Tre'Davious White Fantasy

The Buffalo Bills gave All-Pro cornerback Tre'Davious White a four-year, $70 million contract extension on Saturday, including $55 million guaranteed, according to a source. The total value of the deal is $82.1 million. White is still only 25 years old and could hit the market again soon. White's $55 million in guaranteed money is the highest guarantee ever given to a cornerback, and his new-money average is also the highest at his position. The 27-year-old first-round pick was considering opting out of the 2020 season because of COVID-19, but Buffalo has to be happy that he'll be shutting down opposing No. 1 receivers again this year. He has 12 interceptions and 43 passes defensed in his three seasons with Buffalo, but the elite cornerback is often avoided by opposing cornerbacks, so he's not the most attractive IDP weapon at defensive back.

Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White has become one of the league's best cover corners after being taken in the first round in 2017. He faced 84 targets last season and had six interceptions, 17 passes defensed, allowed a passer rating of (38.9) and a catch rate allowed below expectation (minus-8.4 percent). White had a tight-window percentage of 28.6 despite playing press coverage on opposing wideouts at a low rate. His ballhawk rate of 20.2 percent is close to that of Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore, who came in at No. 1 on NFL.com's Nick Shook's top-10 coverage men in 2019. Like Gilmore, White isn't much of an IDP star because QBs often avoid him, but Buffalo's defense overall should be seen as a top-five fantasy unit.

The Buffalo Bills have decided to exercise the fifth-year option on defensive back Tre'Davious White. White is entering his fourth year on his rookie contract. However, the Bills wanted to get ahead of things and lock up White for the 2021 season. This is a short term solution for both sides, but White is due for a big pay day. Last season White led the NFL in passer rating allowed in coverage. He also finished with six interceptions, which earned him First-Team All-Pro honors last season. The Bills have their superstar corner locked up for at least two more seasons.
