Sensational season
James finished the 2022-23 season with 115 tackles (64 solo), four sacks, an additional tackle for loss, two interceptions and two forced fumbles in 14 games.
ANALYSIS
James had another phenomenal season, as he led the Chargers in forced fumbles and recorded the second-most tackles. The Pro Bowl safety also had the most sacks of his career, and he wasn't as hampered by injuries as in prior seasons. Assuming he stays healthy, James should be expected to produce at a high level once again in 2023, in addition to during the upcoming postseason.

James is the best player in a tough Chargers pass defense, and his elite real-life play translates
well for IDP purposes. There’s also reason to think he can intercept more passes with Justin
Herbert regularly forcing opponents to throw. With the ability to post 120-plus tackles with
noteworthy contributions in the sack and INT columns, James is among the top candidates to
finish 2022 as the DB1 for IDP purposes.
