Summary
Josh Whyle carries a 73.0 dynasty score, ranking 55 at TE. Whyle’s 2025 production declined, with a 12.1 fantasy point average, and his age trajectory (95th percentile) suggests a limited upside.
Projection Rationale
Whyle’s 2025 receiving statistics (36 yds, 5/6 tgt, 1 TD, 1 1D) indicate a limited role in the offense, and his Verdict efficiency grade (50th percentile) suggests room for improvement. Whyle’s contract situation (APY: $2,000,000, Years Remaining: 0) may impact his role security. His Verdict durability grade (71st percentile) and age trajectory (95th percentile) indicate a moderate risk profile.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Whyle’s Verdict durability grade (71st percentile) and age trajectory (95th percentile) indicate a moderate risk profile.
Opportunity Notes
Whyle’s snap share trended up in 2025 (38.8% average) and peaked at 64.0% in Week 17. The TE role appears to be secure, but competition for the job is uncertain.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Matt LaFleur coordinates a shanahan_tree offense with a 61.8% shotgun rate and a 55.6% 11 personnel grouping, which may limit Whyle’s receiving opportunities.
Trend Assessment
Declining
Whyle’s 2025 production declined, and his Verdict Scores indicate a 30th percentile production grade.
Ceiling / Floor
Whyle’s ceiling is TE4-TE5, and he must maintain a significant role in the offense for that to happen. His floor is TE6, and his trade value (3,614) suggests he has some value, but it may be limited.
