2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hufanga continued his ascension as one of the top safeties in the league in 2023 by recording 52 tackles and three interceptions across 10 games before suffering a torn ACL in Week 11. Personally trained by legendary safety Troy Polamalu, Hufanga boasts a similar combination of physical play with a nose for the football. Head coach Kyle Shanahan expects his starting safety to return to the field sometime during training camp, putting Hufanga in position to be an impact IDP player for the 2024 season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Hufanga had a true breakout campaign in 2022, posting strong IDP numbers in the process (97 tackles, six turnovers and two sacks). The 23-year-old has been trained by legendary safety and fellow USC graduate Troy Polamalu, and the similarities showed both in aggressive style of play and flowing locks while patrolling the secondary. With veteran safety Jimmie Ward gone, Hufanga becomes the 49ers' top defensive back for this upcoming season.
