2024 Fantasy Outlook
Benford, who was a sixth-round pick in 2022, took a big step forward in his second year in Buffalo. This coming season, the Villanova product - who recorded 54 tackles, two forced fumbles, two interceptions and 10 passes defended in 2023 - is projected to start at cornerback opposite Rasul Douglas. In that context, Benford looks like a young player on the rise who could provide sleeper value in IDP leagues. Read Past Outlooks
Tallies interception in TNF win
Benford racked up seven tackles (six solo) and one interception during Thursday's 31-10 win over the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Benford is flying under the radar as one of the best zone-coverage cornerbacks in the league, and his pairing with Rasul Douglas allowed the Bills to limit Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to 65 combined receiving yards Thursday. The 2022 sixth-round pick's tackle totals won't always be so high, but he'll have another favorable matchup on deck Week 3 versus Jacksonville.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sitting out divisional-round game
Benford has been ruled out for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Chiefs due to a knee injury, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Benford's absence is one of several injury-related issues the Bills defense is dealing with going into the matchup against a quarterback in Patrick Mahomes who has bedeviled them in the postseason thus far in his career. In addition to being without Benford, who recorded 54 tackles, two interceptions, eight additional defensed passes and two forced fumbles across 15 regular-season games, Buffalo will also be managing the absence of key reserve safety Taylor Rapp due to a calf injury and has listed the cornerback duo of Taron Johnson and Rasul Douglas as questionable due to a concussion and a knee injury, respectively.
