2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 2023 seventh-round pick, Hellams was healthy at OTAs this spring after missing 2024 due to a devastating ankle injury. He made 15 appearances as a rookie, starting as a special teamer before carving out a regular defensive role late in the campaign. The Falcons signed Jordan Fuller this offseason to replace Justin Simmons, leaving Hellams to compete with rookie third-round pick Xavier Watts as the top reserve safety. Read Past Outlooks

The Falcons placed Hellams (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hellams was unable to practice this week after suffering a hamstring injury in the Falcons' Week 13 loss to the Jets. The third-year pro played in 11 of 12 games for Atlanta, appearing almost exclusively on special teams. The 25-year-old will miss at least four games, with the final week of the regular season against the Saints being the earliest he can return.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 2023 seventh-round pick, Hellams started his rookie season as a special teamer, playing 60 defensive snaps over the first 10 games. He carved out a defensive role following Atlanta's Week 11 bye and started his final three appearances, recording 21 tackles. Hellams finished last year with 40 tackles across 354 defensive snaps and was on track to compete with Richie Grant for reps to start 2024. However, a severe ankle injury will sideline Hellams to begin the campaign, and the Falcons shored up their safety depth at the end of training camp by signing Justin Simmons.
