Summary
Genard Avery holds a 38.0 dynasty score, ranking 397th at linebacker. Avery’s efficiency saw improvement in 2024, but his overall production declined, and he remains in a decline phase at age 29, which is a concerning trend for a player of his skill level.
Projection Rationale
Avery’s 2024 production (0th percentile in production) indicates a decline, while his 50th percentile efficiency grade suggests improvement in his role, but this improvement may not be enough to offset the decline in production. Furthermore, Avery’s contract situation is a mid-tier APY, with no guaranteed money remaining and a 0.0 Win-Now score, making him a potential trade candidate.
Injury Risk
Avery’s 75th percentile durability grade and age of 29 pose moderate injury risk, which could further impact his production and overall value.
Opportunity Notes
Avery’s snap share trended stable in 2024, averaging 3.0% of defensive snaps. However, the Colts’ linebacker corps is uncertain, and Avery may face competition for his role, which could impact his production and overall value.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Avery’s 28th percentile usage grade suggests he plays a significant role in this scheme, but his efficiency suggests he could be more effective in a different system.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Avery’s production has been on a downward trend, which is consistent with his stable snap share, indicating that his role is secure but his performance is not meeting expectations.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: LB3-LB4, if Avery regains his 2023 production levels. Floor: LB6-LB7, if volume decreases or Avery loses his role.
