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.

Cleared to play Week 13
Hairston (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Hairston was concussed in last Thursday night's loss to the Texans, but the added rest allowed him to clear the concussion protocol. The first-round rookie cornerback has appeared in five games this season, producing three tackles (two solo) and three pass breakups, including a pair of interceptions, across 175 defensive snaps.

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.
