Sebastian Joseph-Day

The massive defensive tackle joined the Chargers on a three-year, $24 million deal last season to improve the defensive line last offseason and Joseph-Day more or less held up his end of the bargain playing over 750 total snaps and recording 56 tackles and nine tackles for a loss. Too often the Chargers still were pushed around in the run game, a fact that could prove even more troublesome given the team didn't add any household names up front this offseason.

Head coach Brandon Staley brought a bit of his Rams roster to the other side of LA this offseason as the Chargers signed Joseph-Day to a massive three-year deal despite the defensive tackle missing the last 14 games of last season due to a pectoral injury. In his seven games played, the fourth-year rusher played a key role for last year's Super Bowl champions as he accounted for 38 tackles and three sacks. With Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack rushing off the edge, it's likely Joseph-Day and 2019 first-round pick Jerry Tillery will be prominent interior pass rushers for a Chargers defense that is expected to take a massive step forward in 2022.

The 26-year-old defensive tackle has started 31 of 32 games the past two seasons, including all 16 in 2020. Joseph-Day also racked up 11 more tackles last year than in 2019, despite playing 76 fewer defensive snaps. However, the run stopper has just three career sacks, so there's not a lot of fantasy upside. Joseph-Day likely is only an IDP option in formats that require managers to start multiple defensive linemen.

A 15-game starter in 2019, Joseph-Day is the favorite to open the 2020 season as the starting defensive tackle in Los Angeles' 3-4 base defense following A'Shawn Robinson's placement on the active/non-football injury list during the offseason. A sixth-round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, the 25-year-old recorded 44 tackles (25 solo) and two sacks last year. However, unless there's notable statistical improvement, it's unlikely Joseph-Day makes a consistent fantasy impact in IDP settings.

The second-year pro didn't see the field as a rookie after being selected in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Joseph-Day projects to slide into a starting role in 2019, though. He committed to an offseason conditioning and nutrition program and has stood out during OTAs and training camp. It's unlikely Joseph-Day has a notable fantasy impact, but he could surprise if opposing offenses are too focused on slowing down fellow linemen Aaron Donald and Michael Brockers.
