Jefferson's first two years in Baltimore haven't quite lived up to the standard he set in his final year in Arizona when he racked up 96 tackles and established himself as one of the top box safeties in the league. He's gone for 79 and 74 tackles over the last two years, respectively, appearing in 30 of a possible 32 games. Jefferson has a new compatriot in the defensive backfield in Earl Thomas, who is replacing Eric Weddle. Thomas is younger and more athletic than Weddle, which will allow him to play a more rangy, center field brand of free safety and free up Jefferson to hunt the ball carrier in the box. Jefferson figures to be a fringe top-30 defensive back in IDP formats who relies on racking up tackles more than creating turnovers to bolster his value.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Officially ends retirement
Jefferson, who was out of the NFL in 2023, ended his retirement Friday by agreeing to a one-year deal with the Chargers, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jefferson was still involved with the NFL last season, working as a scouting department intern with the Ravens following a May 2023 retirement announcement. The identity of the team that's coaxed the veteran safety out of retirement isn't entirely surprising -- current Los Angeles general manager Joe Hortiz was the Ravens' director of player personnel during Jefferson's internship in Baltimore, and current Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter was Jefferson's defensive backs coach with the Ravens from 2017-19.
