Mike Hughes

Mike Hughes racked up seven solo tackles during Sunday’s 28-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

Hughes started for Trae Waynes (personal) and put in a solid effort. He can be left on waivers in most leagues but is worth remembering in deeper dynasty formats as a potential late-season add.

The Minnesota Vikings have placed rookie first-round pick CB Mike Hughes on injured reserve with a torn ACL, suffered during the Vikings' Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Hughes, one of the best corners in the 2018 draft, was playing well in Minnesota's defense. Opposing offenses might have an easier time picking on his replacement, which will likely be some combination of three players on the active roster: (1) Mackensie Alexander, (2) Jayron Kearse, or (3) rookie Holton Hill.

Mike Hughes is now confirmed to have torn his ACL during Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. He will miss the rest of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Look for Mackensie Alexander and Holton Hill to get more playing time as the main backups for the Vikings cornerbacks. In deeper leagues look at Alexander first prior to picking up Hill or another CB.

Mike Hughes will undergo testing on Monday to determine if he did indeed tear his ACL during Sunday’s 27-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Hughes was able to get one tackle before leaving Sunday’s game.

Fantasy Impact

This injury is not good news for Minnesota’s secondary. The until has been dealing with injuries all season and this might leave the Vikings a bit short at cornerback. Look for Mackensie Alexander to get more playing time as the main backup to the staters.

Mike Hughes recorded five total tackles, all solo, during Sunday’s win over the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact

Hughes is making the most of his playing time as he fills in for Trae Waynes who missed Sunday’s game with a concussion. If Waynes continues to miss time, Hughes is a decent replacement DB that most IDP owners could use on a weekly basis.
