2024 Fantasy Outlook
Since stepping foot on an NFL field for the first time in 2021, Winfield has emerged as one of the most well-rounded safeties in the league. He took another step forward in 2023, tallying career-high marks in tackles, sacks, passes defensed, interceptions and both forced and recovered fumbles. His sacks in particular look to be sustainable, as he found himself playing in the box at the highest rate of his career last season. This offseason, Winfield landed a four-year, $84.1 million contract in the offseason - the highest figure ever for a defensive player. Needless to say, he'll be the leader of the Buccaneers defense for the foreseeable future. The only thing that has slowed Winfield down to this point in his career is injuries, as he was limited to 13 games in both 2021 and 2022. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
Winfield remains an enticing fantasy option after the biggest names at DB are off the board. The Minnesota product has missed four games to injury each of the last two seasons, but when he's on the field his production has been excellent. His tackle rate in 2022, translated to 1,000 snaps, would have put him in triple digits, and he added a career-high four sacks to his ledger. Those sacks may not be repeatable as he transitions back to free safety, but coach Todd Bowles seems to value his versatility, and Tampa Bay doesn't have a lot of talent at safety to challenge his workload.
Winfield has already been a good IDP in both of his first two NFL seasons, producing a 1,000- snap rate of 97 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions, and there’s hope that he might get better yet in his age-24 season. More specifically, it wouldn’t surprise if Winfield went on an interception spree soon, especially with Tom Brady back to keep Tampa Bay in the lead and opponents throwing.
Although his per-snap tackle rate wasn't high at a glance, Winfield was effective as a rookie starter and clearly possesses unique upside, certainly on the real field. It's impressive that Winfield earned a three-down role immediately as a second-round pick, and more impressive yet that he did so on one of the league's best defenses. Winfield probably would have blazed well past 100 tackles on most other defenses. The Tampa Bay defense remains strong and Winfield probably won't get to pad his stats quite yet, but he'll likely be one of the league's best defenders for a long time.
The Buccaneers hope Winfield, a 2020 second-round pick, is the answer to some of the back-end problems that have plagued their secondary under multiple coaches and coordinators in recent seasons. The former Golden Gopher couldn't kick his college career into high gear until his senior season, as injuries curtailed both his sophomore and junior campaigns after four games each. Winfield made up for it in 2019 by logging a full 13 games and nabbing seven interceptions, including one pick-six. That type of playmaking ability should give him the inside track to the starting strong safety job right from the onset, especially considering the lack of turnovers and impact defensive plays overall that once again defined the Buccaneers defense in 2019.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could reset safety market
STampa Bay Buccaneers
March 3, 2024
Winfield could reset the market as the highest-paid safety in the NFL if he and the Buccaneers agree to a contract extension, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Winfield is likely to receive the franchise tag by Tuesday, but he and the team continue to negotiate a contract extension in the meantime. After a stellar 2023 season in which he had 122 tackles, 6.0 sacks, six forced fumbles and three interceptions, Winfield would likely surpass Derwin James' $19 million annual salary if the former signs an extension with the Buccaneers.
