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.

Enters concussion protocol
Hufanga was diagnosed with a concussion during Sunday's game against the Cardinals and will not return, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hufanga was evaluated for a concussion during halftime. His diagnosis means that he will not be able to return to Sunday's game and he'll finish with five tackles (four solo). Tashaun Gipson and Ji'Ayir Brown will serve as the 49ers' safeties for the rest of Sunday's game due to injuries to Hufanga and Malik Mustapha (knee).

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.
