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.

Tallies five tackles in return
Hufanga logged five tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 38-13 win over the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Hufanga returned Sunday from a seven-game absence Sunday due to a right wrist injury. He played in a reserve role behind rookie Malik Mustapha (chest) at strong safety, but Hufanga still managed to tie Charvarius Ward and Mustapha for the second-most tackles on the 49ers behind De'Vondre Campbell (seven). Hufanga played 38 snaps on defense and could see a heavier workload against the Rams on Thursday if Mustapha is unable to suit up.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to return in Week 2
Hufanga has the chance to play Week 2 against Minnesota, David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hufanga is working his way back from an Achilles injury that ended his 2023 season early, and he avoided the PUP list while logging limited practice sessions ahead of Monday's Week 1 matchup against the Jets. While he was inactive for the season opener, coach Kyle Shanahan noted that he expects the safety to continue to ramp up his activity level in practice. Hufanga's status for Week 2 will not become clear until later in the week.
