Jabrill Peppers, the New England Patriots' safety, is preparing for his ninth NFL season, facing challenges after what was arguably his toughest year in 2024. Drafted in the first round by the Cleveland Browns in 2017, Peppers has since played significant seasons with the New York Giants and has now entered his fourth year with the Patriots. When healthy, he has proven to be a vital leader on the defense, consistently averaging over 73 tackles and an interception in seasons where he plays at least 11 games.

As one of the six team captains, Peppers is expected to play a pivotal role in the Patriots' defensive strategy moving forward. With his experience and proven performance, he remains a key player to monitor for fantasy leagues, particularly if he can shake off the injuries that plagued his last season.
