Hamlin recorded 10 total tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins. Hamlin was one of three Bills to finish with double-digit stops in Sunday's win, tying Taylor Rapp for the team's second-leading tackler. The fourth-year pro has now accumulated 57 total tackles and five passes defended, including two interceptions, through Buffalo's first nine games. Expect the Bills' top safety duo of Hamlin and Rapp to continue causing problems for opposing offenses as the season progresses.
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 recorded nine tackles (seven solo) in the Bills' loss to the Texans on Sunday. Hamlin played 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the fourth time in five games to open the season and looks locked into a starting job with his strong play. On the year, Hamlin has 31 tackles (22 solo), including two TFLs, and three pass breakups, including one interception.
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.
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that Hamlin is considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. The fourth-year safety could end up missing the Bills' regular-season opener Sep. 8 due to his new hamstring injury. Hamlin is expected to start opposite of Taylor Rapp in Buffalo's secondary in 2024 after recording 91 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and two passes defended across 15 regular-season games in 2022. With Hamlin sidelined for the immediate future, expect Cole Bishop (shoulder) to see more reps with the Bills' first-team defense.
