Benzema bagged a brace during Real Madrid's 4-1 win over Real Sociedad on Saturday.
Playing without Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid had little trouble finding the back of the net, with Benzema's two goals met by ones from Sergio Ramos and James. Benzema now has three goals in his last two games to increase his season total to 11, which he's coupled with eight assists in 18 games.

Benzema scored in the 27th minute of Real Madrid's 2-1 win over Cordoba on Saturday, his ninth goal in league play this season.
Benzema's nine goals put him sixth in La Liga, while his eight assists are topped by only teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who was sent off with a straight red card Saturday, which means the scoring pressure will be put on Benzema and Gareth Bale during CR7's upcoming suspension.

Benzema picked up his eighth assist of the season during Real Madrid's 3-0 win over Getafe on Sunday.
While most of Benzema's goals came before December, he still has a solid eight goals to go along with his eight assists, the latter of which is second in La Liga behind teammate Cristiano Ronaldo (nine). Benzema did get to shots on goal, the first time he's had multiple on-target attempts in league play since Nov. 22 against Eibar.

Benzema picked up two assists in Real Madrid's 4-1 win over Almeria on Friday.
Benzema continues to be an excellent complement to Cristiano Ronaldo, as he now has eight goals and seven assists in 13 La Liga matches. He's deservingly in Ronaldo's (25 goals and eight assists) shadow, but Benzema is still an elite fantasy option.
