Summary

Josh Ross carries a 37.0 dynasty score, ranking 407 at linebacker. The 26-year-old linebacker with 1 year remaining on his contract has seen a stable snap share trend and a low usage rate in his 4-game 2025 season, which has contributed to his overall performance.

Projection Rationale

Ross’ 2025 season stats show a 0.0% missed tackle rate, indicating his efficiency remains high. However, his usage remains low, with a Verdict Usage grade at the 26th percentile. With his contract expiring next year, Ross’ role security is uncertain, and it may impact his performance in the future. Furthermore, his current production levels are not sustainable without an increase in usage.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025. At 26 years old, Ross is considered a low-risk asset due to his age and lack of injury history.

Opportunity Notes

Ross has seen a stable snap share trend, averaging 0.0% in 2024. However, his role security is uncertain due to his contract expiring soon, which may limit his opportunities in the future.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Brian Flores coordinates a blitz-heavy 3-4 defense with a 48.0% blitz rate, which helps Ross’ production but may limit his ceiling. This scheme is conducive to his abilities, but it also raises concerns about his long-term prospects.

Trend Assessment

Rising. Ross’ usage rate remains low, but his production has seen a slight increase, moving from the 0th percentile in production to a stable snap share trend. This shift indicates potential for growth in his future performance.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling: LB2-LB3, if Ross sees increased usage and production. Floor: LB5-LB6, if his usage remains low and he loses his job, which is a possible scenario given his contract situation.
