2026 Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Bills in March of 2026.
Back with Bills
Buffalo re-signed Hamlin (pectoral) on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Hamlin appears to be fully recovered from the pectoral injury that caused him to miss the final 13 games of the 2025 campaign, as he practiced in full and was a candidate to return from IR in advance of the Bills' loss to the Broncos in the divisional round. Across five regular-season appearances last year, Hamlin handled just five defensive snaps. The soon-to-be 29-year-old looks primed to handle a similar reserve role during the 2026 campaign.

2024
Returning to Buffalo on a one-year contract positions Hamlin to reprise a starting role at safety in 2025. He played essentially an every-down role on defense across 14 regular-season appearances in 2024, tallying 89 tackles (62 solo), five pass breakups (including two INTs) and one forced fumble. The Bills typically deploy Taylor Rapp in the box, with Hamlin focusing more on coverage, but Buffalo's defensive scheme allows opposing running backs to get through the first line of defense at a somewhat inflated rate, so both safeties possess a high tackling floor.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Back with Bills
Hamlin re-signed with the Bills on a one-year contract Friday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran safety made only five regular-season appearances in 2025 before suffering a season-ending pectoral injury. Hamlin is likely to return to a reserve role after having started 14 games back in the 2024 season, as Buffalo added veteran safeties C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Geno Stone in free agency this offseason.
