2025 Fantasy Outlook
McDuffie hasn't missed a regular-season game in two years and followed up his All-Pro campaign in 2023 with second-team All-Pro honors in 2024. Having transformed into one of the league's better No. 1 cornerbacks under Steve Spagnuolo, the Chiefs' decision to pick up McDuffie's fifth-year option and extend his rookie deal through 2026 comes as no surprise. Another solid showing in 2025 will essentially guarantee McDuffie a massive second contract, providing extra motivation beyond Kansas City's usual Super Bowl aspirations. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $13.99 million contract with the Chiefs in May of 2022.
Moved to IR
The Chiefs moved McDuffie (knee) to injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
McDuffie has been struggling with a knee issue that caused him to miss consecutive games, and the Chiefs have decided to shut the former All-Pro down for the year. Officially out of playoff contention, the team likely does not want to risk further injury to one of its best players by rushing him back for relatively low-leverage games. McDuffie will end the 2025 season with 63 tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and seven passes defensed for one interception through 13 games.

2022
Entering just the third year of his rookie deal with the Chiefs, McDuffie starred in his second campaign in Kansas City, racking up 80 tackles (60 solo), three sacks and five forced fumbles en route to first-team All-Pro honors. He heads into 2024 locked into a starting role, and the departure of L'Jarius Sneed places McDuffie at the head of the Chiefs' cornerback class, which could mean he'll face the opposing team's best pass catchers more often this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extension talks on hold
McDuffie isn't expected to sign a contract extension with Kansas City before the start of the season, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The two sides have been engaged in talks as McDuffie prepares to play on the fourth year of his rookie contract in 2025, but with Sauce Gardner and Derek Stingley having radically shifted the top of the cornerback market this offseason, reaching an agreement became difficult. Kansas City already exercised the fifth-year option on McDuffie's deal, so he's under team control through at least 2026. The 2022 first-round pick set a career high with 13 passes defended over 16 regular-season games last season, including his first two NFL interceptions, while emerging as one of the top press-man CBs in the league.
