Benford’s heavy-hitting tackle and coverage efforts provide a tangible fantasy-leaning safety valve for Buffalo’s defense. His presence helps limit big plays and could yield opportunistic turnovers, supporting IDP upside and defensive scoring in fantasy formats.

Benford anchors Buffalo’s coverage against a Jets offense loaded with weapons; his performance will influence Buffalo’s ability to limit explosive plays.

Benford remains the outside starter, with the CB2 competition shaped by White’s ramp and Strong’s early flashes. White’s return could keep Benford steady as the primary outside option, while the rotation grows more nuanced behind him.

Benford’s postgame reaction to Hopkins’ one-handed TD was blunt and serious, hinting at potential bulletin-board material if the teams meet again. He also drew attention for a tug on Rashod Bateman that wasn’t called, signaling a feisty Bills defense that can challenge Baltimore’s receivers.

Benford’s groin is listed as questionable; if he suits up, he anchors Bills’ outside coverage as part of a banged-up unit. If he sits, the corner trio thins, potentially boosting Ravens’ passing options and Bills’ willingness to adjust coverage schemes.
