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.

Moved to IR
Molden (shin) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Molden fractured his fibula in last Saturday's win against New England. Though he'd technically be eligible to return if the Chargers make the Super Bowl, head coach Jim Harbaugh has already stated that the fourth-year safety will not play again this season, per Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site. Tony Jefferson is a candidate to step into a starting role in Molden's place, though that job could ultimately go to Alohi Gilman (hamstring), who was designated to return from IR on Wednesday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Team adds competition at safety
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.
