2025 Fantasy Outlook
McDuffie hasn't missed a regular-season game in two years and followed up his All-Pro campaign in 2023 with second-team All-Pro honors in 2024. Having transformed into one of the league's better No. 1 cornerbacks under Steve Spagnuolo, the Chiefs' decision to pick up McDuffie's fifth-year option and extend his rookie deal through 2026 comes as no surprise. Another solid showing in 2025 will essentially guarantee McDuffie a massive second contract, providing extra motivation beyond Kansas City's usual Super Bowl aspirations. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Entering just the third year of his rookie deal with the Chiefs, McDuffie starred in his second campaign in Kansas City, racking up 80 tackles (60 solo), three sacks and five forced fumbles en route to first-team All-Pro honors. He heads into 2024 locked into a starting role, and the departure of L'Jarius Sneed places McDuffie at the head of the Chiefs' cornerback class, which could mean he'll face the opposing team's best pass catchers more often this season.
McDuffie finished his rookie season with 44 total tackles, a sack and a forced fumble across 11 games in 2022. The 22-year-old landed on injured reserve for part of last season with a hamstring injury, but the cornerback appears to be healthy and ready to fill a starting spot in the Chiefs' defensive backfield for the 2023 campaign.
In a league increasingly trending toward the passing attack, cornerbacks have become much more valuable. McDuffie was the third cornerback off the board in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft behind Derek Stingley and Sauce Gardner and will infuse additional talent into a secondary that finished sixth-worst in the league in passing yards allowed per game (251.4) last season. He should be a candidate to hold down a starting spot out of the gate. McDuffie wasn't exactly a takeaway machine in college, recording just two career interceptions, but he tallied 35 tackles last season, proving his willingness to help out against the run.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extension talks on hold
CBKansas City Chiefs
September 1, 2025
McDuffie isn't expected to sign a contract extension with Kansas City before the start of the season, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The two sides have been engaged in talks as McDuffie prepares to play on the fourth year of his rookie contract in 2025, but with Sauce Gardner and Derek Stingley having radically shifted the top of the cornerback market this offseason, reaching an agreement became difficult. Kansas City already exercised the fifth-year option on McDuffie's deal, so he's under team control through at least 2026. The 2022 first-round pick set a career high with 13 passes defended over 16 regular-season games last season, including his first two NFL interceptions, while emerging as one of the top press-man CBs in the league.
