Outlook Carson Benge

Benge maintains fantasy momentum despite team struggles

Benge continues to solidify his role as an everyday starter in the outfield, hitting .250 with two home runs over his last six games. While the fifth-place Mets are currently enduring a six-game losing streak, Benge’s individual production remains a bright spot, particularly with key hitters like Marcus Semien and Luis Robert Jr. currently on the injured list.

The young outfielder has shown significant growth over the last 30 days, slashing .280 with six home runs and two stolen bases. This recent surge suggests his early-season power is sustainable, as his current form is outperforming his baseline projections and career average of .256, marking him as a legitimate 20-homer threat.

The weekend schedule brings a tough series at home against Philadelphia, featuring matchups against ace Zack Wheeler and the effective Alan Rangel before a more exploitable finale against Jesus Luzardo. Despite Wheeler’s elite 2.11 ERA, Benge’s recent power output and guaranteed volume in the heart of the order make him a reliable weekly play. Start.
