Makes seven starts in 2024
Hawkins tallied 48 total tackles (27 solo) and defended one pass over 17 games in 2024.
ANALYSIS
The California product served as New England's top reserve safety this season, and with Jabrill Peppers (hamstring) missing nearly two months on the commissioner's exempt list, Hawkins had the opportunity start seven games. He was productive during his time on the field, posting the second-highest tackle total of his career while playing 581 defensive snaps. He's now set to become an unrestricted free agent after signing a one-year, $2.9 million deal with New England last offseason. Hawkins is likely to serve as a reserve safety again in 2025, whether with the Patriots or another team.

Dan Marcus focuses on IDPs worthy of a Week 6 pickup, including JD Bertrand, who played 73 percent of defensive snaps in Week 5 and logged five tackles, which should continue if Troy Andersen remains out.
It's a new era in New England with long-time coach Bill Belichick out and Jerod Mayo now leading the Patriots. As currently constructed, the team has a long way to go to achieve relevance in a stacked AFC.
Dan Marcus writes about the best IDP options for Week 3, starting in Buffalo where linebacker Terrel Bernard has been an excellent replacement for Tremaine Edward.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2020
Hawkins was a full-time starter for the first time in his career in 2022, posting 84 tackles, six pass defenses, two interceptions and a defensive touchdown. The 2020 fourth-round pick is in the final year of his rookie deal and may move back to a rotational role after the addition of safety Jesse Bates this offseason. Hawkins also could remain a prominent piece in the Falcons secondary by moving to a slot role, but Mike Hughes is the early frontrunner for that position.
