26-Year-Old CornerbackCB
Dallas Cowboys
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bland didn't get a chance to build on a dazzling 2023 season that saw him turn five of his nine interceptions into pick-sixes, an NFL record, as a stress fracture in his foot cost him the first 11 weeks of 2024. He didn't pick off a single pass in the seven games he did manage to play, but a healthy offseason should get him back on track. Bland will be leaned on heavily in a secondary that could be missing fellow ballhawk Trevon Diggs, as well as rookie Shavon Revel, at cornerback for Week 1. Read Past Outlooks

Signed a four-year, $3.96 million contract with the Cowboys in May of 2022. Agreed to a four-year, $92 million contract extension in August of 2025.
Makes seven stops Sunday

October 7, 2025
Bland recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 37-22 win against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Bland played a season-high 70 defensive snaps in Week 5, which led to him posting his highest tackle total of the campaign so far. Big tackle numbers aren't normally a big part of his game though, keeping him from being an IDP consideration in most formats going into a Week 6 contest at Carolina.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A knee injury suffered by Trevon Diggs in Week 2 last season opened the door for another member of the Cowboys secondary to step up, and Bland seized the opportunity. The 2022 fifth-round pick set a new NFL record by returning five interceptions for touchdowns in a season that saw him pick off nine passes in total and produce 15 passes defended along with 69 tackles. Aggressive defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has been replaced by Mike Zimmer, which could rein in the ball-hawking tendencies of both Bland and Diggs, but the duo still give Dallas an elite pair of starting cornerbacks.
A fifth-round pick out of Fresno State in 2022, Bland got his first action on defense Week 4 against the Commanders and promptly picked off a Carson Wentz pass. Bland became a full-time starter by Week 11 and kept up the ball hawking, nabbing four interceptions in a four-game stretch in the second half. The 24-year-old likely will handle slot duties this season following the offseason addition of Stephon Gilmore, giving the Dallas defense three strong options at cornerback along with Trevon Diggs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looking at multi-game absence
CBDallas Cowboys
September 10, 2025
Bland could miss multiple games due to a right foot injury he suffered in Monday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bland missed Wednesday's practice, and Archer notes this injury is unrelated to a stress fracture in Bland's left foot that he dealt with in 2024 and ultimately required surgery. Bland, who just signed a four-year, $92 million extension before the season, was the best full-time Cowboys cornerback in Week 1 against the Eagles, considering Trevon Diggs played just 27 snaps in his first taste of game action since January knee surgery.
