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

December 6, 2024
Edwards (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Las Vegas, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Edwards will be sidelined for Sunday's game due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain that he suffered in the Bucs' Week 13 overtime win over the Panthers. With Edwards sidelined, Christian Izien will likely be the Bucs' starting strong safety Sunday while Kaevon Merriweather serves in a rotational role.

2024 Buffalo Bills Preview: Roster Moves, Depth Chart, Schedule, Storylines and More
139 days ago
Employing Josh Allen keeps the Bills in the mix at the top of the AFC, but the quarterback and company have yet to get past Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. It's Super Bowl or bust again in Buffalo in 2024.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2019
Edwards signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs this offseason after spending the first four years of his career in Tampa Bay. The veteran had a strong season in 2022, recording a career-high 82 tackles, a sack, three pass deflections and two interceptions over 13 games. Edwards figures to be a key depth piece at safety for the 2023 campaign.
A third-round pick out of Kentucky, Edwards brings versatility to the Buccaneers secondary. The rookie is capable of playing either corner or safety, and his impressive college resume speaks to his all-around skill set. Edwards finished his four-year Wildcats career with 317 tackles (190 solo and 21 for loss), 10 interceptions (including two pick-sixes), 23 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Edwards clearly has the potential to compile impressive IDP numbers in a full-time role, but that opportunity isn't likely to be within reach to open his first season unless projected starting strong safety Justin Evans remains hampered by the toe injury that shortened his 2018 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Competing for job against rookie
SBuffalo Bills
June 30, 2024
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.
