2024 Fantasy Outlook
At this point in his career Edwards is a proven commodity and a solid contributor from the free safety position. A third-round pick by Tampa Bay in 2019, Edwards played out his four-year rookie contract with the Bucs, while seeing a notable uptick in productivity (82 tackles in just 13 games) in Year 4. Following his lone season in Kansas City, Edwards will now have a chance to become a key cog in Buffalo's re-tooled safety corps. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Headed to Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers claimed Edwards off waivers Thursday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards will be with his third team in two weeks after being waived by the Bills and Titans on Nov. 5 and Wednesday, respectively. This time, Edwards is headed to a familiar environment, having been selected by the Buccaneers in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft and playing a part in Tampa Bay's Super Bowl LV win following the 2020 regular season. Edwards will bolster a Bucs secondary that is dealing with injuries to Zyon McCollum (hamstring) and Tykee Smith (knee).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Competing for job against rookie
Eric Edholm of NFL.com views 2024 second-round pick Cole Bishop as Buffalo's potential starter at free safety over Edwards.
ANALYSIS
Edwards signed a one-year contract with the Bills in hopes of returning to a starting role after playing a part-time role in Kansas City's championship-winning secondary last season. Bishop is challenging Edwards for the free safety spot next to starting strong safety Taylor Rapp, and Edwards' bid to impress his new team's coaching staff has been hampered by a shoulder injury, which kept the veteran safety out of OTAs and limited his participation during minicamp.
