2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rapp is heading into a third consecutive season as a starting safety for Buffalo, and his second straight year working alongside Damar Hamlin. The 2019 second-round pick generally handled an every-down role across his 14 regular-season appearances in 2024, though injuries occasionally limited his snap count (and caused him to miss three games). He produced consistently, with 82 tackles (48 solo), six passes defensed (including two interceptions) and one forced fumble. Due to the Bills' defensive alignment, both Rapp and Hamlin can be counted on for a reliable floor in terms of tackling. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $14.5 million contract with the Bills in March of 2024.
Out one week
Rapp (knee) will be sidelined for about a week, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Rapp missed practice last Sunday with a knee issue before returning to the field week, where head coach Sean McDermott said he aggravated the injury. The 27-year-old has plenty of recent injury history, as he dealt with back, concussion and neck problems last season that resulted in three missed games. It seems like the Bills are being cautious with Rapp, but they are now down both of their projected starting safeties heading into Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants since Cole Bishop is already ruled out with a quad injury.

Buffalo had an offseason of turnover in their secondary, with Micah Hyde entering free agency and potentially retiring while Jordan Poyer landed with the division-rival Dolphins. That will give Rapp the chance to step into a starting role in his second year with Buffalo after serving as a reserve in 2023 with a significant role on special teams. That isn't to say he doesn't boast plenty of experience on a defensive unit, as he served as a regular starter for much of his four-year tenure with the Rams. That sample tells us that Rapp has the skills to be a ball-hawking safety - he has multiple picks in three of his five seasons - that also racks up a lot of tackles. Given his limited role in his first year with the Bills, his full potential in 2024 may be overlooked.
