2025 Fantasy Outlook
Alt was widely considered to be one of the best tackle prospects to come into the league in recent memory and the Notre Dame product largely lived up to that billing through the course of his rookie season. Between Alt and Rashawn Slater, the Chargers have arguably the best young tackle duo in the league, and the team should rely on them heavily in its run-first offensive scheme. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $33.16 million contract with the Chargers in June of 2024.
Sits out another practice Wednesday
Alt (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Alt continues to be hampered by an ankle injury he suffered in Week 4 against the Giants. He hasn't practiced since he got hurt, though coach Jim Harbaugh said last Wednesday that the second-year offensive tackle is doing "really well." Austin Deculus has been logging starts during Alt's absence.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Alt is a hulking presence at 6-foot-8, 321 pounds and also a tone setter for the run-oriented regime that is expected to be established by new head coach Jim Harbaugh. A three-year starter at Notre Dame, Alt profiles as an excellent pass blocker, but he's also a significant road grader in his own right.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to miss several weeks
Alt is likely to miss multiple weeks after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
It's a big blow to the Chargers offense, as Alt had already slid over from right tackle to left tackle to replace Rashawn Slater, who was lost for the season in August with a knee injury. Austin Deculus, a sixth-round pick of the Texans in 2022 who has only one career start in the NFL, is the next man up to protect Justin Herbert's blind side.
