2025 Fantasy Outlook
Joseph cashed in with a four-year contract extension in the offseason, which was well-deserved after another impressive campaign in 2024. The safety registered 83 total tackles while also adding 12 passes defensed, including an NFL-leading nine interceptions, over 17 regular-season games. Joseph has now snatched 17 picks over three years in Detroit, and he ranks second to only linebacker Alex Anzalone (317) in total tackles since 2022, posting 248 stops over that time. He once again figures to be at the top of his position in production in the league this season. Read Past Outlooks
DNP with knee injury
Joseph (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Joseph dealt with the knee issue in practice last week but played last Sunday against the Browns. However, he aggravated the injury against Cleveland but was able to return to the game. It's unclear if he experienced a setback. Joseph's participation in practice Thursday and Friday will provide more information.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Viewed as top-five safety
Joseph was ranked the league's fifth-best safety based on votes from a combination of NFL executives, scouts and coaches, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Joseph's teammate Brian Branch was voted the NFL's second-best safety, giving Detroit the league's best one-two punch at the position. Joseph's greatest strength is his ability to defend the pass, as he had a league-leading nine interceptions in the 2024 regular season while allowing a 29.2 passer rating on passes targeting him. The Lions rewarded Joseph for his contributions by making him the league's highest-paid player at his position with a four-year, $86 million extension in April.
