2022 Fantasy Outlook
Gilmore missed 14 games over the past two seasons, but he's also just three years removed from a Defensive Player of the Year award (2019, with New England). The Patriots traded the 31-year-old to Carolina last fall while he was recovering from quad surgery, and he played eight games for the Panthers (three starts, two INTs) before missing the final two weeks with a groin injury and COVID-19. The Colts saw enough in the limited action to believe Gilmore can still be a high-quality starter, joining Kenny Moore to give the team a second playmaker at cornerback. Read Past Outlooks

The Colts are in line to trade Gilmore (wrist) to the Cowboys for a 2023 fifth-round compensatory pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Gilmore -- who should be past the wrist injury that sidelined him in Week 18 last season -- is no longer the shutdown corner he was a few years ago, he's still excellent in coverage. He should immediately step in as a starter across from Trevon Diggs, giving the Cowboys an excellent pair of outside corners. Gilmore will benefit from the pressure that Micah Parsons and the Dallas defense can put on opposing quarterbacks, as it should lower the amount of time he's in coverage. That level of pressure is a luxury Gilmore didn't have in 2022 while playing with the Colts.

The 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Gilmore saw his numbers fall last season, as the cornerback, who turns 31 in September, logged 37 tackles and one interception in 11 games. There were then trade rumors in the offseason, and he's now set to miss at least the first six games of 2021, after being placed on the PUP list due to a groin injury. Gilmore could rejoin the Patriots in October, or he might be traded around that same time.
Gilmore is coming off a 2019 campaign in which he logged 49 tackles and a career-high six picks. In the process, the 29-year-old was named AP Defensive Player of the Year. While Gilmore's value to the Patriots as a shut-down option is obvious, his IDP utility hinges on his luck in the ball-hawking department. A regression in that category is plausible in 2020, and in such a context Gilmore would fall into the category of players whose value in real terms doesn't necessarily translate to fantasy.
Expectations were high after Gilmore signed a five-year, $65 million contract with the Patriots last year, but the 27-year-old endured a rough start to his 2017 campaign. His play improved as the season rolled along, however, and the 27-year-old is poised to remain a mainstay in the New England secondary for the foreseeable future. On the heels of a season in which he notched 50 tackles and two interceptions in 13 games, Gilmore is a solid but not spectacular IDP option heading into the 2018 campaign.
Gilmore, who landed a five-year, $65 million contract with the Patriots that includes $40 million in guaranteed money, was widely viewed as the top cornerback on the free-agent market this offseason. The 6-1, 190-pounder, who the Bills selected 10th overall in the 2012 NFL Draft, is coming off a 2016 campaign in which he recorded five picks and 48 tackles in 15 games, en route to earning his first Pro Bowl nod. He's slated to start at right cornerback for the Patriots opposite Malcolm Butler.
Gilmore is considered one of the best cornerbacks in the league when healthy, but staying healthy has been his problem considering he has missed 11 games during the past three seasons due to injury. That being said, Gilmore enters camp in 2016 with a clean bill of health, and if he is able to stay healthy, should become a very nice IDP option this season.
Gilmore is a talented corner and one of the leaders of the Bills' secondary. As one of the more unheralded stars in the league he is a possible value pick in deep IDP drafts.
After being a high draft pick and having a strong rookie season, Gilmore took a step back in 2013. Now entering his third season, Gilmore is still entrenched as a starter and will have a chance to prove that he should be considered a top corner in the league. He has all of the talent, tools, and opportunity for a breakout season... he just has to put it all together.
Gilmore established himself as the Bills' top corner as a rookie last season, recording 61 tackles (52 solo), 16 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and one interception.
The No. 10 pick in the 2012 draft, the rookie will have a legitimate chance to start in his first season. The two starting CB spots are thought to be between Gilmore, Aaron Williams, Terrence McGee, and Leodis McKelvin, though the first two are thought to be the early favorites. Gilmore isn't incredibly quick and doesn't have speedy hips, but his size and straightaway speed rate really high and he plays a physical game the Bills should be able to utilize for years.
