Summary
Dee Winters carries a 84.0 dynasty score, ranking 91st at linebacker.
Winters’ production declined in 2025, with a 52nd percentile Verdict production grade. His overall performance has been impacted by this decline, making it challenging for him to maintain his previous level of success. He is 25 years old with 3 years remaining on his contract.
Projection Rationale
Winters’ 67 solo tackles in 2025 indicate a stable but declining production trajectory. His 11.4% missed tackle rate is consistent with a 42nd percentile Verdict efficiency grade. Winters has 3 years remaining on his contract with an annual average salary of $993,333. His current contract structure provides a level of security, but his production decline raises concerns about his overall value.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Winters’ 92nd percentile Verdict durability grade indicates a low injury risk, but he is 25 years old, which increases his vulnerability to injuries.
Opportunity Notes
Winters’ snap share percentage decreased from 100.0% to 78.0% between Week 7 and Week 11. His role is not secure due to competition from other linebackers, which could further impact his production.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Matt Eberflus coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 28.2% blitz rate. This scheme limits Winters’ ceiling due to his declining production and injury risk, making it challenging for him to excel in his current role.
Trend Assessment
Declining
Winters’ production declined in 2025, with a 52nd percentile Verdict production grade. This downward trend is evident in his recent performance, which has raised concerns about his long-term prospects.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: LB2-LB3; Winters must maintain his current snap share and improve his production to reach this level. Floor: LB5-LB6; Winters’ trade value of 3,822 indicates a moderate floor, but his overall value is contingent upon his ability to rebound from his recent decline.
