Terrell finished 2023 with 45 tackles (34 solo) and 11 pass defenses in 17 appearances.
ANALYSIS
Terrell is considered one of the best cover cornerbacks in the league, but he's struggled to generate production the last two seasons, especially in the playmaking department. After totaling four interceptions and four forced fumbles across his first two NFL seasons, the 2020 first-round pick has recorded just one fumble recovery over the last two campaigns. As long as that trend continues, Terrell is a better player in real life than fantasy. Atlanta exercised the fifth-year team option for 2024 on Terrell's rookie deal, so he'll be back next season, though he's slated to be an unrestricted free agent after that.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Good candidate for first Pro Bowl
Kevin Patra of NFL.com labels Terrell as a strong candidate to earn his first Pro Bowl nod in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Terrell was on Patra's NFL.com colleague Nick Shook's first-time Pro Bowler list last summer as well and ultimately didn't garner the honors, but his dry spell could finally be broken this season. Patra points out the 630 passing yards and 4.7 yards per target Terrell has allowed in primary coverage since 2021 are both the lowest figures in the NFL over that span, per Pro Football Focus. The 2020 first-round pick has been exhibiting the traits of a top cover corner since his rookie year as well, and Patra adds the defensive improvements Atlanta made around Terrell this offseason should also be of significant benefit.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Terrell has been an above average cornerback since the Falcons drafted him in the first round in 2020, totaling 202 tackles, 32 pass defenses, four interceptions, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in three seasons. The fifth-year option on his rookie deal was exercised this offseason, so he's under contract through 2024 and figures to remain Atlanta's top CB for at least the next two campaigns. His production dropped in 2022, but with the addition of safety Jessie Bates, the Falcons secondary has improved on paper, which may help Terrell bounce back in 2023.
