2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Traded to Chargers
SLos Angeles Chargers
August 28, 2024
The Chargers acquired Molden (concussion protocols) from the Titans on Wednesday in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round pick.
ANALYSIS
Molden registered a career-high 73 tackles (47 solo), four passes defended and a pick-six across 15 regular-season games for the Titans in 2023. Despite the uptick in production, Molden was set to see less snaps in Tennessee's secondary with Amani Hooker, Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams all getting work at safety, while Roger McCreary slots in at nickel corner. Molden will get a fresh start with the Chargers, and he should be utilized across multiple spots in the Bolts' secondary.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Team adds competition at safety
STennessee Titans
July 11, 2024
The Titans agreed to a contract with Jamal Adams on Thursday, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, adding competition for Molden's starting safety spot.
ANALYSIS
Adams is a three-time All-Pro at strong safety, but injuries limited him to just 10 appearances over the last two regular seasons with Seattle, and he most recently was sidelined by a knee injury down the stretch in 2023. Molden is currently penciled in as the starting free safety, but if Adams is healthy heading into 2024, the Titans could opt to shift Amani Hooker from strong safety to free safety and open up a starting spot for Adams at Molden's expense.
