2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 2022 UDFA, Alford is working as the Falcons' top slot CB in 2024 with Mike Hughes moving outside. Alford also has punt-return experience but likely wouldn't be a primary return man if he's operating as a starter on defense. Read Past Outlooks
Out for Sunday
Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Friday that Alford (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Alford's absence Sunday comes as no surprise, as the Tusculum product was unable to practice all week after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Saints. Atlanta's cornerback room is expected to be headlined by A.J. Terrell, Kevin King and Clark Phillips with Alford, Mike Hughes (neck) and Antonio Hamilton (pectoral) all sidelined for Week 11.

Friday's injury reports brought good news for a bunch of star wideouts, including Tee Higgins and Nico Collins. RW's Jerry Donabedian has the full scoop.
Justin Jefferson will almost certainly have a big game Sunday, and the Colts pass defense is weak enough for Jordan Addison to get rolling in the same game.
With Tua Tagovailoa back in the lineup Jaylen Waddle should get rolling against Arizona, and the same is true of Tyreek Hill if he plays through his foot injury.
Drake London's breakout should continue against a Seattle secondary that might be without its two starting boundary corners.
The showdown between Detroit and Dallas could set up a punch-for-punch heavyweight contest where CeeDee Lamb and Amon-Ra St. Brown both go off.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
A 2019 undrafted product out of Tusculum, Alford finally got an NFL opportunity in 2022 and made the most of it by carving out a rotational role following multiple injuries to Atlanta's secondary. He recorded 25 tackles, seven pass defenses, one interception and 0.5 sacks in 16 appearances (238 defensive snaps), but Alford will be competing for a roster spot again after the Falcons added numerous talented players to its CB corps this offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pushing for starting role
Alford has worked ahead of Mike Hughes as the Falcons' primary nickel corner throughout OTAs, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Alford has impressed the coaching staff and appears to be running ahead of Hughes, who signed with the Falcons in free agency after being part of a porous Lions secondary in 2022. Atlanta's coaching staff has praised Alford's progress, and the former CFL player is poised for a bigger role after racking up 25 tackles, one interception and seven passes defensed as a reserve for the Falcons in his first NFL campaign last year.
