2025 Fantasy Outlook
After logging a career-high 109 tackles in 2023, the 2020 second-rounder missed four games and wasn't able to hit the century mark this past season, ending up with 81 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the 13 games he saw action in. When he's healthy, however, Dugger offers IDP utility assuming he maintains his role as a starting safety for the Patriots. Read Past Outlooks
In line to start Week 6
Dugger is slated to start at safety against the Saints on Sunday due to the absence of Jaylinn Hawkins (hamstring), Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Dugger played just one defensive snap and seven snaps on special teams during the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Bills. However, the 2020 second-rounder appears to be in line to work with the Patriots' starting defense in the absence of Hawkins. Dugger has 12 tackles (five solo) through five regular-season games this year.

2021
Dugger followed up his breakout 2022 season with a consistent 2023 campaign that saw him emerge as the clear leader of New England's secondary and one of the top players on the defensive unit. In addition to a higher volume of snaps, Dugger also saw his role change from primarily playing in the slot and box to a more traditional free safety role. The end result was largely the same, as he picked off multiple passes for the third straight year and averaged over 6.0 tackles per game. Dugger is now cemented as an every-down player, signified by the four-year, $58 million extension he earned this offseason. He may not be destined for a significant step forward, but he'll contribute solidly on a weekly basis.

ANALYSIS
Dugger played late into the Patriots' third preseason game, an odd development given that he's played at least 700 defensive snaps in four straight seasons. Shortly after, trade rumors emerged, with several teams reportedly engaged. While Dugger remains on the roster for now, his name may continue to pop up in trade talks.
