Terrence McGee

A nerve problem in McGee's leg really bothered him all season and limited him to just nine games and four starts in 2010. With a full offseason to recover, he's primed to start again at cornerback for the Bills, who should have a deep and talented cornerback crew after re-signing Drayton Florence. McGee can rack up a lot of tackles for a cornerback when he's healthy and also get you the occasional pick, so he's worth monitoring if your league makes you choose CB's. His days as a regular return man are probably gone, however.

McGee, coming off offseason shoulder surgery, is close to 100 percent and is hopeful that he will be unlimited in his activity this season. McGee is a pretty good asset if your league makes you use cornerbacks -- he's usually good for about five tackles a game and two or three picks per season -- but it's also worth noting he's rarely used in the return game any more, mostly because he's too valuable to the defense and because he's usually battling a nagging injury.

McGee is a good IDP guy if your league makes you use cornerbacks because he's such a good tackler. He finished the 2008 season with 66 total tackles, 18 passes defensed and three interceptions in 14 games, and has 384 total tackles over his last five seasons. His value used to be a bit higher because he was such a good return man, but the Bills will use him less there in 2009 -- if at all -- because he's too valuable a cornerback and Leodis McKelvin is just as good a returner. McGee should be good for his usual 60-80 tackles, 15-20 passes defensed and 2-4 interceptions. He'll return as the No. 1 corner for the Bills.

McGee tied his career high with four interceptions in 2007 (rebounding from zero in 2006) and chipped in 77 tackles, his highest total since 2004. He's probably at or near his physical peak – McGee turns 28 in October – but needs to stay healthy for all 16 games – he's averaged two missed games per season over the last four years. McGee's usually good for 70-80 tackles and three or four interceptions, though he could easily be in the 80-90-tackle range if he doesn't miss any time. McGee is an elite speedster and returns kickoffs very well (one for a touchdown in 2007), which gives him a boost in some formats. He'll have that job again with rookie Leodis McKelvin spelling him some.

McGee becomes the No. 1 corner this year with the departure of Nate Clements. McGee had 77 tackles last year but failed to record an interception after averaging three per year over his first three seasons. McGee will also come into camp as the Bills' main kick return man again. McGee averaged over 26 yards per return last year, good for sixth in the league, but failed to return one for a score after having four return touchdowns over the past two years. The Bills may let Josh Scobey handle some of the return duties as McGee will be focused on shutting down the opposition's top receiver. Expect strong IDP numbers from McGee, and expect him to return to being more active and notch a few picks and a touchdown or two. The only worry is if opponents pick on Buffalo's weaker starting corner so much that McGee loses a few tackles.

If your league makes you draft cornerbacks, McGee is a great pick after the stars are gone, partly because of his return skills. He's returned four kickoffs for scores the last two seasons, and averaged a whopping 30.2 yards per kickoff return in 2005. Defensively, he's got ball-hawking skills as well, with nine interceptions over his three-year NFL career. He also put up 72 total tackles last season. He's as fast as most of the league's best, and is young enough that he should be able to sustain this production for a few more seasons.

The Bills have decided to use veteran Troy Vincent at free safety now that he's back from a knee injury, meaning the promising McGee will continue to start at cornerback opposite Nate Clements. If your league makes you use corners, McGee isn't a bad play because of his fine return skills. He returned three kickoffs for touchdowns in 2004, and also made 92 tackles, two sacks and three interceptions. On defense, he gets the ball thrown his way pretty often because he's the greenest member of the secondary, yet he has the playmaking skills to yield some IDP value with all that action.

McGee was a nice surprise in 2003, working his way into the No. 3 cornerback spot after being a fourth-round pick in the April draft. He makes the Bills secondary deeper, but behind Nate Clemets and Troy Vincent he won't have much value in his own right.
