Dee Alford - Operates as slot CBAlford mustered two tackles (one solo) during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
ImpactWith Mike Hughes moving outside, Alford has stepped up as the Falcons' starting slot CB in 2024. Alford played 31 defensive snaps in Week 1, which isn't enough to generate IDP value. The Steelers don't run many three-wideout sets anymore, so Alford may see more snaps when Atlanta faces a more pass-happy team.
