Early read

Most of his numbers are still mostly luck; 50 is average

Grades updated Rechecked every few hours on game days

What we can and cannot say about a lineman. No public data credits one lineman with a block won or lost. This page shows what does exist: how often he is flagged compared with the other linemen, how much he plays, and how his whole line does in the games he starts. The line's numbers are shared by the five who start together, so they describe the unit more than the man.

01 / 12

The read

Joe has played 4 games for 218 offensive snaps, 3 games started and 6 penalties, but every advanced number is still mostly luck at this point, so his grade of 49 is a placeholder rather than a verdict.

  • Game to game on line run success: best 62% in Week 3 against BUF, worst 32% in Week 2. He beat the typical offensive lineman's line run success in 1 of 3 games.
  • Season rank slipped: 14th to 1st percentile since Wk 2.
  • Role is shrinking: When he plays he is on the field for about 4 of every 10 plays lately, down from nearly every play before.
  • Too early to call: sacks allowed by his line and penalties per 1,000 snaps. After 5 games the gaps between offensive linemen on those stats are still mostly chance, so we show them without ranking.

Written from his numbers, not from film. 4 games are behind the season figures.

His team

A player is part of a unit. Here is how the Los Angeles Chargers do at his job, and who he shares the room with.

Joe is the Chargers' 3rd-best offensive lineman by grade (of 7), and the Chargers' offensive line ranks 32nd of 32.

Left is the worst at his job, right is the best, and the line down the middle is average. The bubble is his percentile: 90 means better than nine in ten qualifying offensive linemen. Faded bars are still small samples. Outlined bars are stats where, this early, the gaps between players are mostly luck, so they are not ranked yet.

How he has progressed

Where he has ranked among offensive linemen after each week, and every game behind it.
WorstMiddleBestrecent12345Week 2: 20th percentileWeek 3: 69th percentile69th

Season rank climbed: 20th to 69th percentile since Wk 2.

The line is his season-to-date rank among players at his position after each week, from 99 (the best in the league) down to 1 (the worst). It rises when he passes other players, not when he has one big game. Early weeks are noisier because fewer plays are behind them. The shaded weeks are the recent stretch.

Line run success game by game
WeekOpponentThat gamerunsSeason rank after
1vs ARI38%16Not yet
2vs LV32%3120th pct
3vs BUF62%2669th pct

“Not yet” means too little of the season was behind him to rank him fairly against offensive linemen. A week-by-week rank needs most of the 150 snaps that grade a full season, so early weeks stay blank for players who see few plays, like kickers. It says nothing about how he played.

One game is a small sample: a single stat over 24 runs can swing on a handful of plays. Shaded rows are the recent stretch.

The numbers, in context

Each one against every offensive lineman with at least 150 snaps. Right on the strip is better.

Line run success

44%

61st of 162 offensive linemen · top 38%

This is his whole line's number: every lineman who starts beside him shares it, so it says how the unit is doing more than how he is.

How often the team's designed runs gain enough to keep the offense on schedule, in the games he started. It is the line, the backs and the scheme together, and the five linemen who start together share it.

The box score: Team rushing yards ignore the down and the distance.

Does it show up in winning? Across 524 games league-wide, teams won 68% of the time when their offensive lineman was in the best third on line run success, and 49% when he was in the worst third.

Too early to rank. On 103 dropbacks, luck still decides who is on top of offensive linemen.

This is his whole line's number: every lineman who starts beside him shares it, so it says how the unit is doing more than how he is.

Sacks as a share of the team's dropbacks in the games he started. It is the line and the quarterback together, and every lineman who starts beside him shares it. Fewer is better.

The box score: No sack is charged to a single lineman in the box score.

Does it show up in winning? Across 576 games league-wide, teams won 49% of the time when their offensive lineman was in the best third on sacks allowed by his line, and 30% when he was in the worst third.

Too early to rank. On 218 snaps, luck still decides who is on top of offensive linemen.

Accepted penalties called on him (holding, false starts and the rest) for every 1,000 snaps he plays. Fewer is better.

The box score: A season total is bigger for the lineman who simply played more snaps.

Does it show up in winning? Across 505 games league-wide, a good or bad game on penalties per 1,000 snaps from a offensive lineman has not lined up much with his team winning (54% wins in the best third, 57% in the worst).

Tendencies: how his game differs from the offensive linemen around him. These are not better or worse, only different, and often say as much about the offense or defense he plays in as about him.

Rotates in and out. His number is lower than most offensive linemen'. The typical offensive lineman is at 99% (nearly all).

The share of the offense's snaps he is on the field for in the games he plays. It says whether he is a full-time starter or a part of a rotation.

Pay against play

Early read

Among the 161 offensive linemen we have a grade and a contract for, Joe Alt is 108th on the field and 61st in pay. His grade is still an early read, so this says nothing yet about whether his pay is fair.

On the field (overall grade)108 of 161
In pay61 of 161

Ranks are among the 161 offensive linemen on the teams we track who have both a grade and a contract. A rank near the right of a bar is better play or higher pay.

Contract figures as of 2026-10-12, read from public cap sites (StickToTheModel team cap pages and OverTheCap contracts list and player pages) into a file we keep by hand, for all 32 teams. A deal signed, cut or reworked since may differ, and cap hits are rounded to $0.1M.

09 / 12

Playing time

He has played in 4 of his team's 5 games with snap counts, on the field for about 84% of the team's offensive plays when he plays.

Role is shrinking. When he plays he is on the field for about 4 of every 10 plays lately, down from nearly every play before.

Each column is a game: the share of his team's offensive snaps he played. 80% means about 8 of every 10 plays. “Out” means he did not play; a question mark means snap counts are not posted yet. Shaded games are the recent stretch.

One game is a small sample, so read the right-hand columns as a snapshot, not his level. A dash means that number is not in yet (charting posts a day or two after a game), not a zero.

Players with a similar profile

The offensive linemen whose grades are closest to his across the same stats. Similar means similar numbers, not the same style of play.

Ranks are among players at the same job who have enough plays to be graded. Grades and rankings come from play-by-play, charting and snap-count data, so they cannot see blocking, route running or assignments. See how the grades work.
