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. Read Past Outlooks
Nonfactor down the stretch
Alford finished 2023 with 41 tackles (25 solo), six pass defenses and one fumble recovery in 16 appearances. He also recorded 13 kick-return yards and 160 punt-return yards.
ANALYSIS
After being a regular defensive contributor for the first 14 weeks of the season, Alford was relegated to primarily operating on special teams over the final four games. He's under contract for one more season, but if the Falcons make any additions to their secondary this offseason, Alford's defensive role could become obsolete in 2024.

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.
