2025 Fantasy Outlook
Buffalo's decision to draft Hairston at No. 30 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft provides the team with some much-needed speed at outside cornerback, though the rookie's light 5-foot-11, 183-pound frame could cause him some issues tackling at the NFL level. Still, a 4.28 40-yard dash paints the picture of Harrison as a cornerback capable of thriving in man coverage downfield, a skill set desperately needed for a Bills team hoping to emerge victorious in the AFC.

Signed a four-year contract with the Bills in June of 2025.
Off crutches
Coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that Hairston (knee) is off crutches, and the team has had no discussions about him starting the regular season on injured reserve, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hairston went down with a noncontact knee injury in practice July 29, but he avoided a major injury and was diagnosed with a sprained LCL in his right knee. It sounds like the Bills expect their first-round rookie to be available to play in September, as a trip to injured reserve would cost Hairston at least the first four regular-season contests.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
IR in consideration
Hairston could begin the season on injured reserve due to the knee injury he suffered July 29, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hairston avoided the worst-case scenario when he went down with a noncontact injury, but he just shed crutches Tuesday. It could still take considerable time for him to return to the practice field, causing coach Sean McDermott to acknowledge that injured reserve is a possibility. If Hairston does land on injured reserve, he'd be forced to miss at least the first four games of the season, and his absence would be a big blow to the Buffalo secondary.
