.

Impact Bentancur hasn't set the world alight since transferring to Tottenham at the end of the winter transfer window. Aside from a decent showing in a 2-0 defeat against Wolves on Feb. 13, he's been slightly disappointing so far. But an adjustment period to the physicality of the Premier League should be expected for a young midfielder, and he still has plenty of time to adapt to his new team and improve his performances.
