Tremaine Edmunds Fantasy

Buffalo Bills linebacker Tremaine Edmunds is emerging as one of the defensive leaders to help replace Lorenzo Alexander and Kyle Williams, who have moved on in recent seasons. "Well the first guy that comes to mind is just seeing Tremaine's development in this offseason," defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said. "This virtual offseason. Just the way he has been kind of bringing players together and talking with them, calling them, reaching out to them, going past his own position, the linebackers position." Edmunds just turned 22 years old and had 115 tackles -- his second 110-plus tackle season in as many years -- and nine passes defensed. Buffalo's defense/special teams is a unit on the rise and should be targeted as a top-five fantasy commodity, while Edmunds is also a fringe starter at linebacker in IDP leagues.

Buffalo Bills sensational rookie linebacker Tremaine Edmunds missed Wednesday's practice, as he is in the league's concussion protocol. Edmunds left Monday night's game prior to halftime, shortly after hitting helmets with Patriots fullback James Develin. Before leaving the game, the 20-year-old middle linebacker recorded eight tackles (six solo), marking the fourth contest that he has reached that many combined tackles. He has registered six or more tackles in each game this season. Veteran Julian Stanford will likely replace the former Virginia Tech star in the starting lineup if he is unable to go. If Edmunds does play against the Bears in Week 9, he is certainly an IDP target for fantasy players, as he is a three-down player who is averaging 13.5 points a game.

The Buffalo Bills traded up to select Virginia Tech linebacker Tremaine Edmunds at No. 16 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. He has a rare combination of size and speed for a linebacker, so he's certainly a specimen. He also has nice versatility for his size, and he can rush the passer or play in space in coverage. He needs to work on his tackling in the backfield and at the line of scrimmage, however. Edmunds will turn 20 years old next week but he has a high ceiling at the next level.
