2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hughes operated primarily as a slot CB last year but appears to have the inside edge at claiming the CB2 role opposite A.J. Terrell in 2024. Hughes also has experience as a return man but likely wouldn't get too many chances to showcase that skill if he's a regular starter on defense. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Posts seven tackles in Week 1
Hughes registered seven solo tackles during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Hughes was Atlanta's slot cornerback last season, but he's shifted outside this year, operating as the No. 2 CB opposite A.J. Terrell. Hughes was briefly benched for Clark Phillips in Week 1, and Kevin King, who was up from the practice squad, also saw two defensive snaps, so it's unclear how safe Hughes' starting role is. Regardless, Hughes played 57 of Atlanta's 68 defensive snaps and will have some IDP value as long as he's on the field that often.

2018
Hughes signed a two-year deal with the Falcons this offseason after appearing in 16 games, including a career-high six starts, with Detroit in 2022. He's slated to compete for a depth role but will also take over primary punt-return duties with Avery Williams out for the season. The 2018 first-round pick has played for three different teams in five seasons, and while he's struggled with consistency, he's shown flashes of being an elite playmaker.
