2025 Fantasy Outlook
Benteke is coming off a phenomenal season, one where he led MLS in goals with 23 across 30 appearances. He also provided five assists, four of which came in the final 11 matches. He had a consistent season as he didn't go for more than three consecutive matches without scoring a goal. It was a vast improvement on his first full MLS season in 2023 when he scored 14 goals across 31 starts. Despite taking more shots during the 2023 campaign, 107 compared to 94 in 2024, Benteke was far more efficient with his chances in 2024 and appears to have settled into the league very well. With much of D.C. United's attack returning, Benteke will be a contender to lead MLS in goals again in 2025.

Benteke (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's match against Columbus, according to the MLS injury report.
ANALYSIS
Benteke could be making his return this week after he was absent last match with a thigh injury, now listed as questionable. This is good news for the club, as he is their lead forward and has scored six goals this season. That said, if he were to be an option, the forward would likely see the start.
