October 1, 2025
Hawkins (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hawkins played just 57 percent of defensive snaps Week 4 after essentially being an every-down starter the first three weeks of the regular season. It appears that change in workload was due to injury, making Hawkins' status unclear for Sunday's road divisional matchup against the Bills. He'll likely need to get back on the practice field Thursday and/or Friday to have a chance at playing Week 5.

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.
Hawkins appeared in 14 games last year and totaled 24 tackles, three pass deflections and two interceptions. The 2020 fourth-round pick is expected to be the Falcons' top nickel defender, but if Erik Harris (pectoral) isn't 100 percent by Week 1, it's possible Hawkins enters the 2021 campaign as the Falcons' starting free safety.
The Falcons love Hawkins' versatility. He is a 6-foot-2 safety who played with physicality while defending the run at Cal, and he also recorded 10 interceptions over his final three seasons. Coming from Pac-10 play and having an abbreviated rookie offseason certainly ups the learning curve for Hawkins initially, but he will have the benefit of studying behind veteran talents like Ricardo Allen, Damontae Kazee and Keanu Neal.
