2023 Fantasy Outlook
McDuffie finished his rookie season with 44 total tackles, a sack and a forced fumble across 11 games in 2022. The 22-year-old landed on injured reserve for part of last season with a hamstring injury, but the cornerback appears to be healthy and ready to fill a starting spot in the Chiefs' defensive backfield for the 2023 campaign. Read Past Outlooks
Production boost in second season
McDuffie notched 80 tackles (60 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and forced five fumbles during the 2023 regular season.
ANALYSIS
McDuffie graded out as one of the best all-around cornerbacks in the league in 2023, posting the 19th-best coverage grade among corners and the second-best grade as a pass rusher while also grading out reasonably well in his efforts against the run. McDuffie's efforts opposite L'Jarius Sneed helped the Chiefs to the second-fewest yards per game and fourth-fewest passing yards per game allowed during the 2023 regular season. McDuffie just finished out the second year of his rookie deal in Kansas City, so he'll remain a key piece in the Chiefs' secondary next season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top S2 Cognition score in 2022
McDuffie posted the highest score among the 2022 NFL Draft class on the S2 Cognition test, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The S2 Cognition test evaluates processing speed, which has correlated with success in the NFL. A high score on this test has been especially indicative of strong quarterback play, as Brock Purdy joined the likes of Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Joe Burrow as players with elite scores. QB is far from the only position that benefits from quick processing speed, though, and McDuffie put his skills to use as a rookie, making 11 regular-season starts at cornerback and three more in the playoffs for the Super Bowl-winning Chiefs.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
In a league increasingly trending toward the passing attack, cornerbacks have become much more valuable. McDuffie was the third cornerback off the board in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft behind Derek Stingley and Sauce Gardner and will infuse additional talent into a secondary that finished sixth-worst in the league in passing yards allowed per game (251.4) last season. He should be a candidate to hold down a starting spot out of the gate. McDuffie wasn't exactly a takeaway machine in college, recording just two career interceptions, but he tallied 35 tackles last season, proving his willingness to help out against the run.
