Joe Alt's ankle injury tests the Chargers' tackle depth, prompting early workouts for Gottlieb Ayedze, McClendon Curtis, Michael Dunn, Jaylon Thomas and Isas Waxter. With Slater out for the season and Becton dealing with a concussion, LA might lean on internal depth for the foreseeable future. Deculus could shift to left tackle, Sarell would serve as the primary backup swing, and Pipkins remains at right tackle. Fantasy wings should monitor practice reps for quick-shift protection and potential upswings in Week 5.

As Alt sits, the Chargers’ offensive line becomes a chessboard—internal options must prove they can protect Herbert and open lanes for the run game. Depth gains from these workouts could elevate certain linemen in fantasy as early as the next game, depending on how quickly the coaching staff trusts new blockers in real-game reps.
