2024 Fantasy Outlook
Joseph had himself an impressive 2023 campaign with Detroit, securing 82 tackles, 11 pass deflections and four interceptions while not allowing a touchdown in coverage over 15 games. The 23-year-old will enter his third season in the NFL as the Lions' undisputed top option at free safety as both Tracy Walker and C.J. Gardner-Johnson no longer are in the picture. Joseph could be set to cross the 100-tackle threshold this season while working alongside Brian Branch in what Detroit's defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn hopes to be an improved secondary in 2024.

Interception machine in 2024
Joseph finished the 2024 regular season with 83 total tackles (58 solo), while also adding 12 passes defensed, including nine interceptions, over 17 games.
ANALYSIS
Joseph matched his career-high 83 total tackles in 2024, but he more than doubled his career interception total this year. The safety had combined to intercept eight balls during his first two years in the league before he picked off an NFL-high nine passes, one of which he returned for a touchdown in Week 9 versus the rival Packers, this season. The 24-year-old has formed a dynamic duo with Brian Branch at safety for Detroit, and Joseph will be entering the final year of his rookie contract with the Lions in 2025.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Joseph had a good rookie season but now has more competition for snaps after the Lions added C.J. Gardner-Johnson and two other reputable cornerbacks to help Tracy Walker lead the secondary. And that was before also spending a 2023 second-round pick on safety Brian Branch. Considering Joseph didn't see a play on defense last season until after Walker tore his Achilles in Week 3, this influx of talent at defensive back seems to pose a big threat towards Joseph continuing to log 100 percent of the snaps on a game-by-game basis this year.
