Zach Benson | Fantasy Outlook

Benson aims to build on breakout campaign as Buffalo's playmaking spark

Entering his age-21 season, Zach Benson is coming off a productive 2025 campaign where he established career highs with 14 goals, 30 assists, and a sharp +28 rating across 75 games. His relentless motor, high-end playmaking vision, and defensive responsibility have quickly earned him a vital long-term role in the Sabres' top nine.

Our season projection anticipates a steady continuation of that output, slating Benson for 13 goals, 30 assists (43 points), and 116 shots on goal through 65 contests. Although his peripheral volume like hits and blocked shots remains relatively light, his ability to facilitate scoring chances keeps his point floor dependable.

Currently rostered in roughly 21% of fantasy leagues, Benson offers intriguing late-round upside in standard drafts. If he claims top-six deployment and regular power-play opportunity, he has the ceiling to comfortably surpass his projected scoring totals and become a regular fantasy starter.
