Time to shine With teammate Dane Jackson being ruled out for Week 3 due to a neck injury, Elam is expected to have a major role in this week's road game at Miami.

Impact Elam has already been co-starting with fellow rookie Christian Benford, seeing 45 percent of the snaps in the opener and 63 percent of the snaps in Week 2. Expect that number to spike even higher in Week 3, and he could be a decent candidate for tackles in fantasy leagues that use the corner spot, especially with the way the Dolphins have been passing the ball in early action.

Competing for starting job Elam, drafted 23rd overall in April, is expected to compete for a starting spot opposite Tre'Davious White, Dante Lasting of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The open spot seems to be up for grabs between Elam and veterans Siran Neal and Dane Jackson. Neal may be more valuable in a more all-around role due to his versatility, and if that comes into fruition, then Elam would simply have to beat out Jackson for the starting job. Elam has upside and recent draft capital in his favor, so winning the starting gig may come down to his ability to catch on with the pro game. Jackson has familiarity in Leslie Frazier's defense and spent some time as a starter last season after White went down with a knee injury.

MAY 2, 2022

Buffalo's target at 23 The Bills selected Elam in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 23rd overall.

Impact Buffalo traded up two spots to get its preferred cornerback still on the board in Elam, who was a late riser in the draft process. Elam, a Florida product, was a blue-chip recruit coming out of high school who made a seamless transition to SEC play, landing SEC All-Freshman honors in 2019. He checks in at 6-foot-1 and 191 pounds with 31.88-inch arms. Physically gifted, Elam ran a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash. Elam projects to start opposite Tre'Davious White in the Buffalo secondary.
