Fantasy Impact
Chiefs are sending their 2022 sixth-round pick to the Vikings in return for Hughes and their 2022 seventh-round pick. Hughes only started two games this season. He did not record any interceptions and had nine tackles on the season. Chiefs wanted to add CB depth and Hughes will look to bounce back in Kansas City.
Minnesota Vikings CB Mike Hughes will not have his fifth-year option picked up by the team, per Ian Rapoport.
Fantasy Impact
Hughes has dealt with significant injuries throughout his tenure in Minnesota, playing in just four games during the 2020 season. The cornerback out of UCF enters his fourth year in Minnesota with just 80 tackles, 13 pass deflections, and two interceptions as his career totals. Vikings' head coach Mike Zimmer signed free-agent and former Arizona Cardinals All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson during free agency to add experience and strengthen one of the league's worst defensive units from a year ago. Minnesota wound up allowing 258.8 passing yards per game in 2020, ranking eighth-worst in the league.
Mike Hughes (neck) didn't participate practice on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Hughes has not practiced all week and is danger of missing Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Titans. The Vikings defense has struggled this season, but the team could be without their top two corners on Sunday. Keep an eye on the inactive list once it's announced Sunday morning.
