Scouting report

Summary

Dean Patterson carries a 10.0 dynasty score, ranking 741 at WR. His current age is not publicly available with 3 years remaining on his contract.

Projection Rationale

His Verdict efficiency grade at the 45th percentile suggests he is not as effective as in the past. Patterson has 3 years remaining on his contract, which should secure his role. However, his recent performance has been underwhelming, and it’s unclear if he can regain his former form.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025. Patterson’s Verdict durability grade is at the 75th percentile, indicating moderate durability risk.

Opportunity Notes

The Buccaneers have a 45.8% run rate, which could limit Patterson’s opportunities. This high run rate may force the Buccaneers to rely more heavily on their running game, potentially reducing Patterson’s target share.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Josh Grizzard coordinates a west_coast offense with a 64.7% shotgun rate. Patterson will benefit from the west_coast scheme’s emphasis on short passes and high-volume target distribution.

Trend Assessment

Declining. Patterson’s production declined, with a 25th percentile Verdict production grade and a 45th percentile Verdict efficiency grade.

Ceiling / Floor

Patterson’s ceiling is WR3-WR5, requiring significant improvement in his efficiency metrics. His floor is WR6-WR8, considering his trade value of 1.5. In order to reach his ceiling, Patterson will need to demonstrate a marked improvement in his production.
