24-Year-Old CornerbackCB
Buffalo Bills
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
$Signed a four-year, $3.85 million contract with the Bills in May of 2022.
Practices in full Wednesday

November 6, 2024
Benford (wrist) was estimated as a full participant for Buffalo's walk-through practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Benford sat out of Sunday's game versus the Dolphins with a wrist injury, but Wednesday's injury report bodes well for his chances of suiting up in Week 10. If he can practice in full Thursday or Friday, he'll probably be able to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sitting out divisional-round game
CBBuffalo Bills
January 19, 2024
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.
