2024 Fantasy Outlook
The No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Alt is a hulking presence at 6-foot-8, 321 pounds and also a tone setter for the run-oriented regime that is expected to be established by new head coach Jim Harbaugh. A three-year starter at Notre Dame, Alt profiles as an excellent pass blocker, but he's also a significant road grader in his own right.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could reset tackle market
Alt could be the next player who gets a contract that radically re-aligns the salary structure at his position, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The offensive tackle market hasn't kept pace with the ballooning salaries in recent years at other positions, like edge rusher, but that could soon change. The Commanders' Laremy Tunsil is currently the only tackle making more than $30 million per season, but Alt will be eligible for an extension next offseason that could land him in that bracket. Alt was the fifth overall pick in the 2024 Draft, but he's coming off a 2025 campaign that was shortened to just five games due to an ankle injury. If he stays healthy, he should be able to cash in.
