Bishop stands as Buffalo’s marquee safety investment, a rookie with high ceiling entering a youth-forward Bills backfield. His development will influence the safety rotation, potentially keeping him on the field in multiple packages as Buffalo balances youth with a veteran core.

Bishop secures the starting safety spot, aligning with the Bills’ plan to lean on a youthful back end. His rise cements a post-Hamlin safety rotation and offers fantasy managers a potential lines-up boost in coverage-heavy packages, especially in week-to-week matchup planning against Baltimore.
