Hamlin recorded five total tackles (three solo) and defended one pass in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans. Hamlin is now the second-leading tackler on the Bills' defense through the team's first seven games with 43 total stops. The Pittsburgh product also leads Buffalo in passes defended (five) and is tied for the lead in interceptions (two) with Ja'Marcus Ingram. Expect Hamlin to continue building on an impressive start to his 2024 campaign as the Bills travel to Seattle in Week 8.

Hamlin tallied five tackles (three solo), two passes defended and one interception in Monday's 47-10 win over Jacksonville. Hamlin recorded the first interception of his career Monday, as he picked off a Trevor Lawrence pass intended for Brian Thomas in the second quarter, which led to a 27-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen to Khalil Shakir five plays later. Even in a blowout, Hamlin managed to play 100 percent of the Bills' defensive snaps for the second time this year. Through three games this season, the 2021 sixth-round pick has accrued 19 tackles (13 solo), two passes defended and one interception.

Hamlin tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) during Thursday's 31-10 win over Miami. Hamlin played 92 percent of Buffalo's defensive snaps during Thursday's divisional win after handling 100 percent of snaps Week 1. The 26-year-old is solidified as an every-down starter in Buffalo's secondary, though his tackle totals won't always be boosted by such a run-heavy offense as the Dolphins fielded to close out Thursday's game. Hamlin will be on the fantasy radar in deeper IDP formats heading into a Week 3 matchup against Jacksonville.

Hamlin (hamstring) will be the Bills' starter at free safety Sunday against the Cardinals, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Hamlin being announced as the starter should confirm the hamstring injury that sidelined him for part of camp is no longer a concern. The 26-year-old appeared in five regular-season games last season, mostly seeing work on special teams and playing only 16 snaps on defense. However, he did play a much larger role in 2022, recording 91 combined tackles on the season, before suffering cardiac arrest during a game against the Bengals.

Hamlin is on the active roster for Sunday's home matchup against Tennessee. Hamlin has yet to play a snap in the NFL since last season's near-tragic cardiac incident that caused the postponement of a game and put his playing future in jeopardy. He's since been cleared to practice and play in full, and he will now get his chance to once again see live game action. This is partially due to team need for depth in the secondary, as fellow safety Jordan Poyer (knee) is inactive for the contest. Hamlin was a meaningful contributor during his rookie season in 2022 prior to the incident, and at one point had three consecutive games with double-digit tackles, so the potential is there for him to become a fantasy contributor, even if it's only in the short term.
