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.

Moving to LT after Slater injury
Alt is expected to shift to left tackle in the wake of Rashawn Slater's season-ending knee injury, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Alt primarily played left tackle at Notre Dame, so the 2024 fifth overall pick should have little trouble making the switch from right tackle, where he played his rookie year. Trey Pipkins is expected to move into the starting right tackle role. Slater sustained a torn patellar tendon in practice Thursday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Excelling in pass blocking
Alt didn't allow a pressure on any of his 38 pass blocking snaps in the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Saints, per Next Gen Stats, tying for the most snaps without a pressure allowed by a rookie tackle over the past three seasons.
ANALYSIS
Alt is living up to his pre-draft hype, as the fifth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has quickly turned into one of the league's most reliable pass blockers. The rookie has begun his career at right tackle, but Alt will likely shift over to left tackle eventually to protect Justin Herbert's blindside.
