Hughes appeared in 16 games for the Lions in 2022, including a career-high six starts. He has experience playing both outside and in the slot, which should help Hughes fill a depth cornerback role in Atlanta.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2018
Hughes was dealt to the Chiefs this offseason in exchange for swapping the Vikings' seventh for Kansas City's sixth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. It's been a disappointing start to the 2018 first-round pick's career, with suiting up for six or fewer games in two of his first three seasons. He will challenge for playing time in a young Chiefs cornerback room that features L'Jarius Sneed and Charvarius Ward likely locked into starting roles.
Hughes finished the season on injured reserve for the second straight year, but the neck issue isn't expected to be a problem come training camp. The 2018 first-round pick had three starts in 14 games last year and had 45 tackles (39 solo), nine passes defensed, one interception and two forced fumbles. Hughes' health will be paramount for the Vikings in 2020, as he and rookie Jeff Gladney will be the favorites to start following the offseason departures of Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander.
Hughes, Minnesota's 2018 first-round draft pick, might not be a household name after playing for UCF, but that UCF defense was very tough in 2017, and Hughes was arguably its best player along with Shaquem Griffin. Hughes (5-foot-10, 189 pounds) was a physical presence in that pass defense, which allowed a completion percentage of just 55.4 while allowing 24 touchdowns versus 20 interceptions. Hughes intercepted four of those passes, returning one for a touchdown, in addition to scoring twice on kick returns and once on a punt return. Hughes should provide Minnesota with an immediate slot corner and returner upgrade, and in the long term he could move outside if Trae Waynes falters.
