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.

January 11, 2026
Molden (hamstring) is active for Sunday night's wild-card matchup against New England.
ANALYSIS
Molden will be good to go for the opening round of the postseason, ultimately being given the green light to play after logging a week's worth of limited practices with a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old will operate in his starting role alongside Derwin James at safety versus the Patriots.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Nabs new contract from Chargers
SLos Angeles Chargers
February 21, 2025
Molden, who finished the 2024 season sidelined by a leg injury and was slated to become a free agent at the start of the new league year, signed a three-year deal with the Chargers on Thursday, Adam Schefter and Kris Rhim of ESPN report.
ANALYSIS
The Chargers traded with the Titans for Molden just before Week 1 of the 2024 season. It proved a prudent move, as the 2021 third-round pick recorded a career-high 75 tackles and seven defensed passes, including three interceptions, across 15 regular-season games. The deal has a total value of $18.75 million, including $13.5 million guaranteed.
