Summary
Ivan Pace carries a 84.0 dynasty score, ranking 94 at LB. Pace’s 2025 season stats show a decline in production, which raises concerns about his future role with the Vikings. His contract situation, with only one year remaining, adds to the uncertainty.
Projection Rationale
Pace’s 27 solo tackles in 2025 indicate a moderate level of production, but his efficiency grade at the 65th percentile suggests he can improve. His contract situation (APY and years remaining) limits his role security, making it essential to monitor his situation closely. Additionally, his snap share decline in 2025 is a concern, as it may indicate a loss of trust from the coaching staff.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Pace’s durability grade percentile is 88th, which suggests he is relatively healthy, but his age (25) is a concern that may impact his future performance.
Opportunity Notes
Pace’s snap share trended down from a high of 89.0% to a concerning 2.0% in 2025. He faces competition for the LB role, which may impact his playing time and opportunities for production.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Brian Flores coordinates a blitz-heavy 3-4 defense with a 48.0% blitz rate, which can help Pace’s sack production but also limits his overall fantasy ceiling.
Trend Assessment
Declining
Pace’s production declined in 2025, and his snap share trended down, resulting in a decline in his overall performance.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: LB2-LB3, requiring improved efficiency and consistent production. Floor: LB5-LB6, if Pace loses the LB role or the team switches to a more pass-happy scheme, referencing his trade value of 3,822 as market context.
