2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could fit in Washington
Mike Jones of The Athletic views the Commanders and Patriots as the best fits for Dugger in free agency.
ANALYSIS
The Patriots have placed the transition tag on Dugger, which will give them the opportunity to match any free-agent offer to the safety. However, Jones doesn't believe it's necessarily a done deal that the safety will return to New England. Washington's secondary struggled mightily in 2023, and the Commanders could try to address that deficiency with a big offer to Duggar, who is one of the top unsigned players remaining on the heels of a 109-tackle season in New England.
