Creates three chances in derby De Jong created three chances and made one tackle during Saturday's 1-0 win over Espanyol.

Impact De Jong is never going to be a major attacking, or fantasy option, it's simply not the type of player he is. That said he has become a strong part of the starting XI, and those consistent minutes give him some sort of fantasy floor. He will be a safe, if not glamorous, or high-ceiling option Tuesday, against Benfica.

Impact De Jong returns to the pitch after a two-game stint on the sidelines resulting from his hamstring issue. In his previous three UCL appearances, the midfielder has registered two shots (zero on target), three chances created and six tackles (two won). Given his limited offensive upside, de Jong shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value, at best.

Available Tuesday De Jong (hamstring) is available for Tuesday's clash with Kyiv, and is in the preliminary squad.

Impact De Jong is in the preliminary squad for Tuesday's match, and could play straight away, though a cameo is more likely. 21/22 has been a lost season for De Jong so far, but his talent is undeniable, and when he is a consistent starter he brings fair fantasy value.
