23-Year-Old SafetyS
Detroit Lions
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Joseph had himself an impressive 2023 campaign with Detroit, securing 82 tackles, 11 pass deflections and four interceptions while not allowing a touchdown in coverage over 15 games. The 23-year-old will enter his third season in the NFL as the Lions' undisputed top option at free safety as both Tracy Walker and C.J. Gardner-Johnson no longer are in the picture. Joseph could be set to cross the 100-tackle threshold this season while working alongside Brian Branch in what Detroit's defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn hopes to be an improved secondary in 2024.

Pick-six in victory

November 4, 2024
Joseph recorded four total tackles and a pick-six in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Joseph was able to snag yet another interception in Week 9, picking off Jordan Love with less than a minute in the first half and returning it for a touchdown. The safety has now snatched six interceptions in 2024, which is tied with Packers safety Xavier McKinney for the most in the NFL, though Joseph has played one less game. Joseph has had a spectacular start to the season, compiling 43 total tackles (29 solo), six interceptions, including Sunday's pick-six, and eight total passes defensed over eight games in 2024.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Joseph had a good rookie season but now has more competition for snaps after the Lions added C.J. Gardner-Johnson and two other reputable cornerbacks to help Tracy Walker lead the secondary. And that was before also spending a 2023 second-round pick on safety Brian Branch. Considering Joseph didn't see a play on defense last season until after Walker tore his Achilles in Week 3, this influx of talent at defensive back seems to pose a big threat towards Joseph continuing to log 100 percent of the snaps on a game-by-game basis this year.
There are high expectations for the third-round rookie, and Joseph has drawn praise from his coaches during training camp. While DeShon Elliott seems to have a solid hold on the starting spot at safety next to Tracy Walker this year, Joseph is the future at that position.

SDetroit Lions
May 13, 2024
Joseph is expected to be a non-participant in spring practices after undergoing offseason hip surgery, but he's hoping he'll be cleared to participate in training camp, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
A third-round pick in 2022, Joseph suffered a hip injury early last season that kept him off the field in Weeks 3 and 4, but he was able to return to the lineup and play through the issue for the rest of the campaign. The Illinois product has racked up 165 tackles and eight interceptions over his first 32 NFL games.
