Summary
Karl Brooks carries a 77.0 dynasty score, ranking 131 at DL. With 8 solo tackles, 1 TFL, and 0.5 sacks in 16 games, Brooks indicates a stable production trajectory. Given his 100th percentile age trajectory and 3 years remaining on his contract, Brooks is likely to maintain his role.
Projection Rationale
Brooks’ 8 solo tackles and 1 TFL in 16 games suggest steady production. His efficiency grade ranks at the 61st percentile, indicating room for improvement. However, his Verdict grade on his contract ranks at the 50th percentile, and he has 3 years remaining. His APY of $1,013,007 and $212,028 guaranteed remaining may limit his ceiling.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Brooks’ 98th percentile durability grade and 26 years of age suggest a low injury risk profile.
Opportunity Notes
Brooks’ snap share trended stable at 62.7%. The retained coaching staff, including Matt LaFleur and Adam Stenavich, appears to secure his defensive role.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Jonathan Gannon coordinates a 4-3 zone-heavy defense with a 23.9% blitz rate. This scheme helps Brooks’ pass-rushing ceiling with a high blitz rate.
