2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Chargers waited out the initial wave of free agency signings before scooping up Becton on a two-year, $20 million incentive-laden contract in mid March. The 2020 first-round pick saw his career revitalized by the offensive line factory that is the Philadelphia Eagles, and he'll be asked to immediately fix the seemingly constant void Los Angeles has had at right guard over the years.

ANALYSIS
Becton had been missing training camp practices entirely for a couple weeks with an unspecified injury, but he now appears to be ramping up as the regular season quickly approaches. As long as he's available, he projects to start at right guard come Week 1 versus the Chiefs.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Becton has missed most of the past two seasons due to knee injuries, but the 2020 first-round pick has slimmed down heading into 2023 in hopes of rediscovering his strong rookie form. If he can stay healthy, the 6-foot-7 Becton has the talent to earn a starting offensive tackle role for the Jets.
After a promising rookie season as the Jets' starting left tackle in 2020, Becton hurt his MCL in the 2021 season opener and went on to miss the rest of the season. If he can get and stay healthy, Becton - who's listed at 6-foot-7 and 363 pounds - should occupy one of the starting tackle spots on New York's offensive line.
Becton battled through shoulder and chest injuries as a rookie, but the 11th overall pick in the 2020 draft still put forth a promising rookie campaign, establishing himself as the Jets' left tackle of the present and future. The 6-foot-7, 364-pound behemoth has the potential to turn into one of the league's most dominant offensive linemen, but Becton will need to stay healthy and in shape to live up to his high ceiling.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Uncertain for Week 1
OGLos Angeles Chargers
August 12, 2025
Becton is still working through an undisclosed injury but is expected to be back to start the regular season, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Becton has been sidelined since July 28 with a reportedly minor injury. His lengthy absence casts doubt on the severity of the issue as described by the team, and offensive coordinator Greg Roman remained non-committal Tuesday when describing Becton's status. Though he stated he expects Becton to be ready for Week 1, Roman also stated that it wasn't a certainty.
