2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hamlin, who survived an on-field cardiac arrest back in January 2023, saw action in just five regular-season games last season, but his now that he's further removed from his frightening medical incident, the 2021 sixth-rounder is a candidate to see an expanded role in 2024. As the coming season approaches, Hamlin is penciled in as a starting safety for the Bills alongside Taylor Rapp. Read Past Outlooks
Leads team in tackles Thursday
Hamlin tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) during Thursday's 31-10 win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Hamlin played 92 percent of Buffalo's defensive snaps during Thursday's divisional win after handling 100 percent of snaps Week 1. The 26-year-old is solidified as an every-down starter in Buffalo's secondary, though his tackle totals won't always be boosted by such a run-heavy offense as the Dolphins fielded to close out Thursday's game. Hamlin will be on the fantasy radar in deeper IDP formats heading into a Week 3 matchup against Jacksonville.
