26-Year-Old SafetyS
Los Angeles Chargers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Molden was acquired from the Titans just days before the start of the 2024 regular season and played well enough to re-sign with the team on a three-year, $18.5 million deal before free agency kicked off. It's notable the team opted to re-sign the safety despite watching four other defensive starters leave via free agency, and the 2021 third-rounder's responsibilities will likely grow as the trio of Molden, Alohi Gilman and Derwin James will be expected to provide needed support in a secondary that will feature a completely churned over cornerback group.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2022
Molden bounced back from a 2022 season that was derailed by a groin injury to post career-high marks in snaps and tackles in 2023. He also tallied a pick-six for the second time in his three-year career, showcasing a notable play-making ability. As the Titans' roster is constructed in late May, Molden should have the inside track to start at strong safety, and he should be in line for another career-best statistical season if he can stay healthy.
Due to a number of injuries in the Titans' secondary, Molden stepped into an immediate role in his rookie season. He tallied four pass breakups and an interception, though his role could actually diminish if Caleb Farley is able to get healthy.
