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

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
Ready to take over for Slater
Alt will excel after sliding to left tackle to cover for Rashawn Slater after he suffered a season-ending knee injury, Seth Walder of ESPN predicts.
ANALYSIS
Losing Slater for the season during training camp was a big blow for the Chargers' offensive line, and Alt will be asked to take another step forward as a result. Alt was excellent during his rookie season playing at right tackle, and Walder projects he'll make the transition to the opposite side of the line seamlessly.
