Rapp provides starting-level depth for Buffalo but his role is not guaranteed to be the same as prior seasons; Peppers could alter the dynamic of the back end, with Rapp possibly rotating into more defined sub-packages or staying as a steady presence depending on Peppers’ addition.

Rapp is a proven starter but not among the elite safeties. In a Peppers scenario, his floor remains solid, but his ceiling could be limited by Peppers’ added playmaking and by the team shifting Hamlin to a reserve role if Peppers lands. Rapp offers a safe fantasy floor with slightly reduced upside if Peppers steps in.

Rapp, a veteran presence, will pair with Bishop as a starter-like option while Poyer refuels depth. His seasoned role in Buffalo’s secondary could carry early-season value as the unit grows more cohesive behind Hyde and Poyer.

Rapp returns as a veteran safety in Buffalo’s group, offering consistency and a steady hand behind the top duo. His role provides floor in coverage and run defense while Hancock and Bishop develop.

Rapp re-signed to anchor the Bills’ safety duo alongside a still-developing Bishop. His familiarity with Buffalo’s schemes and leadership is viewed as essential to stabilizing the back end as the Bills rebuild the safety corps after Poyer/Hyde.
